This is a very long post but if you are interested in me at all it will give you some insight as to who I really am. I hope you enjoy seeing a little bit deeper into the life and times of a Dork. But hey it’s all me and I love me…well on most days except when I forget to take a shower or brush my teeth..Then it’s hard to love me much cuz I’m stinky.

Micronesia always makes me think of tiny little people in tiny little houses. probally what the "speck" in "horton hears a who" would be like.
I am working on my list like that...I had one word answers and everyone else seems to elaborate...so I guess I will go over it again before I post.

And dammit, I keep blocking the fire thing. Stop reminding me. lmaooooo
Watch my father blow up in an explosion, here his scream those death screams. Glad he's not dead. Have a heart attack every fire my husband runs into as a firefighter. Okay now I'm having a panic attack.
I'll go bang my head on the wall now.
