I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

My hair has been every color of the rainbow, it changes every few months. However, lucky for my hair, I do believe I have settled on red.I think Sugarpop is the best (he's my husband.) I am a cook which means I drink far too much, and my arms are a horrific mess of scars from burning them.I read cook books for fun, this makes me a nerd.Ever had a vat of duck fat dumped on you? I have. I swear like a trucker, I can't help myself. I come from a long line of truckers.A sundress can be a girls best friend, so can frilly knickers. I also believe that a woman wearing mens tighty whities and a wife beater on a woman is one of the hottest things ever.When I wake up I am hideous. Children really annoy me (except my neices and nephew.)I like decorating my house far too much to be normal. Things like light fixtures and artworks make me dizzy and delighted.I make a killer martini, so good you would lick my feet.I like the winter only because I can wear a stocking cap all the time and not have to do my hair.I love my family to bits and miss them alot.I could eat my weight in steak, foie, grilled cheese, deep dish pizza, mashed potatoes and crab legs.Create or get your
