About Me

I'm complicated but worth getting to know. I don't know where I am going, but I'm happy where I'm at, and I'd be be excited and nervous about being anywhere. I love my job. I am blessed to wake up, every day, and do exactly what I set out to do about 15 years ago. I'm blessed that I've known what I wanted to do 15 years ago. Hey, I'm an attorney with feelings. :) I'm ambitious. I'm intelligent. I'm book smart. I'm NOT street smart. I'm too trusting. I hurt easily. I am sensitive. I'm anxious, I'm stressed, I'm focused, I'm a planner, I'm random, I'm cautious, and I'm a wild card. I know no limits. I speak my mind. I'm a home body. I want a family, a caring husband, healthy children. I want the white picket fence. I have passion, but I need passion about love. I want guidance, but I hate restrictions. I can do everything, but I'm afraid to try. I DEFINITELY HAVE JUMPED out of a perfectly good airplane. I was thrilled to find that the parachute worked. Our Earth is amazing when you can step back and just look at it from afar... I believe in God, I have faith, I know love. Sometimes I doubt, but then I am caught before the long fall. Grace is amazing. I never earned it, yet it was given to me. I love music. Beautiful music captures my heart. I love justice, I believe that justice is possible, but I don't think we have justice yet. I hate poverty. I hate illnesses. I hate lack of access to medical care. I believe in personal accountability but I also believe in social responsibility. I love traveling, exploring, discovering, learning, sightseeing, extreme adventures, venturing into unknown canyons, woods, mountains, and realizing that I'm only a very small fraction of the world. I love realizing that despite my faults and my nature, I'm still significant and loved. I love seeing how awesome this Earth is. I love knowing, at least a little, how awesome its Creator is. I love life.

My Interests

traveling the world, music, tennis, religion and controversial conversations. I've been to over 24 countries/ territories!!! :) And, I can't forget- CHA!!!! I love, love, LOVE, shoe shopping, clothes shoppin...and purse shopping!!!! I think this makes me a better person.

I'd like to meet:

I just want to keep in touch with my current and old friends...

Music:

I tend to like easy-listening stuff (I know I'm old). I especially like pop-rock, popular Brazilian music, and soft rock.... I am not a fan of rap, country or head-banging rock. My little bro, DJ, is incredible at discerning my music preferences and giving me good information on new artists that I might enjoy. Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel, Elton John and Rod Stewart rock my world. I really like Jack Johnson, Switchfoot, Lifehouse, and the randomness of the Garden State soundtrack. :)

Movies:

I LOVEEEEE The Sound of Music. (It's my all-time favorite). I also love The Man With Two Brains, Star Wars III, White Oleander, Sideways, Garden State, The Interpreter, My Best Friend's Wedding, Stepmom, Angels, Matrix I, X-Men I, Kindergarden Cop, Dirty Dancing, Independence Day, Phantom of the Opera, and the list goes on and on and on... I missed a lot of the 80's movies though.

Television:

Now I'm all about Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. I used to be fanatic about sex and the City and Friends... but like most things, all good things must come to an end. And...how, HOW can I forget? I'm a sucker for Lifetime t.v.... Golden Girls, awful movies- they're my idea of what to do on a rainy afternoon.

Books:

The Bible is pretty fabulous. Then, The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Deamons. (DAN BROWN IS AWESOME). Pride and Prejudice. Whitney, My Love; The God of Small Things.

Heroes:

My big sis and my little bro: two people I can count on to stand by me through thick and thin, until we die. And God. (You know, for creating the Earth, and sending His only son....)

My view on foreign aid.

I know that what I'm about to say is controversial and that it crosses political boundaries. In other words, you will not agree or disagree with me just because you and I share or do not share politic...

They want me back

What a great feeling. Today, I got a letter from a firm I interviewed with this past week, and they asked me to set up a call back interview. Usually, call backs involve a phone call or an email...

The teens are invading "our space"

Unbeknownst to my little brother, my 13 year old little brother, I found him on my space. How scary is that? First of all, it says that he's 19 years old, because, CHA, he wouldn't be able...
