about me
Well, first and foremost, I am a very strong, exceptionally passionate and highly territorial person. I have an extremely full life. I work very hard, I play very hard and I love to the extreme. I am very direct and quite bold. Some people don't like the idea of a woman who speaks her mind. Unfortunately for those people, if I have something to say then I'm going to say it. To hell with sensibility. (You know what I mean ladies?) I have an offbeat sense of humor. (Geez, you're kidding) I am of the opinion that if you can't laugh at the faults of others, you have to face your own and well, they aren't so funny.

Words I live by: "Life is too short to drink cheap wine, unless you are in the company of good friends and that's all they have on hand."

Favorite quote: "The easiest way to resist temptation is to yield to it", penned by Oscar Wilde, adhered to by me (well, under the influence of a great deal of alcohol anyway)

My Blog

I am currently fraught with raging passion. Time is my enemy. Every second without you is like someone twisting a knife in my stomach. I burn for you, ache for your touch. I feel as if our souls have merged and when I am not with you, I must find you and put things right. It's like a puzzle that's missing a single piece. I'm missing something, something is wrong, something is not right.

I find myself often feeling wistful, melancholy. I cried today. It's even worse when I know yo... read more

For the first three people who respond and repost this challenge, I will send you something. It might be something I've made (ohhh to be so lucky!), or something from my stash o' booty, a special surprise, a book, a cd or whatever comes to mind when I think of you . Whatever it is, I promise that I will get it to you in 30 days or less. That is as long as I can find you! (hint hint)

The only thing you need to do in order to participate is to be one of the first three to reply to this, AND... read more

Heavenly Father,

Help us remember that the jerk who cut us off in traffic last night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing home to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few precious moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man who can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting his student l... read more

Look no further than the picture above for where my heart has been found wandering of late.

The impending cold of winter doesn't seem quite so intimidating any longer.

Ok, I'm not a boastful person by any means, but I feel the need to broadcast.

In January of this year I weighed over 190 lbs and was wearing a size 18.

Yesterday, I bought a pair of pants - size 6 !!!!!

I don't remember ever being this small, except for my pre-teen years.

I'm f*cking thrilled. :)

This is where I will write my life story

How did I get here....

and can someone draw me a map back home?

This year was my first trip to Pennsic (XXXV)...and I must say, I was enraptured, overwhelmed, intoxicated (<--yeah, that) and delighted (all at one time - and hey, that doesn't happen too often - lol)!

That's how I ended up on tribe --- looking for more photos of Pennsic and hopefully some more contacts for next year...

Believe it or not, I recognized a number of people on here after my short-lived 4-day visit to Pennsic. Whether or not they remember me, well, that remains to be seen... (yeah, probably not...lol)

Honestly, I had no idea (everyone says that, but it's true) how big this was and how much I would love it. Anyone out there feel me on this? Yeah, I know you do.

Anyway, until next JULY, I remain mundanely yours....

Through the Looking Glass

This pic was taken last fall. I was standing outside the cafeteria at the Baltimore Aquarium and the photo was taken by my son Jordan- through the looking glass <lol> Wicked.
