It's October...Halloween is coming!

About Me

I am a Marketing Researcher in Roswell, GA. I grew up in Grafton, MA, moved to Georgia right before starting high school. I went to the University of Tennessee and was a Lady Vol rower for the first 2 years and had an amazingly fun/normal/not waking up at 5 am final 2 years.

I bought my first place, a condo in Sandy Springs, so that is exciting! I live with one of my favorite people, have a great job, make a mean Jello shot and have lovely friends...life is pretty darn good right now, knock on wood!

......

My Interests

I am one of the biggest bargain shoppers ever. I love to go to concerts - especially outdoor ones, make up new recipes, watch movies and crappy reality tv shows, go out dancing, drive with the top down and chill with friends over a few drinks (Bloody Mary is my poison lately) on a patio. I also have an addiction to Mexican food and sushi.

I'd like to meet:

Friends from back in the day, although technically that isn't meeting, more re-kindling. Cool people in ATL. Perhaps a guy that knows how to use a telephone, but that may be asking too much...
Myspace Countdown or Myspace Layouts

Music:

Guster, Barenaked Ladies, ABBA, Jump Little Children, Jewel, Simon and Garfunkle, Beck, Angie Aparo, Dixie Chicks, Violent Femmes, Tom Jones (don't judge me)

Movies:

Tommy Boy, Cruel Intentions, Labrynth, Clue, Office Space, Dick, Dogma, Bridget Jones' Diary, Shawshank Redemption, Clueless, Rent, The Fugitive, Garden State, Muppets Take Manhattan

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, LOST, The Office, Scrubs, Arrested Development, Best Week Ever, The Soup, Amazing Race, American Idol, Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, Girls Next Door...I told you too many crappy reality tv shows...

Books:

Harry Potter, Al Franken, Best Case Scenario Handbook, Dr. Seuss' Star Belly Sneetches, Bridget Jones' Diary.I am also a huge magazine reader and subscribe to Cosmo, Glamour, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Premiere & Jane.

Heroes:

My sister is my best friend and super smart, she just got her Doctorate in genetics.

Ooh, Barracuda! Part 2

Next stop was Jamaica!  Love Jamaica.  The 5 "kids" went river tubing, which involved a 45 minute drive to the start.  We were lucky enough to get our own taxi while the rest of th...

Oooh, Barracuda! Part 1

I got back from my cruise weeks ago but was waiting on pictures to post a blog, not that I got that many great ones since I was relying on a disposable camera, a water-proof camera and a mother that ...

Denver is lovely (at least way better than Akron, no?)

I just got back last night from the beautiful state of Colorado. I was visiting my favorite person (Tracey) for what could be my last time before she and her husband move to the lovely state of Ohio. ...
