My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"There are people that simply stop in and then there are those that stay for a drink. Those that refill their glass even when they aren't thirsty, are those that matter the most."

GIRL WITH A PEN

"Armed with ink, powered by rice and threatening to run with scissors."

ABOUT ME: I'm a WAHM. I am a Freelance Writer, a Blogger, and I make a mean PB&J on wheat.I'm a Lightning fan, a wine-holding chick-flick lover, and I value friendships more than life itself; even old dried up ones that should only be reconstituted slowly to prevent implosion and/or explosion; neither of which are pretty.I'm addicted to handbags and anything that organizes smaller things into bigger things, and if you give me a label I'll get quite giddy. Give me the actual label machine, or a printer and sticky paper, and I might even give you my Godiva . Um...did I just say that? Uh...don't hold me to it.My background is in Interior Design. I can design a room and add Interior Design flair better than an award-winning Metrosexual. After all, I did work for one once. Ok, almost better. Most recently I've become interested in Green Building and design that utilizes preservation of natural resources. Plant a tree. Just sayin'.I'm an Asian that has no clue what moo shu really is, a borderline diabetic that adores sticky rice, and a cheese lover that suffers from lactose intolerance. You do the math... 'Cause really that's not my forte' either.

Writing/Blogging | Interior Design | Technology | Photography

MOTIVATED MONDAYS - A load of mashed potatoes???

No. I didn't fall off the face of the earth. I might have tripped walking up the front steps this morning but I'm still here; slightly injured with my pen intact. Again, I am sorry for the "out of i...

Im looney. God love me.

As you can tell (my dear fellow bloggers), I've been slacking (as you are missing comments). I'm not a slacker by nature, it's not in my blood, but it's happening...slowly happening (perhaps I ran ou...

MOTIVATED MONDAYS - Airing Out My Laundry

A man’s best friend should be more than a...potato.

My mind has been muddled for the past few weeks. I fear it is a result of the full pot of rice that was made on Tuesday. Tuesday, the day Jeff went out of town and scored me a future southern drawl....

You know you’re a stressed-out Mom when your 3-year-old tells you to get a wrap!

Life as a WAHM can be exhausting. There are no formal meetings to attend or harassing clients holding on line 2, but just like every other job it can be trying. Given the fact that my boss is a 3 fo...

Theyre bringing sexy back...and stupid.

If you haven’t heard the "breaking news" you must have already had the accident. You know, the blown eardrum from listening to your music too loudly as a kid. This is a warning to those who ha...
