About Me

I'm getting old. I like to knit, cook, cross-stitch, and watch movies. My days of all-nighters are over. Give me a ball of yarn and I'll knit all night. Give me a glass of wine and I'll fall asleep. What has New Jersey done to me?
I have an overwhelming fear of feet...they gross me out. Please cover them up when you're around me. I like to jam myself into small spaces (boxes, cabinets...whatever) and take pictures of it. I've been called a camera nazi. I'm a hopeless romantic with dreams of marriage and children...but no white picket fence. I like to burst out in random song and dance (The Little Mermaid seems to come out the most). I have a really bad sense of direction; in life and on the road. I've been known to make rash decisions based on my mood for that moment in time. I pass out when I see my blood. I can burp really loudly. I consider myself a light-hearted person. I live to love and laugh; not to go to school and work. I'm a hard worker, but in the end it's who you are and not what you do that counts. I'm a clutz. I always put the subtitles on when I watch a movie. I wish there were subtitles for life. It would make things a lot clearer. A pause button would be nice when you just need a break, a rewind button for replaying the best parts in life, and a fast forward for the not so great parts. At the moment, the play button is all I need. I'm enjoying my life exactly the way it is. :)

Defending New Orleans

I'm aware that most of my blogs pertain to New Orleans somehow, but I just had to vent about this particular discussion I had with a customer last night. I thought him to be a fairly nice man be...

Im dreaming of a grey slushy Christmas

Well, winter's just started and Jersey has already filled my snow quota. Seriously, we had our own personal ice skating rink outside for about a week. Our driveway was a block of ice but it has just...

Death on Somerville Circle

After 6 months of living in this state, I finally got a Jersey license and plates. The lady at the DMV said she had to keep my Louisiana license which I reluctantly reliquished. I felt like I was be...

The gumbo fiasco

Lastnight I went to a pot luck dinner at Chris's boss's house. He asked me to make gumbo. I was a little apprehensive cause I've never made gumbo or anything for that matter for a large gr...

Jersey

So far, so good. I dont understand all of the negative criticism about Jersey. Before moving here I pictured industrial power plants and pollution. That's not the case at all, atleas...
