About Me

Our baby Wesley
Face it... you sing too when you're driving in the car. Only I would be crazy enough to put a camera on the dashboard and tape it
DASHBOARD ROCK!
Jokers: An Adventure in Food
(in crap-ass quality because youtube won't let me upload anything bigger!)
I look better on myspace
I want to be the one who walks into the room and sparks a sense of confusion. I want to disrupt whatever is going on, and throw a wrench in the everyday monotonous flow. I'm the kind of person who likes it when I'm not gotten... so if you don't get me, good.
I'm totally opposed to anyone who blames their irresponsibility on any one other than themselves.
I am not impressed by drug use or users. (Unless, of course it's "Synth Coke")
I am not impressed with people who claim to be open minded, because usually those are the same people who refuse to listen to a view point that is different from their own.
I have NO guilty pleasures, just pleasures.
I love my friends and family, so much, too much... but I prefer solitude.
Here's some stuff I like:
music, kitties, singing karaoke, drawing, roller skating, scoping out garbage houses, Galaga, sewing, wasting time on myspace, making jewelry, cooking, all sorts of art, taking long bubble baths, playing our antique upright piano, figuring out how to play my favorite songs, make-up, taking pictures, cheap pilsner (Pabst, Old Milwaukee, Grain Belt, etc.), hanging with my Dad, The State Fair, American Idol, graphic design, tattoos, talk radio, playing the guitar, dying my hair assorted colors, being married, all you can eat, living in Iowa, shopping, painting little pictures on my fingernails, reading horrible gossip rags, crocheting, reading in general, being the person that I am, without apologies or regrets!
I've been married to Chuck since February of 2000,
and we have been together since July of 1997.
I LOVE him, oh dang!!!

Chuck always has something interesting to say,
and his blog is proof of that.
He's a talented writer, musician, computer guy, and husband!
He makes me giddy, even after 10 years!!!

The coffee cup proves it... he IS the "#1 Husband"!!!

Phillip Williams
1979-2007
A very dear friend of mine passed
away in January of 2007. I will miss him and love him forever.
Rest in peace, Esoteric. You have 94% Iowa in you!

Wow! You're almost all Iowa.
No wonder you're such a likeable person.
Isn't it great being so close
to the greatest state in the country!
Do you have Iowa in you?


I like taking personality quizzes and all...
but they only tend to prove how much of an ass I am.
Your Birthdate: June 22
You tend to be understated and under appreciated.
You have a hidden force to do amazing things, doing them your own way.
People may see you as strange and shy, but they know little.
Your unconventional ways have more power than they (and even you) know.
Your strength: Standing up for what you know is true
Your weakness: You tend to be picky and rigid
Your power color: Silver
Your power symbol: Square

Your power month: April What Does Your Birth Date Mean? Silver/Square... like pyramid studs!
(what's with all these red x boxes? Where did my pictures go?)<"border= 0"> <"MySpace"/>
Here's a quiz I made:
Counties in Iowa
1) Which of these is not a county in Iowa?
Guthrie
Ida
Arlo
Wayne

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



I'd like to meet some folks I'd like to get to know again.
Myspace is great for that.
So far I've found several people I've lost contact with,
for which I am very thankful.

Create your own visitor map!

I notice a lot of folks from far off lands visiting my page. If you happen upon my little piece of the internet, why not send me a note?

The Best Day of Wesley's Life (so far)

I don't know what's gotten into my little guy. He's been just as cheerful as can be, all day. It's almost 5:00 PM, and he's barely cried. He actually laughed today. Earlier this week, he was so ...

The Death and LIFE of Wesley Hoffman

This past weekend, we almost lost our son. Actually, we did lose him... for a few minutes. If it weren't for the heroic efforts of two nursing students who just happened to be in the right place, at...

I Like My Hair (and that's saying a lot!)

For years, I've had such bad luck finding a hairstylist.  Maybe it stems from my thrifty nature.  Okay, I admit it... I'm downright cheap.  I never paid more than $20.00 for a hair cut, and since my M...

Healthy Choices for a Mom-To-Be

Over the past 8 months, I've found myself feeling down on myself for some of the choices I've made during my pregnancy.  Eating an entire tray of Rice-Crispy treats in two days isn't really the p...
