I work in the shoe department at JCPenney. I do well in my job and have even picked up the nifty party trick of accurately guessing shoe sizes, but it's not something I'd like to turn into a career.
My husband Ty and I are both aspiring writers. Besides our own personal projects, we're currently working together with my brother Matt to write a horror screenplay about zombies. We plan to sell it to the first interested person and then repeat the cycle of write/market/sell until we can all quit our customer service day jobs.
This year Ty and I have started saving money for a two-month UK/European adventure in 2009 (hopefully...if the saving goes as planned). We'd like to tour all of England, Scotland, and Ireland with smaller stops in Amsterdam, Prague, Rome, and Venice. So for all of you people that interact with me in "real life", if you see me buying stupid stuff feel free to remind me that the scope of my '09 Adventure hinges on whether or not I can be frugal for the next two years!
Now that Ty and I have been married for a few months it seems to be a widely held opinion that we should start having kids. This was, in fact, my reason for planning the '09 Adventure. Though we're taking every conceivable (no pun intended) precaution there's no solid guarantee for how long we can continue to dodge the baby bullet. It's my firm belief that there should be "Europe before babies" since if there are "babies before Europe" there will be no more Europe. (My friend Danielle assures me that even if we have babies before Europe it will still be there carrying on without us. I dispute this. I'm so serious about this trip that if babies before Europe occurred I'm pretty confident that Europe would simply cease to be. Don't ask me how...chalk it up to a weird Quantum Physics thing.)
I do realize that at this point my '09 Adventure is just a dream, but it's really the only thing that gets me through the monotony of the JCPenney Shoe Department. Well, that and my idea to make a mockumentary about Hutterites. Yeah, it's gonna be awesome...

You Belong in Dublin
Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions.
You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town. What European City Do You Belong In?
