About Me

32 Year old Single mom of two great kids in the O'Fallon, MO area. I'm laid back, I enjoy life, I love to travel when I have the time, going out with friends and enjoying some beer or other cocktails... always a good time. However, being a parent is first and foremost on my list of priorities. My kids (Hi Natalie and Evan!) are my everything... They are really the ones responsible for making me the person I am. I never want to be without them, their laughter, their hugs and kisses, their dreams~~

Yes, I have a few tattoos (stragegically placed) and my belly is pierced. Yes I realize that I'll be an old grandma one day with tattoos on my back, and that's fine and dandy with me. To anyone afraid of it hurting... don't be a pansy, just get it done, you know you want to. I think if done right, they are quite sexy. Just my two cents. Take it or leave it.

I read a quote once that said something along the lines of "Famous Women in History didn't end up where they were by following the rules and doing the "right" thing all the time." I couldn't agree more, and so I tend to live my life pushing the proverbial envelope. So much for comfort zones. Take a risk, take a chance, live with no regrets.

In regards to my career, I love what I do and I really enjoy most of the people I'm surronded by 5 days at week at the office. I have found that over the past few months, I've put more and more time into my job, and it seems to be paying off. Becoming more career focused is has been good for me thus far, and I can only hope that it continues to bring good results. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to work, and lean towards being an "over-achiever". But at least we have fun at what we do. Not a bad thing is it?

My Interests

Click Here to get this from FreeFlashToys.com!

Anything outdoors, spending time with friends, family, kids. Cardinal Baseball is a must.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who can make me laugh, smile and enjoy the little things. I like to have fun, be spontaneous and take whatever may come my way. When I'm not in "mommy" mode, I try not to take things too seriously, and I'm looking for those who can do the same... I have a wild streak in me as well and it takes just the right person to make it come out!! So if you think you're that person, all I can say is "bring it on!"

Music:

I've got a little bit of everything in my musical catalog. Well versed to say the least. No, I'm not going to list them all. If you really want to know them all, you'll have to hi-jack my iPod or just take my word for it. Really, do you actually think that I think you'll sit here and read through every band or artist that I post? I think not.

Movies:

Again, the same goes for movies that went for music... lots and lots that I enjoy, but I'm not about to type them all out for your reading pleasure.

Television:

Addicted to Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Makeover Home Edition,Vanished, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Laguna Beach. I'm a confessed Reality TV addict as well as a Food TV and HGTV junkie. Sad to some yes, but it keeps me happy ok, so deal with it. Besides that, I'll watch almost anything... and yes that includes sports.

Books:

DaVinci Code, Secret Life of Bees, The Notebook, Angels and Demons, The Amber Room, To Kill a Mockingbird.Children's books galore... I don't know that the whole list would fit on here.

Heroes:

Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Captain America, Inspector Gadget... oh you mean real people heroes! HA...Ok then in that case it would be my parents, no doubt about it... and for various reasons. Too many to go into, but I owe them so much.

Please give me patience

For three years now I've tried very, very hard to be the bigger person, the one to do the right thing, the one who avoided the conflict unless it seriously impacted the kids. I can't do it anymo...

Common Courtesy Anyone?

I have no idea what this world has come to now a days, but it gets under my skin more and more when people don't have common courtesy. Whether it be returning a phone call, saying Thank You, hol...

Upper GIs are not pleasant

So today I had an Upper GI test done. Not the most awful experience in the world, but not one I would suggest you go run out and volunteer for either. They've determined (and I've got some pictu...

New Tattoo...

Thinking of getting one final tattoo on the back of my neck. Something small, hidden by my hair 90% of the time. However, I am really stumped as to what to get. I've got a few ideas ...

Long Time Since I've blogged...

Nothing special here, just sort of a catch up since I haven't blogged in an eternity, or so it seems. Natalie, my precious baby girl turned 7 on Sunday. Yes, I feel very old. You can see a...
