This is me...
I live close to St. Louis. I used to be a Research Biologist but quit my job to raise kids and--FINALLY--pursue my lifelong dream of writing.
Blah, blah, blah. That's the boring stuff.
Here are the things to know if you really want to know ME:
1. I'm a compulsive list-maker.
2. I'm from a small town in Missouri. Really small. Remember that town in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" Yeah, like that.
3. I love Oreos dipped in orange juice.
4. I'm a Gryffindor but pretty sure I'm on the Gryffindor/Ravenclaw line. Supposedly my patronus is a pibald mare, but according to BuzzFeed, my personality type is a wolf, so I'm going with that.
5. I'm the mother of three boys. I love them dearly. They are my pride and joy. And I never, EVER complain about the messy bathrooms or the fact that my house always smells like farts and feet.
6. I have a collection of Smurf glasses. They make me happy.
7. Words To Live By, from Anne Lamott: "On the day I die, I want to have had dessert." (pssst...make mine chocolate)
8. I love movies.
9. I love movie soundtracks.
10. I love movie trailers.
11. I make wicked Easter Eggs.
12. I have an unhealthy obsession with the amount of trash generated by our society. It kind of makes me ill. "Wall-E" nearly sent me into therapy.
13. I'm a HUGE "Star Wars" fan. First crush: Mark Hamill. He had me at "But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some power converters."
14. I have a special mug I only drink out of when I'm writing. It's the coolest mug in the universe (props to St. Charles City-County Library District). I won't let anyone else wash it because I don't want to hate the person who accidentally breaks it.
15. I never get tired of the "Avengers" movies (counting "Civil War" here, even though it's technically Captain America). Fave characters: Scarlet Witch because she's got that awesome sensitive/badass thing going on, and Winter Soldier because damn.
16. I DESPISE being cold.
17. The biggest trophy I ever won was for speed typing. I have mad keyboarding skillz.
18. I'm scared of biscuit tubes. You know, the kind that pop when you press the spoon in the seam? *shudder*
19. I'm addicted to "Dance Moms" and "Hoarders." Not sure what this says about me.
20. I'm really sick of writing about myself.
