| Introduction | I've been known to quote famous movie lines at random, stare at the sky for hours, and complete my ATM transactions in Spanish although I only speak English. On my last birthday, I wished on my candles (29 of them, again) that the delicious Etsy community was a neighborhood where I could physically live. I am a pathological Googler and a coupon whore. I have a strong desire to become a Gilmore Girl and a strange tendency to sit in my car with a hair dryer pointing out of the window just to see how many people slow down. Since seeing the film Ghost, I have always wanted to dabble in pottery, of course the appeal could really be that I just want to play in clay with Patrick Swayze, God rest his beautiful soul. I struggle with the impulse to dance through a store instead of walk and out of sheer instinct I will break out into the Carlton dance whenever Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual" comes across the airwaves, no matter where I am, so I hope it never becomes a church hymn, though I'm not above dancing with a pulpit. More simply put, I love to live. |
