I always try to never say always or never. * I believe almost everything can be improved upon, somehow. * I hate beets. * My dad thought more was better. * My mom told me to keep champagne in the fridge always. * My fella taught me to build stuff out of metal and to use more than one kind of onion in the same dish. * I read the Phantom Tollbooth and Alice and Wonderland (and Through the Looking Glass) every year. * I just saw a metal show and an indie band in the same week. * Dahlias are the best bang-for-your-buck flower. * Planting a pea to grow... PEAS ...amazes me. * I wear a wooden necklace and knock on it a bazillion times a day. * Bacon can equal happiness.
