How do you sum up who you are in 2000 characters or less? Here goes nothing. Like everyone, I have more than one facet. A good sense of humor is important. Nothing makes me happier than a long conversation with a good friend. Preferably over coffee. :) The thing I would most like to change about myself is that when I get nervous I get chatty. I hate that. I also tend to use humor as a defense when placed in uncomfortable situations. (Think Chandler in Friends) Thankfully, that doesn't happen often. The one thing I would never change is my open mind and willingness to listen. I would rather take a long walk in the rain than a long walk on the beach, and better than either would be a bunch of close friends sitting around a bonfire in my backyard reminiscing about our last camping trip. (Ok, so I have only been camping once, but I REALLY enjoyed it). I am recently married to my first love.  Between us we have seven beautiful girls ages 7 to 18.   What else can I tell you? Umm.. I prefer Scrabble to Twister. I have no idea what teen spirit smells like. I believed my dad when he told me that tapioca pudding had fish eyes in it.. until I was like 12. I think putting on a brand new pair of socks is just about the best feeling ever. (It's like an orgasm for your feet!) Boogers freak me out. I love scary movies, but I watch them almost completely through my fingers with my hands over my face. My middle name is Mintti. Pronounced "Minty". My parents didn't like me much. If you want to know more, just ask!
