About Me

I'm officially in my late 20's, I am a newlywed, I recently moved from downtown Indianapolis to the Chicago suburbs, I have a Master's Degree in Marketing, I'm perpetually searching for my dream job and I may have just found it with a new job as a marketing coordinator for a small food marketing and photography company, I'm pondering my PhD, I shop too much, I don't see my friends enough, I still get carded at the movies, I read trashy novels, I mess with my iPod too much, I'm addicted to celebrity gossip, I live for vacations, I have a pesky husband named Mike who buys me diamonds, I'm a know-it-all, I'm mad at Starbucks for making Carmel Apple Cider all year round when I thought it was a special winter-time treat, I'm usually in bed by ten, I hate cleaning the bathroom, I have a wiener dog named Oliver, I'm a grammar Nazi who uses incorrect grammar all the time, my favorite color is green, I love alfalfa sprouts, I wear Uggs even though they are out, I have a weakness for sequin, Coach, and Tiffany's, and I can really cut a rug.
