I am a 32 year old middle school teacher who loves the city. I
lived in Chicago for four years where I started my teaching career
but could not get settled there so I came back to the city I
love-Minneapolis. I am always looking to better myself and the
world around me. I read avidly and love to discuss issues, ideas,
etc. Coffee is my friend. I hate starbucks...I will explain this at
another time if needed, but know that I will more than likely not
meet you at starbucks.
I want someone who is genuine-you are who you are...because I am
genuine. I do not hide anything about myself and know myself very
well. I do not play games with people's hearts or lives.
I also love words and artistic expression and some day will be a
published author...it would, of course help, if I could stay
focused on one idea long enough to actually make it into a book.

My Notes edit
My self-summary
What I'm doing with my life
Getting settled back into Minneapolis life and reconnecting with
friends and family here while letting go of the past so I can focus
on my future. I am anxiously awaiting the start of school in the
fall so I can dive into teaching language arts full time-which is
what I have always wanted to do. After four years of teaching
subjects I am not good at and do not love, I am starting a position
doing exactly what I love-helping kids to love literature and
writing as much as I do.
I will also be taking some classes this fall to complete the requirements for my Minnesota teaching license... funny they expect more here than they do in Chicago Public Schools....
Also just joined Gold's Gym and got a personal trainer to get myself in shape. So far, its going great. I love it and am really getting into the habit of going to the gym after work. In a few short months, I will be even cuter than I am now and have more energy and stuff too! wooo hoooo

I'm really good at
Asking questions, making people laugh, helping people to see the
funny or ironic side of just about everything, tormenting children
while shaping their young minds, encouraging people young and old
to question everything in order to establish a solid sense of
themselves and the world around them, making french toast,
sleeping, harassing my cat Jem, reading, choosing books to read,
making fun of people (all in a kind spirit of course), moving,
making coffee, drinking coffee, cooking, entertaining people,
crafting poems with magnets.
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me
My strawberry blonde hair, razor sharp wit and my smile. Also my
curves.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I love to read...so...the list for books may be long...first
anything by Brennan Manning, The Gospel of Judas, To Kill a
Mockingbird, The Secret Life of Bees, A Heretics Guide to Eternity,
Wicked, Such a Pretty Fat, anything about urban education, social
justice, etc....Jesus For President, Thoreau, Emerson, Walt
Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Shakespeare, Shel Silverstein, Eric Carle
(yes he wrote the very hungry caterpillar and the grouchy ladybug
and more stories about insects and i love him), Calvin and Hobbes,
the Boondocks,
Music, I love India Arie, U2, Linkin Park, the soundtrack to Avenue Q, R&B, Pop, Counting Crows...pretty much anything.
Movies...again, pretty much anything. Favs are Sliding Doors, Juno, Shawshank Redemption, The Usual Suspects, Rattatouille, Fight Club, Oceans 11, The Italian Job, Runaway Bride

I spend a lot of time thinking about
How to make a better world without becoming a cynical bitter person
giving up on humanity.
How to save money.
How to be a better person, lose weight, get in shape, etc.
What are my cats thinking?
What are my students thinking?

On a typical Friday night I am
Relaxing and recuperating from the week alone or with friends and
family.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here
I have an odd sense of humor and am very easy going and
sarcastic...to the point of sometimes offending people. But I do
not intend offense...i just see the funny side of life a lot.
You should message me if
Um you find me interesting and want to know more....
