About me

Gender Female
Location New Jersey, United States
Introduction I've always been known for my sense of humor, and I love my kids...I truly do. But sometimes, just SOMETIMES, they almost drive me to the brink of insanity. So in pure tongue in cheek modality, I've decided to make good on a thought I had about a funny line of kids' books, entitled 'Mommy Drinks Because You...(insert verb here)', and created this space for my ramblings. In actuality, I am a self-proclaimed financial nerd, and proud of it. I live in South Jersey, close enough to Philadelphia to appease my love of the city but still affording me a backyard and 'smallish town living', with my husband and two daughters.
Interests I love being outdoors, especially in my garden or at the beach. Spending time at the beach is what I consider 'my element', so I am fortunate that I live within an hour of the ocean. On a stressful day, I can feel my shoulders drop the minute I cross the causeway and smell that sea air. It's bliss.
Favorite Movies I love watching movies and prefer that when I have the time over prime time TV any day. Among my favorites are Working Girl, most anything by John Hughes, Elf, most anything by Wes Andersen, and my guilty pleasure...Steven Seagal movies. Hey, at least I admit it...
Favorite Music I am told I have the most eclectic tastes in music, and I believe it. I have a soft spot for speed and death metal, but I also really enjoy indie and alternative, and classical and jazz. My family is very musical, going back generations, so for me, music is a part of my soul. Having to choose a favorite type would be nearly impossible.
Favorite Books I can't read enough. As eclectic as my musical tastes are, my reading selections tend to be as random. My favorite types of books tend to be collections of short stories, or character studies. Among my personal recent favorites are: "One Day", David Nicholls "Day for Night", Frederick Reiken "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo", Stieg Larsson
