| Introduction | I'm a Jersey girl from the central part of the state, the fourth of five children and a New York City dweller by choice. I'm really nosy, but I think this is okay because I'm also into full disclosure when it comes to myself. I'm married to an Irishman, a bar owner and an amateur photographer who is the oldest of six children, and we take several trips a year to Co. Carlow to visit our family there. I haven't seen my real hair color, other than in root form, in years, and I have an extensive Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star sneaker collection. I work for myself out of our apartment, often laying on the couch with my laptop propped on my knees. My husband and I got engaged at the Taj Mahal in India, we were married in Ireland and we honeymooned in Tanzania and Kenya, where we saw safari sights that simply can't be described. I've always wanted to be a true bohemian, but I have a compulsion to carry too much practical stuff in my purse to truly aspire to that dream. So now my goal in life is to reach the height of mediocracy ... I don't aim for fame. |
