- About Me:
- If I asked my friends to describe me I would hope they'd say I was a good friend above all else. If I had to describe myself I would say smart, funny, goofy, sexy, and down to earth. I love romantic comedies and I love to believe in "the fairytale." I believe people should be good to each other and should take care of each other. I guess that's the social worker in me. I am passionate about my job and love being a school social worker. I work at a school for pregnant and parenting teens and it truly has been one of my dream jobs. Working to prevent child abuse and neglect is important to me. I think society has a role in helping those less fortunate. I have been so blessed in my life and, other than asking for someone to share it with, could not ask for anything more. If I had another career I think I would choose marine biologist or professional photographer. I love science and the Discovery Channel and photography. I can be really adventurous or a huge coward. The last 3 years have been a very long journey and it seems like the journey hasn't ended. I am always trying to be a better person and sometimes it is more of a struggle than others. My life is full of irony and I enjoy every minute of it even when I'm complaining. I am absolutely thankful for my girlfriends and I couldn't imagine my life without them.It seems like I can't stay in one place too long, but I am hoping to find the place that nourishes my soul. I am looking for something...I'm just not sure what. "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Oh alcohol...sweet elixer of the gods...
Why do I continue to drink thee?
I need to take some medication prescribed by my doctor for 7 days. I cannot drink while I take this. I cannot come up with 7 days in which I can go without alcohol. It is always someones birthday, or a happy hour, or something.
Alcoholic? Perhaps.

All you need is love
or so the song goes...And I guess that is true, but what if the thought of beginning a relationship fills you with anxiety and dread. How do you get over that overwhelming, all consuming, panic inducing fear of being in a relationship?
I am NOT one of those people who have never been in a relationship. I've been in PLENTY of relationships...unfortunately most of them have not really been what I'd call healthy relationships. I have even been married. Yes, I know it's shocking. And my ma…

Hard day's work
I earned my dollars today. I'm a school social worker and I love my students, but sometimes their drama and their issues drain me. Added to the trauma some of my friends are experiencing and my day ended in tears...my tears.
I don't understand sometimes the things parents do to their children. How can you commit to having a child and then not do everything in your power to protect that child, to love that child intead of causing the child harm? Some people shouldn't have children.…
