What if I don't want a headline?

About Me

I'm not responsible enough to chew gum in public without popping it and cracking it and blowing bubbles like an annoying teenager, so I have to throw it away when I leave the house. I also care a great deal for ice cream. And I'm responsible enough to eat it in public.

My Interests

I'm interested to see if I can make myself like to bake just through persistence. I'm also interested in hiking, running, getting better at running, knitting, scrapbooking, sewing, cooking, and playing with our puppy Izzy.

I'd like to meet:

Somebody for Nate and I to hang out with since I'm no longer in school and don't have a bunch of acquaintances by default.

Music:

Visqueen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ani, Beck, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Modest Mouse, Coldplay, And since I've been informed that people actually read these lists, I'll continue. Johnny Cash, Nora Jones, Bluegrass, The Flaming Lips, my little brother singing the White Stripes Doorbell song, and Nate singing church songs from when he was a little kid.

Movies:

Fiddler on the Roof and movies with cars racing around...Gone in 60 seconds type stuff.

Television:

Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy...I feel they're the most uplifting way to end my Sunday. And Scrubs.

Books:

100 Years of Solitude(Before stupid Oprah said to read it) And, magazines...because grad school decreased my attention span.

Heroes:

My dad, my mom...and the long line of strong (arguably stubborn) women in my family that came before me.

My Blog

Stupid groundhog...you get back out here and bring Spring with you.

Now that I don't work on Fridays I put all this pressure on myself to make the most of Friday. I should be cleaning the entire house, running errands, and doing all of the fun things that I don't hav...

You know that song, "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas?" Nate was singing that song this afternoon as we wandered around the crowded grocery store watching people stock up on emergency supplies and we fil...

Mini Updates

I am becoming a better swimmer. Nate is teaching me so that I can swim to exercise and someday do a triathlon. Already I am better at not swimming at a 45 degree angle, turning my head to the left s...

My dog = the best.

This is my dog Izzy.     She is a brilliant and well behaved dog.  But she wasn't just born that way.  Nope...I have the help of an excellent dog trainer.  Here he is.&n...
