I am an actress and cocktail slinger currently residing in Brooklyn, New York. Classic single lady in NYC just trying to make things happen and enjoy life around me. I grew up with Violet and Dustin in Oakley and moved to New York after we graduated high school in 2002. I am so honored that Steph asked me to take part in this!!! She's a major hero in my life and I couldn't be more proud of where she she's come from, where she is and where she's headed. My website is currently being updated and I don't keep a blog, but I DO have a twitter account! I have a hard time talking about myself in bio form... like- a really hard time. can you tell??? :)

768. Quotes like this: "Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say 'I'll do nothing until I can be sure'. Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who won't risk the ocean." - Rumi

Mary is one of my all-time favorite people from high school and now that we've grow up, she's even more beautiful, TALENTED and amazing. She's been in print and internet ads and even had her beautiful face plastered on a building!!
Also... She was a chicken in Japan.
I remember one night when Dustin and I were watching TV (Lost, to be exact) and it went to commercial break so we started makin' out and all of the sudden I heard Mary's voice. Yeah, She was on a commercial. It blew my mind!
I'm so proud of all that she's done and where she's going with her life. Eeeep! Life is amazing. :)
As part of my New Year's Resolution, I've been spending this month catching up on all the thing that took the back seat on my blog. Since I'm half way through my 27th year and this series, 26 While 26, hasn't seen the light of day since summertime, I wanted to try and catch up a bit. I didn't complete all of my goals for my 26th year. Oh well, it happens. Nobody is perfect, right? Twenty-six was a great year for me, with the highlight of course being the birth of Roman two days before I turned 27.
I've done a few of the things on my list since I last posted, and thought I'd share them with you.

Number 19, "Get at least one of the phrase tattoos that I've been dreaming of," is something that I am going to revoke my desire for. I, for the time being, have decided to not get any more tattoos on my body. I am a big fan of the beauty in simplicity and adding more lines and colors to my skin, I feel, will overwhelm that. Please don't take this as me saying that your tattoos (if you have them) are not beautiful or that I look down upon you! To each their own, and for me that does not include body art.
Number 22, "Do something selfless twice a month," is a fulfilling one! It breaks my heart when I'm behind someone at the store and they're counting every nickle and end up having to put an item back because they don't have enough. Giving is good for the soul. It can also be fun. Let me just say that you want to be behind me in the Starbucks drive-thru. ;)
Number 25, "Be honest with people," is something that I've really worked on. Sometimes honesty, especially when it you that you have to be honest with, can be a very hard thing. I believe that it's the right thing, though and I've come clean with a few people in my life and it feel so... freeing. If faced with a lie and the truth, choose honesty my friends.
As this post comes to a conclusion, I am hangnig up 26 While 26. I hope you enjoyed the posts and accomplishments that I shared.
From here on out, Bucket List will be the home of my life goals.
