About Me I love living in the city with the best friends one could hope for. I'm in graduate school for Special Education and babysit full time. I'm madly in love with my two dogs, Fletcher, a shepherd-lab mix, and Greta, a mini-dachshund.

I believe in... Hope

I'm all about... Family, friends and school.

I live for... the weekends and sleeping in.

Music Any and all, i'm easy to please.

Movies Everyone makes fun of me b/c I've seen very few movies... apparently I live under a rock.

TV Lost, Project Runway, Grey's Anatomy, Dateline, MSNBC Investigates, Intervention (when my friends let me watch it), and Girls Next Door (but only on Sundays when I'm laying in bed wishing the weekend wasn't over).

Likes Family, friends, animals, making money, dogs, grooming horses (and riding when I have time), working out, especially yoga, cycling, I LOVE sleeping in, diet coke, cuddling (but not when I'm trying to sleep), text messaging, falling in love, popsicles, reading, made-up scavenger hunts, honey-wheat pretzels, swimming, napping, popcorn, watching hockey, sweat pants, being outside, driving with the windows down and the music loud, being at the lake in WI on the boat, jet-skis or snow mobiles, hot tea at night, taking baths when I'm cold, taking cold showers in the morning, laughing with friends and drinking wine till I'm silly.

It's better than a crack addiction I suppose...

I can't stop playing guitar hero! I "tried it out" on friday night and continued playing after getting home from the bars until 3 IN THE MORNING! I continued to play Saturday until my wrists hurt and yesterday my roommate and I bought another guitar and rented the 80's encore. In the checkout line at Blockbuster, the adorable guy next to us was renting movies and buying ice cream claiming it was "just one of those days" while the two of us ladies were itching to find out what great songs were on the 80's version. Talk about a role reversal! I dreamed about it and every rock song I hear is translated into guitar hero chords in my mind. Also I come down with typical only-child syndrome when I play: I don't want to share and get PISSED when I make mistakes. This can't be healthy (but I'm sure I will be shredding the instant I get home from work). help?
