About me

Gender Female
Industry Non-Profit
Location Vestavia Hills, AL
Introduction I'm a 32 year old girl (because I don't feel old enough to say woman and hate the word 'lady') living in Birmingham, Alabama. I love my husband, my daughter, our dogs, and I am looking forward to our new addition: a baby, arriving in the spring of 2013!

My focus is to make sure my daughter grows up well-rounded, well-adjusted, smart, and wholesome (i.e., not headed for slutty-dom), while I continue to work hard, play hard, and give myself a hard time when I do neither.

My mother thinks I care too much about my pansy pit bull, Cassie, who is anything but a pansy. But owning and loving her has created a passion in me for shelter dogs and specifically the misconceptions and judgment surrounding pit bulls and their owners. My husband brought an English bulldog with him to our family, strangely but aptly named Mr. Pickles.

I like a soapbox. I will try to be honest here despite the probability that I will likely embarrass myself (or at least my sister) at some point.
