Make it work.

About Me

Well let's see. Grew up with my mom in Ames, IA, and graduated from AHS in 2001--on my 18th birthday! My mom and I stopped getting along so well, so I went to college in Nebraska. Kicked its ass in May of 2005 and moved to Kansas City, and now I'm married to a fantabulous man, Andrew, who treats me like a queen but puts me in my place most of the time. He hates it when I want a kiss in public, but I'm working on that. I eat oatmeal for breakfast every morning at work because I don't have time to eat at home and I drink a LOT of coffee--probably too much for my own good. I recently re-discovered my love for stuffed animals after I found my beloved Beary Bear (I wasn't very creative with names). Ice cream is my weakness--any kind, anywhere, just the mention of it makes my sweet tooth ache. I love fun, am fun, and only like fun people. After being away for so long, I miss all the people from back home so if anyone wants to reminisce about old times, you just let me know and I'll buy you a beer...or 2, but none of that Bud Light shit--it's gotta be REAL beer. My pirate name is: Dirty Bess Kidd You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr! Get your own pirate name from fidius.org.

My Interests

Shopping, cooking, drinking, dancing, movies, coffee, traveling overseas, working out, Yoga, Nebraska football, well, college football in general, sewing, paper stuff (I made my own wedding invitations), and of course, gossip--especially from pinkisthenewblog.com!

I'd like to meet:

Tom Cruise so I can punch him in is big nose. And Trent of pinkisthenewblog.com fame because I <3 him.

Music:

Journey, Incubus, Atmosphere, Guns 'n Roses, Norah Jones, Jack Johnson, anything else 80s, Dave Matthews Band, Gorillaz

Movies:

Empire Records, 12 Monkeys,Monsters, Inc., Walk the Line, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Napoleon Dynamite, most sappy lovey movies. As a PSA to you all, don't ever watch "Confessions of a Trick Baby" It's horrid.

Television:

LOST, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, E.R., Deadliest Catch, My Name is Earl, the Office, What Not to Wear, I Love Lucy reruns, How I Met Your Mother...hey, I work in media, I have to watch TV.

Books:

Last book read for pleasure: The Da Vinci Code; my favorite author is and will always be Roald Dahl. I just realized I need to start reading more than just Us Weekly and People. Next on the list, Angels and Demons and The Devil Wears Prada. I've also read the entire Laura Ingalls Wilder series at least 4 times.

Heroes:

I guess I'd say my mom because she raised me pretty much by herself, and still went to school and got her bachelors when I was 7 and masters when I was 10. She's given me opportunity upon opportunity to see the world and enjoy it for what it is and not take as much advantage of it. She works really hard and plays even harder most of the time, but most of all, she cares a lot about her family and friends and knowing she'll always be there for me is such a comfort.

Stuck in a sucky job

So, my job basically blows.  It has its good days--when I'm busy doing a bunch of different stuff.  But most days consist of doing boring, tedious, monotonous, crappy, stupid bullshit. ...
