About Me

I am a 24 year old, blue eyed, porcelin white wife to one of a pair of identical twins and the mother of a 2 year old little ball of energy named Leacadia Ezra... all together now: Lee-ah-kay-dee-ah Ezra... very good, who is also porcelin white.
I live smack dab in the middle of Texas.
I am putting the children of the sunscreen makers thru college at this point.
I met the love of my life in college doing a side project outside of school that only included the two of us (randomly chosen by the professor) and the professor who started the project.
I married my soul mate, Nathan, on September 4th, 2004 (it was almost 90 degrees that day).
I gave birth (VERY quickly) to a perfect little Lea on February 9th, 2005.
I quite my shift manager position at McDonald's in June 2005 to move to Texas for Nathan's work.
I now understand very well that 90 degrees really isn't that bad.
I have been poked by a cactus only once (and no, I didn't sit/fall on it, I just had to see if it would really hurt... yes, it does).
I am part of the Everquest online community as Iyer Oom, a lvl 72 magician with an extremly fast horse (that I had to work very hard for).
I am still trying to quite smoking, have been moderatly successful, and aim to get it comepletly out of my life for good.
I miss my family and friends, sometimes more than others, mainly my sisters and Jenn.
I absolutely love it when Krissy comes down to visit, it's so much fun doing Texan things with her... Blue Bell really does want her back you know.
I clean my house everyday, something I never thought I would ever do (that's the kind of thing MOMS do!)
I get a kick out of sucking up the spiders in my house with the dust buster.
I like to drive around and take neat pictures of things that make me think of Texas (trees, lizards, cacti, etc.)
I like to watch/listen to Nathan play the guitar.
I like to watch Lea draw multi-colored tiger stripes on Nathan's back with crayons when he sleeps in too long on the weekends.
I don't like cleaning tuna fish, tomato sauce, oatmeal, etc. out of/off of Lea's ears, the walls, carpet, etc.
I like burning candles to make my house smell pretty.
I like it when Nathan brings home a new CD of some band I've never heard of and blares it during dinner (j/k about the blaring part, I don't like that).
I like barbequing in shorts and flip flops on New Year's Day.
I watch Food Network, my favorite guy on there is Alton Brown, and Iron Chef America is neat too.
I love having such a huge family now, I have two new older brothers both with wives, two more sets of parents, three sets of grandparents, and more aunts, uncles, and cousins than u can shake a stick at.
My daughter and I were able to see and touch the ocean for the very first time together and it was one of the most touching experiences of my life.
I love being motherly corny.
I love being a mom.
I love being Nathan's wife.
I love being me.

My Interests

Lea, Nathan, EQ, the computer, my friends & family back home, animals (especially guinea pigs), Rocky Road Blue Bell ice cream (it's the best), anything blue, blush wine, driving & singing, ice cold lemonade, having my feet rubbed (it's where I keep all of my stress), watching Lea sleep, getting a manicure and/or pedicure (especially with a good friend), really wild thunder & lightening storms, looking at pics of my friends & family, showering & singing, watching a concert at Stubb's, playing badminton, running down the Riverwalk, killing poisonous snakes, playing with my hair (when I have time), counting and saying the ABC's with Lea, doing dishes & singing, coffee, CEREAL, looking at nail polishes, have a great conversation with a friend, taking pics of Texas, reading Lea's video fan mail, having a clean house (if only for an hour), watching good movies with Nathan, finger painting in ketchup or bbq sauce to get Lea to eat, did I mention singing?


I'd like to meet:

I don't think there's anyone in particular I'd really like to meet, but if I had the chance I'd like to see my dad again. I'd like to sit and talk with him and see if he likes the fact I named my daughter after his mother... I'm sure he would, I'd just like to hear it, or anything at all, from him.

Music:

I've had a love affair with good ole rock 'n roll for a long time. I do have some favorites, but I like anything with good guitar and a beat you can dance to. Our Lady Peace, Better Than Ezra, The Killers, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, A Perfect Circle, Ben Folds, Moby, Coldplay, Radiohead, The Muse, Cake, Garbage, Alanis Morissette, Lit, Metallica, Green Day, The White Stripes... and too many more to list. But that'll give you an idea.

Movies:

I'm a big fan of lawyer movies like A Time To Kill, Erin Brockavich, even Legally Blonde, ha ha. Anything that shows you a story of injustice and brings it to light in the eyes of the law. I don't understand why, I just like them... weird. I also enjoy a good adventure flick like the Goonies and the Disney animations are great also.

Television:

I love Food Network. Good Eats, Iron Chef (original was better), Emeril Live, Unwrapped, $40 A Day, Paula's Home Cooking, the Food Network competitions, pretty much anything on there is good. I also watch the local 24 hour news channel to make sure there's STILL no rain in the forecast (I'm rarely disappointed), and the People's Court. That's about it.

Books:

I have read all Stephen King's books, my favorites being the Gunslinger series (my fav books of all time), I love the Harry Potter series, and have even gotten into the Dragonlance series (only the originals by Weis & Hickman). I like books that take you on a long journey and reward your hard work walking alongside the characters.

Heroes:

My parents for doing such a good job at such a difficult task (raising us three little wild girls), my husband for helping me so much every day (even when he's tired coming home from work), my daughter for having the courage to try new things, and everyone back home for millions of reasons too numerous to list here, but you all know why.
