I am here for Friends

About Me

Exhausted mother to a beautiful boy and new baby girl. Anal-retentive and compulsive, but am having to let go of some of this due to having two kids under the age of 2 (!). Think my son has inherited my Loud Gene. Constantly searching for a good book to read,and once I find one I tend to read the end first. Can never, ever find my keys. Hope to one day be able to finish a sentence without losing my train of thought, but people tell me this is a permanent condition caused by parenthood.

My Interests

Reading, useless information, music, expanding my horizons, my kids, and ridding the world of horrible grammar and punctuation.

I'd like to meet:

Stephen King, the Beastie Boys, and anybody else than can have an intelligent conversation.


Music:

Beastie Boys, David Gray, Edwin McCain, Radiohead, Tom Petty, Stevie Wonder, Massive Attack, Jeff Buckley, Jonny Lang, 7 Mary Three, Alice in Chains, Johnny Cash, Foo Fighters, Audioslave, Queens of The Stone Age, Cake, Candlebox, Run DMC, The Cult, STP, Gnarls Barkley, Depeche Mode, The Cure...

Movies:

Love 'em.
moar funny pictures

Television:

House, Law & Order, Cops, and just about anything on A&E or the History Channel.

Books:

Stephen King, Jeffrey Deaver, Carol Goodman, John Irving, Alice Walker, Greg Iles, George RR Martin (c'mon with the new one already, man), Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Isabel Allende, Wally Lamb, Richard Russo. I also believe in saying no to romance novels.

Heroes:

Mom.

(Non) Words I Despise

I'm the kind of person that has to bite her tongue - hard - not to correct other people when they use incorrect grammar. Not just people I know either; I've had to resist an overwhelming urge to corre...

The Kite Runner

5 months and growing

Rowan had his five-month check-up (and two shots) today - despite the fact that he has a yucky cold.  He only cried for about 10 seconds after the shots; I can't believe what a little man he is.&...
