I like all kinds of music...from hip hop to country to jazz and blues. I'm a total top 40's girl and love anything I can sing along with or dance to.

Heroes
Women who made it possible for me to have a career, vote and enjoy the luxuries in life I have today. My mom and dad, for being the most selfless and loving parents.
About me: I've lived in Houston nearly 2 years now, after about 5 years living out of state in Washington DC and Salt Lake City. I now produce the 5am newscast at the CBS affiliate here in H-town, and I love my job! I grew up in the tiny town of Mason, Texas; I had a great childhood there but I'm definitely a city girl. I'm married to the most amazing man who treats me like the princess I am! He is definitely the cheese to my macaroni!
I'm a romantic and an idealist and I tend to be optimistic about life. I read anything I can get my hands on. I'm also a fiercely loyal friend. I can't stand hypocrisy or negativity. I have a weakness for baked goods and chocolate (a major sweet tooth!). Trying new brews and wines is one of my favorite hobbies. I absolutely adore traveling (especially to Spanish-speaking countries) and my most recent trips include Peru (Machu Picchu, baby!), Argentina and Uruguay.
So, I'm going to Big Bend tomorrow, and I keep getting this mental image of that blue shirt you used to have and the irony of it that we all used to giggle about. ;o) I love you, woman!
Do you have any plans for 1/20? I got one of those MoveOn emails and was thinking about hosting a party at my house, but I'm not really sure. I kinda wanna do something fun that evening with like-minded people, though, and of course you're the first one that came to mind.
I hope you had a Merry Christmas, and I probably won't talk to you before I leave, so HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
