About Me

I am a naturally happy person though you may not know it when you first meet me. I am a reserved and quiet person when I'm not around people I know or am comfortable with. But once I open up... watch out!I am silly, funny, smart, stubborn, and lovable. Don't unload too many of your problems on me: I just might try to fix them!I have an uncanny ability to understand and empathize. I try to see the real motivation behind people's words and actions. I find this allows me to never take anything personally, though sometimes I fail at that.I could definitely be described as a homebody. Nothing makes me happier than curling up with my husband and my westie puppy, Mario, and watching a movie, TV, playing a video game, or reading. Though I do like to travel to new places, I'm definitely happiest close to home with friends and family.I prefer to have a nicely thought-out plan though I'm learning to go with the flow.I hate to cry, though I'm finally learning how important it is sometimes.I'm not interested in acquiring things: I just want to surround myself with people that I love in a home that reflects who I am and what is important to me. *********************************************************"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." -David Viscott, How to Live with Another Person"All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon sand." -Ella Wheeler Wilcox, O Magazine"What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives, acts, and experiences otherwise than we do…?" -Friedrich Nietzsche"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love." -Sophocles

Dalai Lama, Barack Obama, George W. (so I could tell him what I think of him), Crush from American Gladiators (I have a girl-crush on her), Stacy & Clinton from What Not to Wear
