About Me

Just a bit about me........
I'm a mom of twins - they are 11 years old and the lights of my life.  I've been married to my best friend for 17 years.  I have a full time (plus) job doing something I love at my alma mater university.  I am also a part time PhD student - because I obviously don't have enough to do! 

I have a wonderful family, and parents who didn't spoil me when I was a child so they spoil me now.  I have amazing friends who are supportive of my adventures.  I love to tell stories and make people laugh, and one of my secret dreams (not so secret anymore) is to write a book.  This blog was started as a way to tell my stories and make people laugh, in a way that's not as intimidating (to me) as writing a book. 

I love watching movies, and I love reading.  I like to be "in the know" and I can keep a secret like nobody's business.  I love to eat - particularly sweets.  My capacity to eat large amounts of sugar and not be sick is legendary.  I absolutely hate to sweat.  (This combined with my love of eating has resulted in about 20 pounds that I'd rather not have.)  I like the idea of being a runner, but not the reality. 

I am a lover of low maintenance things - landscaping, clothes, fingernails, makeup, friends.  I don't collect things, but I love to collect knowledge.  I have never taken a college credit anywhere but my current university.  I bleed the school colors.  I love watching football.  I love music, but can't play a lick or carry a tune.  I never talk about God or politics in polite company.  I really just want us all to get along, and have a laugh or two while we are doing it.
