Hometown: Chattaboogie, TN | Current town: Athens, GA

Likes: the fall in Tennessee, the way my son has given me a fresh perspective on the world and the human spirit, people watching, learning new interesting/quirky things about my sweet husband, slow dancing in the kitchen, the smell of library books, acupuncture, seeing live music, cooking for friends, earth tones, nerds, laughing, exploring new places, and people who help me become more enlightened.

Dislikes: unwillingness to change, snoring, small talk, panty hose, when someone continually says they will do something and never follows through, Texas heat, and long fingernails.

Goals: to finally finish my masters degree, to always provide my son with a safe, loving, and honest environment as he continues on the path of major dudeness, to make my awesome Autism farm/school dream a reality, to take a treehouse road trip with Tommy, and to someday wear a pair of socks that match.

And a quote from one of my favorite childhood songs:

“You don’t have to get high to get happy,
Just think about what’s in store.
When people start doin’ what they oughta be doin’,
Then they won’t be booin’ no more.
When a President goes through the White House door,
An’ does what he says he’ll do.
We’ll all be drinkin’ free bubble-ubb,
Eatin’ that rainbow stew”

-Merle Haggard, Rainbow Stew
