Other Things in my Life

Since I posted about the photo contest for my dog I figured I'd take a moment to tell you about a few other things in my life since I do occasionally do things other than cook food.

1) "Cosco"- my dog. He is not named after the store, which btw is spelled "Costco" as in "low-cost company," you'd be amazed how many peop

le don't realize that. Anyhow, I got him from a rescue and that's what the lady who was fostering him called him so I left it. He wears sweaters, gets his picture taken for the holidays and has his own facebook page, deal with it.

2) Robbie - he's my man, right now he's driving trucks southeast regional, its not perfect but it sure is better than it was without him. He likes tattoos, motorcycles, all things argyle, superhero movies, and me ;-) He is a walking contradiction, the tattoos andthe truck driving might make you think he's just a roughneck, but he dresses like a gay preppy hipster and listens to everything from country to electronica. I love that.

3) My Dad - my closest family member, inspired my love for food and restaurants,

a great drinking buddy and my biggest fan. He needs to move to Athens so we can hang out more!

4)Roller Derby - Its what I'm into right now. I just started so you'll have to stay tuned in for more later but so far its awesome. I've never been very athletic but I think I'm doing well so far and its a great workout and a way to let off some steam after a tough day in the kitchen. If I ever get to bout my derby name is gonna be "Shirley Trample." (...cause of my curly, reddish hair)

5) Video Games - I play them. I'm not that good. I like RPG's for the most part. Right now I am very close to beating Assassin's Creed and am stoked about it. I injured my arm playing too much Mortal Kombat vs DC and Guitar Hero Metallica the other day. This either makes me lame or awesome, I'm not sure which. Also, does ANYONE know where the damn power switch is in Black Ops zombies?!

6)Horror Movies - I love them, I have fallen behind on watching them but for awhile it was a serious passion/obsession. I particularly enjoy anything with zombies, the films of Dario Argento and anything supernatural as opposed to just a regular psycho killer.

7) Tattoos- I have one, its a pineapple, I want more.

8) NPR - I listen to it, so should you.

9) yoga, donating blood, bluegrass music, vintage store shopping, beer drinking,
