About Me

Fun facts about me:

I was born in Murray, UT and raised in Victor, ID.

I've only ever lived in UT, ID, and VA, but I've traveled to most of the US states.

My favorite place to be is in Fort Myers Beach, FL.

I used to breed Miniature Pinschers.

Ironically, I can not stand the sound of a dog whining.

I used to work for Dawn Wells (from Gilligan's Island).

I used to work with a singing producer.

I've been diagnosed with cancer 3 times and I'm only 27.

Consequently: I'm a health freak.

I had a hard time admitting publicly that I ever had cancer because, for a long time, I saw it as a weakness.

I love to write and am currently working on three separate books.

I collect DVDs.

My favorite food is sushi.

My favorite color is actually gold.

I squeak when I yawn - it's bizarre.

I used to collect "fancy" underwear, and had more than 400 pairs at one point.

I've been married and divorced already.

I love music - ALL music.

I love to sing, dance, draw, paint, and be creative.

I cannot hula-hoop to save my life. And believe me, I've tried. (It's not for lack of practice.)

Sometimes I (allegedly) giggle in my sleep. Do I believe these allegations? . . . (Ugh) . . . Yeah.

I am NOT photogenic. At all. But I secretly wish I was.

I ADORE the bands Muse and Florence + The Machine. They simply are incapable of making a "bad song".

I almost always paint my toenails one of three ways: all white, all red, or french tip.

When I was a kid, I hated hamburgers and loved hot dogs. Now it's the exact opposite.

I'm deeply offended by the "F" word when it's in books, but hardly notice it when it's in movies. What's that about?

I went to school to become a nail tech, and I had a lot of talent for it. I've done absolutely nothing with that schooling. (Except for my own nails.) ;)

My favorite quotes are: "Light a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a night. Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life." -- Unknown. And: "If you find yourself wondering where your heart truly lies, try seeing where your mind takes you when it wanders." -- (Also) Unknown.

I have never been to a concert. Not a single one.

People typically make fun of the names I choose for my pets. (Examples: Suri, Versei (pronouned like ver-seye), Tamri, Atreyu, Saben, Sienna, Remi, Alleghany, Amerie, Emery, Alba, Levi, Harley, Tianni, Bentley, Arello, Tessa etc. . . . ) I think they are GREAT names! :)

There is one man in my life that I don't think I'll EVER fully get over.

Secretly, I love the Elder Scroll games.

I've left the country, but never had a passport. Long (but not really) story.

I don't have a thyroid.

I prefer dark chocolate to any other kind of sweets.
