About Me

I love to read. I've always loved to read. Most days, it's the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do at night. I know I'll never be able to read all the books that I want to, but I'm giving it my best shot. When I'm not reading, I'm probably running. You may have seen me out there with the pink socks, although I recently switched to green and blue. (Go 'Hawks!) It's lucky that I love to run because I have a pretty serious sweet tooth. What do I love more, making dessert or eating it? Too close to call. But I do know that my kids will grow up knowing how to make a perfect brownie.
