But WHY are you tied to the Whole Foods down the street?

About Me

I just finished my Master's degree in Forensic Psychology in Washington, DC and will begin my PhD work in California this Fall. I'm working in Trial Preparation with a law firm and volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate. I love to watch hockey, read, paint, or grab a drink with friends.I can't live without coffee. Like literally. I think I would die without it.My mom is the funniest character ever, and anything that can make me laugh is A-OK in my book. Make me laugh and I'll love you forever.I have incredible friends, an incredible God, and an incredible life. Oh, and I have a great rack. Can't complain.

My Interests

I love to laugh. I find that almost all situations in life offer an opportunity for laughter. Usually I find things funny that nobody else does - but that makes me laugh, too.My interests include painting, reading, forensic psychology, legal issues, spiritual growth. Hockey - specifically Sharks or Capitals. Travel - get me outta here!

I'd like to meet:

Somebody interested in funding the education of a brilliant up-and-coming psychologist. Other than that, an intelligent, witty, kind, Christian hockey player with a British or Irish accent who plays the drums in his spare time and can raise one eyebrow while he talks. Is that so much to ask?And, of course, fainting goats. I mean, COME ON!

I've Been Traumatized

So, I was in a training session to be a Court Appointed Special Advocate, and the session's topic was Sexual Abuse.  Obviously, the topic itself isn't funny in the least, but one of the activitie...

Adding to my collection of crazies...

As I approached the coffeeshop this morning, I noticed a very large man with a mustache smoking a cigarette nearby.  I was maybe within 30 feet of the front door when he shouted to me "Are you go...

Lets not forget the big picture

I was with the 4-year old boy I nanny for today, and we were hanging out with my friend's 2-year old daughter at the pool.  The little girl was wearing a onesie and was trying to undo the buttons...

London, Part 2

This past week in England has been a wild one.  Our entire group took a day trip to Stonehenge and Bath (which is now one of my favorite towns - it's gorgeous).  Then, Monday through Friday ...
