About me: ABOUT ME:
4th generation Masshole, right down to my block - lived in Boston for years - then moved to Austin, TX in 2002. Married. Have 2 boys. Retired Texas Rollergirl (Hot Wheels 2002-2005). Hausfrau until I can go back to school. Pop culture junkie and 80's movie/music trivia master - craft goon - bee charmer - distinguisher of smells - proud hag - private dancer - record collector. I've done a lot of things in my life, deejay and dog groomer being two of them. Always looking for something new to add to the list.
A little known fact about me: I provided the backing vocals to MC Hammer's "Too Legit To Quit". Oh yeah, I also like to lie.

You are "simply" adorable! What does it take though, to...oh! Nevermind! Thanks for reading the article. A bit wordy, I know, but I gots me opinions. It garnered me some hateful e-mails but tell me, do I look worried? I write this from lovely Hawaii, by da way. I haven't been in a substantal piece of clothing since Saturday. But again, do I look worried? How's that handsome family of yours? I do hope everyone is well and in good spirits. As for you? I guess I hope you're well. Tee hee!
