Introduction I am a 29 year-old single girl struggling to figure out just where in the heck I fit in the world, and trying to find humor in my consistent failure to do so. At my side is Gus, the dachshund mix that is the light of my life. My days are spent in the hallowed halls of a Nationwide insurance agency. Sundays are spent at Unity Baptist church, where I teach 'my girls', ages 6-12, and where I fuel my desire to live for Christ and die to self. I love coffee, red wine, and spicy nacho Doritos. And let's see, what else... oh, just read my blog already. It'll tell you everything you ever (or never) wanted to know about my madcap life!
Interests Music, movies, MySpace, coffee, politics, literature, theology, sleeping, baseball (Go YANKEES!), COLLEGE football (ROLL TIDE!), pizza, philanthropy, the list goes on and on... oh, yeah, and let's not forget long walks on the beach!

Well, maybe they don't need them, but don't you think that some fish might like a bicycle?

If I were a fish, I would want a bicycle. As a human I totally want one. With a basket and a bell. I don't see why I would feel differently as a sea-dweller. But that's just me...
