Who I am is who I am. . .and the best part is that I love who I am! I love that I am able to live in Germany only knowing English, yet slowly but surely learn German. . . that I have friends that live in Japan, USA and all over Europe because it gives me somewhere to travel. . .that I am lucky enough to have a job. . . .that I make enough money to be able to travel all over the world during any vacation time I may get. . . .that I work with amazing children all day who work their hardest (hopefully) for me. . .that I have the time to relax and read or watch TV or cook meals during the week. . . .that I come from the land of the Cheesehead (because who wouldn't be proud of that!). . .that I am able to go out and enjoy time at a Germany Biergarten at any time. . .that I am able to keep in touch with family and friends with the 1000's of ways technology has given us. . .

I am enjoyable, adventurous, and fun

Working. . . .working out. . .going out. . .traveling like a fiend. . .driving the autobahn until my hearts content. . .staying in contact with friends from yesterday and 20 years ago. . .Attempting to travel to all 7 continents (in 2009 I was on 5 of them!). . .

keeping in touch with people. . .remembering what you were wearing the first time we met. . .remembering your friends names. . .reading quickly. . .counting to 10 in multiple languages. . .making people laugh. . .making my way through airports and figuring out my way around a subway no matter what language it is written in. . .0

My outgoing nature. . .which usually includes my smile or laugh. . .and let's face it guys. . I'm a well-put-together-woman. . .i'm sure there are other things you will notice about me, too.

Pretty much open to most things. A few food limitations (seafood), but that didn't stop me from living in Japan. I will see any movie once. . .and love it. I just may not be willing to see it again. I will start almost any non-fiction book, and will know if I love it or hate it by page 10. If others have loved it, I push through, if not, so be it. True favs: Books: anything Action or Romance; Movies: All movies by John Hughes and for some reason, Transformers (1); Music: Beatles to Lady Gaga with anything 80's thrown in there. . .although I can listen to Andrea Bocelli and Beethoven and love that too! Food: Almost anything the Italian's make, but my favorite is mom's home cooking (simply because I only get it so seldom)

Family
Friends
Toilet paper (honest answer)
Water (for a shower-and naturally to drink)
A sunny day!
. . . .

Never one thing in particular. . .something that has to do with the make-up of my day.

Friday night is supposed to be typical?? sleeping. . .traveling. . .watching TV. . .reading. . .chilling with friends. . .drinking. . .dancing. . .

You're just going to have to get to know me for this one. . .

reading my profile essays have made you chuckle. . . .At least a little bit!
