Let’s see. What might someone want to know about me.
I am married to my best friend and the most wonderful husband ever! His name is Chuck. We recently moved to a house we LOVE in Rosemount, Minnesota and are the proud parents of a wonderful little girl.
We are busy people. I am a tad bit lazy by nature, but thankfully Chuck doesn’t sit still well and keeps us active. We do projects around the house (he’s VERY handy), take trips, bike ride, swim, go on walks, rollerblade, boat, jet ski, downhill ski, play hockey (more him than me, but I’m learning), play broomball, play softball (we were too busy and didn’t get on a team this year), and a multitude of other things. Life’s too short to sit around…I am learning that and learning to enjoy the activities more and more!
I used to work as a legal assistant at an Intellectual Property law firm. I am sure most of you have no idea what that is. They work on patents and trademarks. There are some really creative people out there!
Currently, I am staying home with Maddy and enjoying every minute of it. She keeps me on my toes and it is definitely the hardest and most rewarding job ever!
I went back to school for a couple semesters to try my hand at Computer Science. It didn’t go as well as I had hoped. So now I have to decide what I want to be when I grow up. 
I had a craft business for a while (cards, jewelry…my dad was my best customer), but I didn’t care for the part where I had to promote myself to make money. So now it has returned to being my hobby…which I haven’t had time for in a while. I do still maintain another craft site called CraftsOnAWhim.com. I go in spurts with my posting depending on the time I have had to create new things!
I am trying to read more books and watch less tv. I think my mind turns into vegetable mush some nights when I get lost in shows for hours.
I keep a blog because I want to “journal” things. I am glad to have readers, but I do this for me. If you don’t like the content…wait until tomorrow. You might like it then. I tend to be quite random about what I posted here. But I suppose that is because I am a very random person!
I think Twitter is useless and awesome at the same time. I love useless information about people’s lives!
I am short! Only 4′ 10″. I have been known to find some creative ways to get things I need that are up high and I fit well in small places…i.e. under sinks!
When I meet new people, I like to try to find them on the Internet (i.e. Facebook) and learn all about them! I’m not a crazy stalker….I’m just curious. 
I like hanging out in smaller groups opposed to larger ones. Does this make me an introvert for not enjoying large groups? Or an extrovert for liking to hang out with people in general?
I would consider myself a homebody. Nothing is better than being at home with Chuck and Maddy.
My hubby works for Microsoft. He works with some of the most interesting and smartest people I know.
I love Star Trek and did name a pet after one of the characters.
I don’t like to clean. But don’t seem to hate it as much as I used to in the new house. I am sure that will pass when the house is no longer “new”!
I love going to the zoo. I should really be put on one of those leash things some parents attach to their children to keep them from running off.
There are only a handful of people I would call my best friends. I have many friends, but the best ones are precious to me.
I have two younger brothers. One is 4 1/2 years younger than me and the other is 17 years younger.
I like to cook, or at least I think I do. I love looking at cookbooks and magazines and can’t get enough of cooking shows. But…see next paragraph.
I get incredibly nervous to try new things, but I am working to get over that fear. It’s quite debilitating at times and frankly no fun. I am mostly afraid to fail. And failing is ok. You learn from it and grow. So it isn’t all bad!
I am a recovering pessimist. At least that’s what I call myself. I have very pessimistic tendencies, but I don’t want that to define who I am. So I am working being more positive. Life is good and I want to live that way every day.
I am happy to answer more questions if you have any. I am sure I will get inundated with spam, but if you want to contact me, you are more than welcome to do so HERE. As things change in life, I will update this or add more tidbits as I realize them!
