About Me

When I grow-up, I'm going to teach Middle School. I'm always working on my writing, usually in an academic setting but I can't deny that MySpace keeps my typing speed up, in the meantime. I'm a Mama with a 5 and 1/2 year old son.I like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain. I (as a matter of fact) AM into Yoga - if out of practice. Many of the other lyrics are true but I grow weary of transcription.I love making friends who like to go on long walks or bike rides. I am currently blessed by a bounty of amazing friends. Never in my life have I been friends with so many cool people. This presents troubling hypothesis, needless to say I am in the right place at the right time.
