MUSIC is my therapy

About Me


I've been told you either love me or hate me! I live in Banker's Hill, work downtown for a large law firm and am a self-professed live music junkie and supporter. My mom, brother and sister-in-law are are the absolute best! I am reminded every day that I am one of the luckiest people in the world because I am surrounded by beautiful and amazing friends!
I love infectious smiles, laughter, tater tots, spa days, great times with friends, silliness, Fat Tire, bear hugs, conversations that last until the morning, feather pillows, great BBQ, great smells (rain, alfalfa, eucalyptus, coffee, rosemary), people-watching, individuals with substance, hilarious stories, daydreaming, camping with restrooms in close proximity, and cheese...
The only thing that could enhance my life would be an incredible man to share it with, so send all qualified applicants my way :)
Five random things about me:
1) As a very young girl, I wanted to become a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader
2) I had 5 wisdom teeth removed in high school
3) I was almost named Jennifer
4) I came very close to joining the military after college to become a pilot
5) I baptized my dad's friend's dog in a birdbath when I was about 4 years old


I love great quotes - here are some of my favorites:
"Men always want to be a woman's first love;
women like to be a man's last romance."
Oscar Wilde
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."
~Leonardo Da Vinci
"Reality is that which, when you stop
believing in it, doesn't go away."
~Philip K. Dick
"The world is round and the place which may
seem like the end may also be the beginning."
~George Baker
"We can't solve problems by using the same
kind of thinking we used when we created them."
~Albert Einstein

Hangover Hierarchy
