I'm 31 years old. I eloped two years ago on a whim---ended up being married to a wonderful guy whom I love more than anything or anybody. A little part of my soul died the day I lost my mother (who I think about everyday).I have the greatest cat in the world named Dizzy and a hip, hip chihuahua named Malibu. I've been told that I'm naive, and told that I'm a cynic. I can't cook and have a chewing gum addiction. Monster movies scare me far less than a dark human heart. Puppies melt my heart and babies remind me of the purity of the human soul. I like margaritas and love key lime pie. Palm trees excite me, the sea calms me and my dream is to someday live on a houseboat. To others, I live an ordinary life but to me, it is extraordinary. Rock it.

Family, friendships, music, manicures, Prada, the color pink, the color black, film noir, gossip rags, anything Kitschy, anything vintage, autumn, a pint of Strongbow with friends, puppies, kittens, diamonds, my husbands brown eyes, nature, walking along wooded trails, collecting seashells, perusing libraries (the older, the better), mimosas at brunch, all things geeky, watching documentaries, egyptology, archeaology, ancient cultures, reading, making lists, baking cookies, decorating cupcakes, learning to cook, interior decorating, re-finishing/re-storing old furniture, writing, making collages, leaving random Post-It notes, chasing geckos, watching scary movies, history, any and all arts (particularly painting, pottery, stain glass), palm trees, the ocean, finding my inner chi and living a zen life.
