Denver, Colorado, United States
i'm 33. i live with my husband, baby daughter 2 dogs and 1 kitty. i'm a chemical engineer with an MBA and work in technical sales. i tend to bite off more than i *think* i can chew and end up with a full bulging mouth for awhile before i can finally swallow. i thrive in chaos, but strive for order.

    Those are some very cute shoes! Always better to be prepared in my opinion.

  3. This is reason #153 why I wish I worked with you. I have: headphones. But you've inspired me! So now I've emptied out the personal part of my work bag into my brand-new Being Prepared drawer, and now I have: Vaseline Lip Therapy, Dayquil, some change, matches, headphones, one tube of really old lip gloss, two hair rubber bands, and Trident White. Yay!

  6. I used to be "one of those" people. Now I don't have a desk. I have a small food stash off to the right of my computer monitor, but no emergency drawer. What to do!
