Introduction I'm a 30-something writer, mother to preschooler Alexander and almost-toddler Lila Shea, and wife to a sportswriter from the Bronx. We own two cars, a satellite dish, and a zero lot in the Corn Belt. It's your basic American Dream.
Interests Ice cream, sleep, my son, my daughter, my husband (in that order, OK I'm kidding, just a little) writing, conversation, expensive coffee drinks, sushi, movie theater popcorn, eating out, hidden picture games in Highlights magazine, shopping, reality TV, nature walks, Googling, and blogging of course.
Favorite Movies Annie Hall, The Way We Were, She's Having a Baby, E.T., Breakfast Club, The Commitments, Welcome to the Dollhouse, When Harry Met Sally, Dumb & Dumber (I can't help myself), Karate Kid, this is a really hard category
Favorite Music Folk, blues, jazz, bluegrass, Tori Amos, U2, Sarah MacLachlan, Bon Jovi (yea, so what?), Neil Diamond, Elvis, and Barry Manilow (he totally writes the songs)
Favorite Books World According to Garp, A Prayer for Owen Meany, The Lovely Bones, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Animal Dreams, Pride & Prejudice, A Child is Born
