Sometimes I do it...because I can

You used to be into all this girl stuff. Stealing, boning, blowing shit up, and now you're like this

About Me

found this girls layout at HOT FreeLayouts.comHmmmm- About just me: I'm pretty chill and fun to be around- occasionally people call me a spaz.... I'm active and am currently training for my first triathalon. This summer I'm planning on riding my 6th Seattle to Portland Bike Ride and in between now and then I'm slated to run several 5k and 10k runs. I used to be a fairly wild one (disguised in a low key package)but now I'm just wild at heart except on girls night out. Oh- and I talk too much.About me and my family: I'm married to an amazing man and we just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary. We have 2 children- Maceon, 4y (Mason)and Isabella, who is 1. I love being a mom- but I'm still in total denial and it's still strange when I tell people I have children- probably because I don't feel quite "growed up" myself. We have 2 dogs- Dozer and Clyde. Didn't think we could find a dumber dog than Dozer, but we did. Both are very loving and loyal and great entertainment. We also have 2 cats and well- one fetches and one spends his time hunting down warm places to sleep and/or people to pet him.About work: I work and I love where I work :)

My Interests

First and foremost- playing and spending time with my kids. After that- Volleyball,Pilates, biking, running, swimming, singing in the shower and sexy shoes- Not necessarily in this order either.

I'd like to meet:

People I know...People I don't know but might find amusing. Kevin Smith- he responded to an email of mine one time, we call pacifiers "BOB" in our house to pay homage to Silent Bob...Love that guy!RedvsBlue funnies

Music:

Everything except country....Wrangler butts do not drive me nuts- but they do make me laugh.Shout out to Genevieve and the Diesel Trukkers and Tyler Bueneman who needs to find a band again!! Awesome local talent! Bueneman drops a CD on August 25th...long overdue!!! I get to add a new band- "Hard Money Saints" not for the faint of heart for several reasons....

Movies:

Anything that is not a kid flick(just kidding)...ALL Kevin Smith movies (yes, even Jersey Girl), Tank Girl, Strangebrew(did you know that this movie is really Shakespeare's Hamlet? I wrote a paper on that for a Shakespeare class in Highschool and the teacher made me prove it so we watched Strangebrew in class...SWEET!!!), Blazing Saddles, Police Academy, GO!, Anything Quentin Tarentino, Con Air...Con Air? Con Shit....:)

Television:

"CSI" and "CSI Miami" are the best shows ever...I watch them on tv as well as on DVD...I thought if we had another boy we should name him Warrick. I also like "2 & 1/2 Men," "How I Met Your Mother," "Viva Pinata," and reruns of "That 70s Show"...You know what a funny word is? Pickleweasle

Books:

"Another Roadside Attraction" and "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" by Tom Robbins (I'm named after the Amanda in Another Roadside Attraction);"Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Hamlet" as well as other Shakespeare works; "Night" by Elie Wiesel; The Kay Scarpetta books by Patricia Cornwell; "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs"; " SkippyJon Jones" about a siamese kitten who thinks he's a chihuahua superhero names "Friskito Skippito"- comic GOLD!!! I love to read and I love reading to my kids- it's one of the best things about parenting

Heroes:

My parents without a doubt! My cousin Shauna- it's because of people like her that our generation might actually make a difference and she's just a beautiful person.Gilda Radner, Christopher Reeves, Michael J. Fox...anyone who faces a major life altering moment/dilemma and makes the world a better place because of it. Also- parents with more than 2 children- you deserve an award or should be committed.Bill Gates for doing amazingly positive things to improve the world.and of course Kevin Smith for making the world a funnier place...
