About Me


My Space or Yours? Myspace Layouts and more at myspaceoryours.net!
I've finally found a home!! I moved from Augusta my Junior year in HS and didn't stop until I found Austin. I worked in Human Resources for most of my adult life and most recently in the corporate world. Ever seen Office Space?? That was my life...minus the brilliant scheme and fire!
I'm an at-home-mom now and loving it. This is the most rewarding and exhausting job I've ever had! My hubby is amazing and he is my eternal soul mate. I also have two step sons who keep me dancing and laughing, a daughter who keeps me smiling and in awe, a pup who is always at my side, a fabulous sister who keeps me young and a very fun and fantastic group of friends who are wonderful to me. I've also been given the gift of getting to know my other sisters, Meagan and Malori, which is very cool. Sometimes I feel like I might wake up and this is all a dream. I really could not want more out of life. Well, maybe a summer home in Jost van Dyke in the BVI near One Love Bar and Grill and a perfect body!! ;)

My Interests

My passions are family, friends, Austin live music, SXSW, Austin City Limits Musical Festival, British and US Virgin Islands, Jost van Dyke, sushi (esp. at MARU), cajun food, One Love Bar and Grill, hanging by our pool, foodie, husband chef, wine (love big reds), tequila, mexican martini, travel, Georgia Bulldogs, BoSox, Augusta, Charleston, Long Beach, Rhode Island, Boston, Knoxville, Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans, arts and craps

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet Brian Young- where in the heck are you, B.B.?!?
MySpace CountdownsWould you believe that someone sent me this quiz and this was the answer? How wild is that?!? Guess that's why I'm in the live music capital of the world!
You Are Austin
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway. "Mother Teresa
