Me in a nutshell

Help!!! Let me out! But seriously, I’d have had to keep up with gymnastics as a child to fit in a nutshell…I’m happily married to the guy I’ve been with since I was 17 and the mother to an angry Miniature Pinscher named Bindhi and a spastic 1/2 Boston Terrier 1/2 Min Pin puppy named Matilda.

I Heart

Makeup. The Hoff. The color purple (the actual color, not the movie with Oprah). Tom Selleck’s moustache. Useless trivia. Zombies. Sarcasm. Bea Arthur. Cashmere. Dance parties of one. Anthropologie. Ninjas. Trashy novels. Bubble baths. Cupcakes. Horror movies from the late 70′s/early 80′s. Anything ridiculous. Shiny baubles.

Tell Us More

eat, drink, be merry: Tell us your go to meal

Any kind of soup or pasta. I am the balls in the kitchen, except I can’t cook meat well and I really blame the 4 years of vegitarianism I spent back in college. I make a macaroni and cheese you’d sell your soul for.

beauty & fashion: I can skip these

Self-tanner and bronzer. I embrace the pale! Also, whenever I try either self-tanner or bronzer, I end up looking like Pigpen from “The Peanuts”. Not a good look for me. I also never wear belts or any type of pants described as “skinny”. I’d rather die than be caught wearing “leggin’s”.

I NEVER go without these

Blush. I look like a corpse when I don’t wear blush. I also won’t leave the house without curling my eye lashes. It’s such a little thing, but you can see the difference.

Biggest splurge or steal in my closet

Splurge: Anything from Anthropologie. Everything in that store is gorgeous, but hideously overpriced.
Steal: Most of my closet because I rarely pay full price for anything.

do-gooder: Why I am one

I volunteer and always send charities money when they send me those address labels. I also never walk past a Salvation Army Santa without paying tribute.

read, watch, listen:Favorite books

“Lightning” by Dean Koontz is my all-time favorite and anything of the trashy variety. If it’s got a busting corset on the cover or a well-muscled (possibly oiled) chest, I am so there. I also am weirdly obsessed with books featuring zombies. I have a book of zombie haikus. Totally not kidding.

Favorite bands

If it belongs in a time capsule, I love it. I love jazz from the 20′s up to techno from the 90′s. Heck, I even own a Britney Spears CD somewhere. Maybe even 2. Don’t you judge me…

Favorite TV shows

MANTRACKER (new obsession–it’s a Canadian import–a search and rescue cowboy on horseback tracks 2 “prey” through the wilderness over a course of around 25 miles over a 36 hour period–RIVETING television, folks), Supernatural, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Criminal Minds, Bones, and Dirty Jobs

Favorite movies

Halloween, Scream, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, pretty much anything from the 80′s, and anything that Judd Apatow touches.

home & living:My favorite room in my house

I just moved to a new house in NH and was wondering if a walk-in closet counts as a room? If yes, then my new closet is my favorite room…I can actually fit MOST of my clothes in there. It’s impressive :)

pets & kids:I choose

Pets

potluck:Five people (dead or alive) I’d invite to a party

Oscar Wilde for his wit, Robert Plant circa 1970 so he can sing or just stand there looking pretty (dinner and a show), Steve Martin because I think he is one of the funniest yet quietly intelligent people out there, Paula Deen so she can cook, and my mom because if I had the ability to raise the dead in a non-creepy way, I’d use it.

If I were an 80’s movie/tv/music star, I’d be

The fat kid from “The Goonies”.
