About Me

Hi I'm Amber.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrswaves/
I like things that are good.
I recently found that I highly enjoy leaving a note on your car if you park badly. Don't get upset, just think of it as useful tips for life in general.
In June 2007 we opened New York J&P Pizza in Urbana, MD. Just living my dream. Well, working the dream really. Come visit!
I like movie scenes where people go extreme shopping &/or get makeovers.
Shiny, newly painted nails rock my world. Especially my own.
I've been tattooed in Japan (Chopstick Tattoo), Tahiti(Marama Olsen) & of course the good ol' US of A (Full Color Coverage in Annapolis & Classic Electric in Frederick).. I'd like to get work done in Hawaii & again in Tahiti when we go back.
been a home owner since age 19. Pretty proud of that actually.
I am highly observant.. I tend to notice things most people don't, I also have extra good hearing (to perhaps balance out my shitty eyesight) So shut up if you're telling a secret.
I'm multilingual. I'm always interested in learning new customs and languages. (nope, never been in the military I just like to go places! People always ask since "I've been around"..)
7 year itch? No way!.. going on 8 years here people! ...I'm married to my greatest friend with benefits, Todd. He's a total maniac, but in the best possible way.


We're not in any hurry to have kids (so don't ask!). Right now, our restaurant, travel, buying a new house & just plain being together is top on our list.
Green Kitchen represent.
I'm a collector... Foreign money, old money, chinese cookie fortunes, photo booth pictures,OPI nail polishes, sharpie markers (I'm in love with the mini's)& the list goes on.

I have a mouth that rivals a sailor. Not just his wife, but the sailor himself. I say a lot of bad words even in non-stressful situations. That's just how I roll.
I love bags, purses, whatever you want to call em. I just love them.
I also love makeup, I use Mac stuff. I also like Nars, Smashbox, Stila, Shu & some others.
My family is a cross between the Osbournes and The Sopranos & they rock.
I love living in my town. I've lived here all my life. I wouldn't change that. My family all live within 11 miles of each other. I think that's pretty cool.
I love to shop. In stores, online .. in another country.. anywhere. You could say "I'm a spender".
I really enjoy sleeping late, but don't do it that often anymore. ..I can't wait until I'm older and don't "need" as much sleep. That will make things easier.
We have 5, yes FIVE cute kitties, Peach, Mario, Ramona, Daisy & Oliver. Yes they are on MySpace, because we're a hip computer friendly familia. I love cats a lot, in case having 5 makes you think I only slightly like cats, that's not true, I LOVE them. But then again, I love all animals. Mostly cats though! I support the Anne Arundel SPCA, the ASPCA, The Frederick Humane Society & HART.
Seeing the world is my plan.. working on it ...
Where will our next adventure be?
You're Marilyn Monroe!
