Background Info

About Me:

I am a lover of all things tacky. I have a collection of way over 1,000 flamingos, because someone has to love them. I am a dork, and love it!  I love Harry Potter and Twilight, unhealthily.  In fact, if you think I talk about the two in the blog a lot…you shouldn’t ever meet me in real life.  I am terribly shy and will go way out of my way to avoid meeting new people.  I love working in the tourist industry, but you will catch me complaining about the crazy ones, and there are lots of them out there. Most importantly, I am a mother. No, I can’t show you pictures of my babies, but I am still a mother.

About Blue:
Blue was born on January 11, 2008 at 17 weeks gestation. He is my son, who I miss dearly. I have had other losses but Blue was with me the longest and has had the most impact on me. I was given no diagnosis for what happen, just that these things do. I have been devastated ever since and am still working on trying to put the pieces of my broken heart back together, as much as they ever will be.

About CLAD+J:
Chris, Lyz, Avery, Delaney and Joni.  I met Lyz and Chris in 1998 when they worked with Jenn at a chain sporting goods store.  We were stuck together like glue until late 2002 when we went on “a break” and reunited in Augustish of 2006.  We are again stuck together like glue.  I am currently living with them so a lot of my stories are going to include them.  Oh who am I kidding.  Even before I lived with them the majority of my stores included them!!!  These five people have been instrumental in holding me together through the roughest moments of my life.  I love them more than you can ever imagine.  Tons and tons and tons and tons.

About “Us”:
Jenn and I were together for almost 15 years. We met in September 1995, became “romantic” in February 1996, moved in together in June of 1997, got married in January 2003, and she left me in January 2011 with no warning for another woman (breaking up that woman’s marriage also). Enough said.
