The best meals are with my most cherished ones and last hours. And usually involve some alcohol. Or

About Me


First and foremost: I LOVE TO EAT. In nearly every case, if you put it in front of me and it's food, I'll eat it. I love it when I lose weight because that means I can eat more food in the proceeding days (I realize it's not a healthy habit). I used to enjoy outeating and outdrinking boys, but I gained so much weight that I'm trying to curb my enthusiasm for such nonsense. I play/joke/tease a lot, and usually, it's at your expense. Whatever it takes to make me laugh, it's all good. Just kidding! But not really. I'm an elementary school teacher. I can't stand it when people get "you're" and "your" mixed up. YOUR is possessive. YOU'RE=YOU ARE. Same thing with "its" and "it's." ITS is possessive. IT'S=IT IS. And lastly, I'd like to address the words "their," "there," and "they're." THEIR is possessive. THERE refers to location. THEY'RE=THEY ARE. Other than that, I think I can put up with a lot. I love to really laugh, the kind that comes from the gut, but it's kinda hard to get me to do that even though I find many things humorous. I have a pretty quirky and unique sense of humor....and I love dry wit and sarcasm, which explains my gay-crush on David Sedaris.
