About Me

I like to dabble in crafts, mainly doing projects to make something cool/fun for my house or to turn a thrift store find into something even better.

I love making homemade chocolate candies-the kind made with molds and are "painted" with colored chocolate to give lots of detail to them.

I also love birthdays, especially making cakes for them, the crazier the better!

I'm single, straight, childfree and reside in a mobile home with one insane cat, Lowell.

I'm a Penn State Alumni and love the Lions!

I like to participate in 5k fun runs/walks but I won't be going to the Olympics anytime soon!

I'm very open-minded and hard to offend.

Favorite Television

I'm a bad TV junkie and will watch just about anything once. My favorites include:

Animation-especially American Dad, Bob's Burgers and classic cartoons such as Tex Avery and Looney Toons

PBS type shows especially documentaries and news type shows like Frontline

Sitcoms-Big Bang Theory(or "Bazinga" as we call it at work)is my favorite but also like Modern Family and several other current ones.

HBO/cable shows-currently Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. Also like Sopranos, Deadwood, Carnivale, Weeds, Breaking Bad

Reality type shows-Shark Tank, Worst Cooks in America, Toddlers and Tiaras and shows involving dirty/poorly run businesses getting made over

Favorite Movies

I love movies, especially cheesy ones off the 2 for a buck rack at Family Video! Types I like best include:

Mob/cop dramas-Godfather, Goodfellas, The Departed, etc.

Horror-just about any of this type from cheap 80's slasher movies to anything involving zombies

Comedies-more of the off beat/dark comedy type ones as opposed to things like The Hangover. I'm not opposed to raunchy/adult humor either.

Documentaries of all types

Animated-ones that appeal to adults as well as kids like The Incredibles or Up

I do not like romantic comedies or the so called "chick flicks".

Favorite Crafts

I'm more of a craft appreciator than a creator but I do a bit of crafting.

I have basic sewing skills and can make things such as kitchen curtains, simple bags and halloween costumes that aren't too elaborate.

I try and make thrift store finds into cool stuff for my house. Currently I have a locker sized metal cabinet that I want to change from blah to fun.

Things I like

I like lots of things!

Elongated coins

Penn State-just about anything with the oval shaped lion head logo on it

Things that say "Bless our trailer home", "bless our mobile home", etc. Even things that say trailer trash or tramp as long as they're funny and not vulgar

Stickers

Postcards

Funky pens and pencils especially floaty pens

Off the wall thrift store finds

Vintage coupons, especially ones for products that no longer exist

Dr Suess characters The Grinch and The Lorax

The Oscar Mayer Weinermobile

Animals-cats, dogs, horses, cows, hedgehogs

Souvenier type magnets shot glasses and keychains

Candy, especially dark chocolate

Puzzles-the kind with pieces and other kinds like sudoku and fill ins

Chocolate candy molds

Nailpolish-the brighter the better!

Domo

Tiny, funky erasers esp ones that look like food

I like the colors purple, blue and green

I'm a Pittsburgh Steelers fan

Things I don't care for/am not

There are a few things I don't care for or am just not into

Fairies/princesses

Vampires

Jewelry unless its a bead of something I like such as a horse

Scrapbooking except for the stickers

Fake flowers

Religious themed items-I'm not religious in any way so these things don't really apply to me

Gum unless its shaped like somethings such as a hot dog, etc.

Makeup

Hair accessories

Peppermint but other types of mint are fine

Perfume or other scented items for on the body

Coffee/coffee mugs

Comment: Dear Michele...this was so funny because I had driven up to Presque Isle to get pennies just for this swap!! What's even funnier is the only other smooshed pennies I have are from Punxsutawney! I guess we might be swapping these back and forth when we sign up for the Elongated Coin swaps:)!! It was nice to hear that you are from Erie. Most of my and my husband's family live there. We both graduated from there; he from Harborcreek High and me from Iroquois High in 1983. Thank you so much!! Chari

Comment: Thanks for the cracker card -- I like them, too. My dad used to slice chocolate drops (the kind with vanilla filling) and we would put the slices on saltines. Haven't done that in years -- but I remember loving them!

Comment: I bet someone thought this bedroom was just the height of fashion & class @ one time. I don't think it translates to today's standards. Thanks for a fun swap!
