About Me

ste
I moved to a small town in 2006 where people thrive on knowing everybody's business and kindred spirits are as hard to find as a good haircut. I am married to a man who, despite his tall and skinny frame, shows me a love so big that keeps on growing. Our daughter was born in January 2009 and our "Little Man" joined us the first day of April 2011. Being called Mommy makes my skin crawl - I much prefer Mama or Mum. Constantly hoping Sweet One won't wake up too early, we are learning what each day with two kids is all about. I love coffee and going to matinees. I watch too much tv. I've been told that I "think too much" and so with my heart on my sleeve, I come to this page hoping to clear my head and make sense of myself, this place and my life.

5. Swim with dolphins
6. Learn to bake cheesecake - well.
7. Learn to bake tasty pies.
8. Go to New York
9. See a Broadway Show
10. See Kristen Chenoweth Live

14. Go to Crate and Barrel - not just online, an actual store.
15. If I'm going to continue living in the states, I'd like to live somewhere that has a Trader Joe's. With wine. Because in this state they don't have wine.
