About Me
Some things about me. (work-in-progress)
- a SAHM to Liam, Murphy and Macey – and I love it.
- the wife of my most fabulous husband, Aaron, who is more patient with me than I ever expected.
- 30 and looking forward to this decade as one of the best of my life.
- someone who pretty much says what she thinks.
- the daughter of a recovering alcoholic and an Al-Anon. That makes me an ACOA.
- fortunate to count my sister and my mom among my close friends.
- crafty, but not artsy.
- a record keeper.
- someone with a tendency toward compulsive overeating, which in my case isn’t this bad. (More of a food medicator, really.)
- a journaler.
- the friend of a lot of people who share at least one of my neuroses. (Only the lovable ones, of course.)
- unfortunate enough not to be able to partake of caffeine – including chocolate. (But sometimes I do anyway.)
- spiritual, but not religious.
- an auntie to a niece, Emalee, and two nephews, Gabe and Ethan – I love them all dearly.
- someone who suffers from depression and SAD.
- an ex-Advertising Girl here, here, here, here, and here.
- a cousin to too many to count.
- not skilled in the ways of the web, as far as HTML, etc, but learning.
- a lover of Gerbera daisies.
- a daughter-in-law and a sister-in-law.
- If I Were Coffee: Venti, Decaf, Non-Fat, 5 Splenda Latte With A Shot Of Sugar-Free Vanilla or Hazelnut
- a list maker.
- better medicated than not.
- I don’t like to touch the bottom of lakes.
- I think asparagus is an amazing vegetable.
- I like to eat the first bite of all of the pieces of pizza.
- I wish there was a dishwasher unloading elf who lived in my house. (Laundry Elf would be nice too.)
- I don’t like to walk in the grass barefoot.
- I like to have the lid to my pen on the top of it when I’m writing. I think it’s a balance thing.
- If you take whichever pen is my current favorite, I will chase you down and get it back. I used to put my name on my pens, but now I always know who takes them.

- I love to read biographies and autobiographies. I think that’s why I love other people’s blogs.
- When cookies call to me from the freezer, I must eat them.
- I’m cool with dogs or cats. We had a dog named Bubber and a cat named Fluffy when I was a kid. Bubber commited suicide my first day of kindergarten and Fluffy got feline leukemia and had to be put to sleep. We got another dog, Suzie, but we couldn’t get another cat.
