I love to travel, try new foods (both simple and "exotic"), ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. Im a big pop culture junkie who isnt afraid to say she loves "In Touch" Magazine! A social marketing expert and psychologist by training who works in the public health field trying to bring a little common sense to it all.

Cheers

He closed his eyes and sighed Powerless to change the course I clicked my heels but didn’t disappear He went off instead into the netherworld I cried Stripped my pride There was no stride He was gentle and small The fuzziest cheese curd Nothing but love Why […]
I just won’t watch Titanic, ok? Ever since February of this past year, I have been watching bad movie upon bad movie. I have been staying up late as I am addicted to corny, cheesy, bad film. However, I have to say I draw the proverbial line at […]
