All About Me. me, Me, me ME ME me!

It all happened on a blustery day in 1982, when my mother birthed me. I was an angelic infant who grew to be an angelic child.....

Strike that. But I was born in 1982, in the Valley of the Sun. I'm the third of six children. I was obviously the favorite....

I love the desert heat, and should the temperature ever drop below 85, I require a sweater and 2 jackets. Also, there is an unspoken rule that when it rains, you must run outside and jump in no less than 3 puddles....

I grew up in Mesa and am proud to say that I actually did graduate high school despite my tendency to go to the lake and Jack in the Box. I will admit to some of the hi-jinks I may or may not have pulled as soon as the statute of limitations has run out....

I also did the whole beauty school routine, but you can save your beauty school drop out jokes for someone who cares.

I moved out when I was 18 and had myself a damn good time. I liked to change roommates because well, I just liked to. So I moved in with a boy-crazed gal who didn't ever actually talk to boys. She sent me instead. Eventually she made me talk to the DadGuy on her behalf (sidenote, I'm a totally AWESOME friend)

The first time I met him, I told him I loved him, mostly because he speaks Russian, and that's the only thing I knew how to say. He was blown away by my charm, wit, and beauty and promptly fell in serious love.

So we got married.

Fast Forward to now. I have four kids, and a house, and I live on the completely opposite side of the country.... Holy hell, I think I'm a grown up.

I'm too young for this.
