This is me. I talk too loudly and too much, I swear a great deal, but I can listen too. I love me some meat and potatoes because that is usually the very best you can hope for from life, and I don't mean that in a wanting sort of way, but in a loving and contented manner. Everything else is icing. I read books, I'm a bit of a know-it-all and I'm okay with that but I'm okay with getting called out on it too. I live and I work and I bike and I opine and though I'm sometimes cranky or indecisive, I am always striving to enjoy as much as this world will allow, and to love as deeply as my heart can hold. I don't always succeed, but I always try.
