About me

Introduction I could watch The Office daily. I do drink Starbucks every morning. Decaf. I'm high strung as it is. I love a good laugh. I always love free time with my husband. I can't stand flowers on an occassion that Hallmark has marked "special." I thought college was an incredible experience. I could seriously be a student forever as I love learning about any and everything. If I could, I think I would study History, Philosophy, Political Science and Psychology on top of my English degree. I could honestly ramble on and on about people like Melville, Thoreau, Chopin and Hemmingway. They were awesome and had their funny moments. I Love NC and plan to live on Topsail Island one day. I Have lived in NC my whole life which makes me one of the dwindling few. I have two boys who are maniacs though amazing. They give me the desire to succeed. I'll never give up on my dreams and one day they will do whatever they want in life. I can't stand the idea of either one of them not trying for something that seems unachievable. Robert Frost really had it right. At least for me anyway.
Interests Writing, reading, gardening, finding a great deal while shopping, sometimes painting, decorating, and playing with my kids.
Favorite Movies When Harry Met Sally, Napoleon Dynamite, Something's Gotta Give, The Goonies, Sixteen Candles, Elf, Garden State, Waiting for Guffman, all of the Harry Potter movies, Weird Science, Arthur, and maybe Super Bad. Okay. Yes, I think Super Bad is hilarious. Oh, I am now also a huge fan of The Hangover.
Favorite Music I have so many faves. I can go from James Taylor to Guns N Roses in one click. Right now, I'm loving Matt Nathanson and I hate to say it, Lady Ga Ga. I pretty much always throw a Dave song in the mix.
Favorite Books The Awakening, Emma, Charms for the Easy Life, Raney, The Secret Life of Bees, All the King's Men, Wuthering Heights, Signs of Spring, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Catcher in the Rye, and many more.
