About me

Location United States
Introduction I've been happily married for 24 years..to the same man. Go figure. We live a quiet life in a quiet house on a quiet street in Anytown, USA. I'm not very well versed in the whole computer thang which makes me and my best friend, Beets a couple of dinosaurs at work. Each year we can feel our arms getting smaller like the T-rexes we are becoming. Pretty soon we won't be able to reach the faders or feed ourselves. Aaaarrgh.. so.....hungry.... In spite of all that, I enjoy an active life (social or otherwise) in the 'Burgh. I still don't like Primanti's sandwiches though. Come. Visit.
Interests at this point in my life my main interest is hanging with my hubby and good friends, sharing cocktails, fabulous food and colorful yarns--kinda like when I was in my 20s only with better quality hooch, plus, kayaking, rowing, learning to play steel drums, reading, watching the Daily Show/Colbert Report (the funniest hour of TV), listening, acquiring and sharing music, shoes, singing really loudly into my hairbrush, showering, vacationing, Italy, shoes, lunch with the girls (this includes you, Todd), gardening, shoes, movies, Chuck (gotta love a show which uses Cake as opening music!), and lastly...shoes
