I am here for Friends

About Me

Some of my favorites: Barry, my boys, my nephews and family, movies (Love Actually, The Patriot, The Princess Bride) Theme parks, Chicago, my grandma's lake, hugs from children, hearing someone say "I love you", when sunrays break through the clouds, thunderstorms while cuddled on the couch, traveling, seeing new places, the mountains, the ocean at night, new snow, kisses from puppies, laughter, star gazing, Italian food, Chinese food, children's laughter, the sound of walking on gravel and dried leaves…
Bits and peices: I can un-wrap a starburst w/ my mouth. I know a little Spanish. I'm left handed. I have a birth mark under my chin shaped like an Idaho potato. I graduated in 2002 w/ a BA in psychology and a minor in Sociology from UCF. I was born in Waukegan, IL. Between 2000 and 2003 I moved 9 times. I've never seen the Jaws, or Rambo movies. I've never paid full face value for a speeding ticket. I've had 4 cars. I never owned a green shirt until 2005 (now I own like 4). People at work think I'm a computer genius (but it's because I'm always emailing my friend mike). I like to climb but hate cutting my nails to do it. I wish I owned an Acura MDX that got 40 miles to the gallon. I pretend that I can clog. I played soccer in second grade, never got the ball except once, then took it the wrong way down the field. I played softball in first grade, played left field, and the ONE time the ball came out there I was pulling up my socks and the ball went through my legs. I did a paper on Abbott and Costello in 9th grade. Ms. Jones was my first grade teacher. My favorite teacher, Ms. Carter, sneezed funny. I find farts and poop hilarious. I secretly want to be in a hurricane (but not one that's too bad). I really do love the people I work with. I tell people that my favorite color is plaid. (I just find it to be a silly question). I've never been to California, but I've been to China, Italy, and France. I smuggled chocolate w/ liquor in it into the states when I was under 21. I have a dozens of pairs of shoes, but not many go with anything. I voted for Bush, but I think he's an idiot. I can quote Dirty Dancing and The Princess Bride just about word for word. I'm Pro-Life. I can't go into Target with out spending more than I came in there for. My husband has more clothes than I do. I think the word 'noodle' is fun to say. And 'spoon' and 'box'. …there's much more but my brain hurts.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People I can laugh with without reservation.
