I'm not funny.

About Me

Mike and I got engaged on Thanksgiving, Im having fun planning our wedding for next fall!

"We are all of us living in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." and "You have to laugh, because you would cry your eyes out if you didn't." are my life's mantras. I try to see the glass as half full. Im not your average high maintenance girl. Im laid back, politically incorrect, political and opinionated.

Im fun, hilarious and know how to have a good time. Im a social butterfly and I dont want to let life pass me by while sitting in front of the tv (unless Lost is on!). Not to say I cant relax when the time is right. I love to read and learn, listen to music, go to shows, and get creative in my extra-curricular activities. It's never boring around me!

My Interests

I love music, my garden, cooking -I love it when I can make something straight out of my garden - no store! I recently made a huge batch of blackberry jam, pesto and marinara - call me domestic! Wine, wine and more wine, I have been getting into geneology (is that supposed to be saved for old people?), film (watching and creating), photography, reading, bikeriding, camping, backpacking, hiking, travel, and adventure! I love to learn. I love crossword puzzles (call me a nerd). My ideal rainy day is a film festival or an art museum, my favorite sunny day is a hike, kayaking or camping then sitting back with some friends watching the sunset while drinking a PBR and playing Trivial Pursuit....Ill kick your ass!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who loves to learn, try new things, adventure and who appreciates my "quirky" side! Hopefully you have a quirky side too!
