About Me

My life is good. My husband pays the bills, my boss thinks I'm smart, my teachers think I have potential, and my dog thinks I'm the best thing since Iam's mini chunks. Creating this space has forced me to do some self-actualization and I have realized that I am just not very interesting. I like what everyone else in the world likes: laughter, fun, good music, and good company. I feel that you can tell a lot about a person from their shoes. I am a strong black woman trapped in a white girl's body. I am everyone else on the road's worst nightmare. I love to host parties- even though our condo holds maybe 10 people. I love to bug the bejesus out of my husband- especially when he's really tired and about to fall asleep. I love to imitate James Blunt and Shakira. I love kashi cereal and soy milk. I love riding narly waves with my brohams. I love to make senior citizens laugh. I love Sunday afternoon naps with Bootstraps (Prissy). I love April fools day (Clay is such a sucka). I love rocking in my rocker on the back porch. I love dance offs. I love rain, snow, and sunny fall days. I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!! I hate spiders, shaving, CLOWNS, bad breath, and when Gary England puts the state on 1/3 of the TV because of a WIND ADVISORY. But other than that, I'm really a fan of this crazy world we live in.

My Interests

Physical therapy, planning weddings, driving around listening to weird music and looking for estate sales on Saturdays with my hubby in search for mid-century modern furniture, playing Scrabble on rainy days, laying out with boxed wine, knitting with Shannon- even though I never actually finish the scarf, cuddling with Prissy, dancing with Lindsey, having people over for dinner- and acting like it's not crap, traveling, chardonnay, and penguins.

Books:

I read textbooks late August through May, but this summer I have found a true joy in perusing the aisles of the local library for books on how to start a small business. I'm enjoying learning how to have money work for me instead of working for money and how to build up my asset column instead of my liabilities column (see "Rich Dad Poor Dad" for more information). Clay has ruined me!!!
