About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Occupation English Teacher
Location Midwest, United States
Introduction I am a thirty something mother, wife, teacher, creator, and observer. I pride myself on being open-minded, though I have been called idealistic many a time. I also pride myself on hoarding knowledge. I'll never know and do everything, but I want to know and do as much as possible while I'm here. These are my ramblings. Enjoy!

All of the phone numbers have fallen out of your address book. Whose number do you look for first and why?

My sister's. She's the only one who really "knows" me. We share parents, multi-ethnicity, and stories. Enough said.
