About Me

..
To my lil' Baby Gift Business
I'm a drama queen, no really...I have the degree to prove it. I love the Theatre. I write. I'm not much for syntax and such editorial nonsense, but I do love expressing myself through writing. I also have a passion for the arts in general. My latest pursuit is in Plus Size Modeling! I love showing that curves can be classy, sexy and appealing. Beauty comes in all sizes and I have a grand time being a part of a movement for realistic portrayal of women in the media. I find it exciting and an excellent new medium for me to perform! There is something so energizing about finding beauty and life in all things. Beyond all of the artsy fartsy stuff I'm pretty well rounded and easy going. I like going to movies and concerts whenever I can. I'm now trying to ease out of new-mommy-mode and back to normality a bit, because my whole world revolves around my baby. But it's ok because he's absolutely adorable! i've started up my own little business which I'm trying to get off the ground. The crafty side of it is spectacular, I'm still trying to teach myself to be business minded. I just like the fun decorating parts so much more than accounting and what have you. I like most sports, which is good because my husband is a sports junkie. I like to learn. How geeky is that? I miss being in school because I always felt like I was accomplishing something. I used to be super hyper and always needing to DO something, and now I've mellowed out a lot. I'm a homebody. It's bizarre. I'm trying to learn to be domesticated and cook and all of that stuff that has never been fun to me...slowly but surely it's starting to grow on me. For now, I'm definitely satisfied spending time at home with the family. There's nothing more sweet to me than watching John and Kaleb fall asleep on the couch...like father, like son! It's adorable to see Kaleb growing so quickly and picking up new things everyday. What can I say? I'm easy to please! I just like to take it a day at a time and enjoy the ride.

Actors Do It On Stage. Techies Do It In The Dark. It's A Theatre Thing!

My Interests

Plus size Modeling, Photography, Theatre, Music, Writing, Dancing, Design, Art, Crafts, Bargain-hunting, and most Sports have grown on me. Beyond that it's mostly all about Family. I love spending time with my husband and son.

I'd like to meet:

I enjoy meeting people who amuse me. Dance monkey dance!

Music:

Jack Johnson, Dashboard Confessional, Ben Harper, Rascal Flatts, The Ataris, Our Lady Peace, Vendetta Red, Sugarcult, Greenwheel, The Fray, Adam Pascal, Hoobastank, Story of the Year, Weezer, Stroke 9, Alanis Morisette, Destiny's Child, Toby Keith, Bob Marley, Wyclef Jean, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, Josh Groban, Coldplay, Fatboy slim, Moby, Nsync, MXPX, Daughtry, 3 Doors Down, Eve 6, One Republic, Sara Bareilles, The Pixies, Plain White Tees, Third Eye Blind, Matchbox 20, Dave Matthews Band....I could really go on forever, I have the weirdest taste in music. I like a ton of different genres--but I'm very picky about what I like. If that makes sense.

Movies:

American History X, Rent, Empire Records, American Beauty, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Tarzan and Finding Nemo. Yup. I'm bizarre.

Television:

The Late Late with Craig Ferguson, The Ellen Degeneres Show, Law and Order(s), CSI(s), Grey's Anatomy, Third Watch, Cold Case Files, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men and LOST.

Books:

I was an English Minor with an emphasis in Literature...so I've read a lot of the classics and I enjoy them. It's so much more fun when there's not a test, or a paper to write when you're finished. Reading for pleasure is an entirely different experience!I read a lot of the big sellers. I'm a sheep. Bah. But I'm entertained!

Heroes:

Superman. And lots of everyday average people, who'd never even know that anyone is taking note of their actions.

MacGuyver I am NOT.

What started as simple game of hide and seek managed to turn itself into a call to duty for "Ninja Mommy." How does an innocent child's game end up in panic and drama? The key player is one precociou...
