I live for the following: Me, you, your mom, and my pets; kissing in the rain, drinking coffee until I’m nauseous, swimming, reading, watching endless hours of Sex & the City in my bathrobe while Edward is at work, Farrah lies by my feet and Stella and Dash curl up on my stomach, contradicting everything I do and say! NY Times Crossword and any other in between, endless games of Scrabble and Scattegories, PS2 and Myst! I love peanut butter and jelly, Mordatella and aged provolone, Kobe beef and veal! Strawberry milk, orange juice and sugar-free tang! Pizza, cheeseburgers, and soybeans! Fine Napa wine to a jug of Vino Di Casa! Guinness, Chimay, La Chouffe, St. Sixtus, Sapporro, Magic Hat # 9 and Fat Angel, Yuengling lager, black and tan, and Lord Chesterfield ale! Ice cold Dirty Martinis, sweet Manhattans, Cosmopolitans and Sake! Dry vermouth on the rocks before dinner and a fine Porto or Dry sherry after the meal. Shots of Jameson and Tullamore Dew and of course: BAILEYS IS GREATEST BEVERAGE OF ALL TIME! ONE SHOULD DRINK BAILEYS WITH ALL MEALS AND HAVE 2-3 SIPS IN BETWEEN AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY! BAILEYS IS A SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE BEVERAGE THAT MIRRORS CHOCOLATE MILK, SO EVEN WITH AN IRISH WHISKEY BASE IT IS STILL GOOD FOR YOU! NO ONE SHOULD EVER JUDGE YOU FOR MEETING A FRIEND FOR BREAKFAST ON A THURSDAY MORNING AND PULLING OUT BAILEYS MINIS FROM YOUR PURSE…YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE THAT IT EVEN TASTES GOOD POURED OVER SAID PANCAKE BREAKFAST!
I also enjoy collecting rocks, cyber stalking, smothering Edward in his sleep, motorcycle rides, hula hoops, fire…FiRe…FIRE…dancing to the beat of a different drum…especially around a fire…traveling, camping at Brushwood…and then really camping, sleeping outside, that chill that runs through your body when you’re tired and sleepy, when Edward smooshes me to warm me from that chill, shooting stuff, dreaming of foreign countries and pink and white hippos, sushi, sashimi and traditional Japanese food, anything raw, including beef, mud sliding, riding tricycles, fishnet stockings, tights tights tights, zip lining, tap dancing (even though I don’t know how), telling bad jokes, hugging my nephew and making him giggle, hosting a party, being the party, kissing Edward, being mauled by dog kisses, my iMac, old pictures, sharp memories, falling only to get up over and over again…I’ll see what else comes up later…but for now, just a few of my favorite things!
I'd like to meet:
If I could resurrect Buckminster Fuller, Dorothy Parker, Katherine Hepburn for a coffee clatch, I'm sure that Kurt Vonnegut would come as well! The Dalai Lama as well, I meditated with him once but didn't actually meet him. Thomas Jane can knock on my door ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!...Ahhh Yeah!

You Are a Classic Martini
You area sophisticated drinker, who knows that simple quality is over-rated.
You're a knowledgeable drunk, but sometimes you're a know-it-all when you're blasted.
You should never: Drink and gossip. You tend to forget who's standing right behind you!
Your ideal party: Has a real bartender. But no one mixes a better drink than you.
Your drinking soulmates: those with a Chocolate Martini personality
Your drinking rivals: those with a Margarita Martini personality
What Flavor Martini Are You?
