I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a happy-go-lucky person with a scarily optimistic view of people and life in general. I think I'm tied with Ingé for who is the queen of randomness. I truely believe that everyone should travel. I'll try anything once. I'm goofy and kind of a geek, dork, whatever. I love Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Rainbow Bright, 80s rock and anything that Monty Python ever did. I teach science and art. I like the country more than the city and being outside more that being in. I should have been born in the 70s because I have a hippy style mentality: peace, love and all that jazz. I like piña coladas, but I haven't been caught in the rain lately. My friends and family mean the world to me. Give me a good conversation over a party just about any day of the week, although I do like to go dancing. On top of all that my husband and I just got a golden retriever puppy who we've named Lilu! Yay!

My Interests

Teaching my students about conservation and green living. Reading whatever I can get my hands on. Cooking when there's time. Spending time with my hubby. Traveling to the far reaches of the globe. Hanging out with my friends. Visiting my family when there's time. Hitting a good concert when I can. Taking a little me time every now and again.

I'd like to meet:
