It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.

About Me

This is going to be REALLY random. I believe that wearing shoes is HIGHLY overrated (although I am totally addicted to shoe shopping). My favorite color is clear, I like clouds, playing pool, jazz music, playing the guitar, singing, the smell of rain, the peacefulness of 5:00 a.m., I like the smell of libraries and old buildings. I love old people, puppies, and the ability to go to sleep every night knowing that I have done what I could do to make another persons day better.I love sleeping late on Sundays with my husband. I like scary movies, video games, photography, studying paranormal phenomenon, reading, laughing until my sides hurt and my eyes are watering, a really good vodka tonic with 2 limes, the way my husband pulls me close to him when he thinks I'm sleeping, snuggling into that place between Ted's neck and shoulders,cooking for friends, seeing Ted smile when I walk in a room, Ted's laugh, the thought that one day we will be parents, watching football with Ted, pineapple milkshakes, and the thought of having someone in my life that knows me better than I know myself.I like dancing, being the center of attention, dirty jokes, seeing old friends, smelling Ted's cologne on him after he's worked all day, accomplishing what others said I wouldn't be able to and making people laugh.
