About Me

Wow. I didn't think I'd be starting a blog dedicated to my marriage and our quest to be parents, but here I am.

So...just for some background. My name is Corie. I married J on May 26, 2007. I'm 30 and J is 30. We have two cats named Shishka and Bob (they're both female). We don't have any kids yet, but we're working on it, which is the reason that I'm starting this blog.

What else do you need to know about me? I am really shy when I first meet new people, but once I know them, I have a habit of sharing way more than I should. As a result, there will probably be several posts in here in which I give you way too much information (they'll probably be labeled TMI).

My two favorite shows are Gilmore Girls (I watch Seasons 1-7 on a constant loop) and Friends, but I've recently discovered a BBC show called Mistresses and rediscovered Scrubs and House. I also somehow managed to become an American Idol junkie, and watch 24 thanks to my husband.

I have a plethora of favorite movies...so many that I won't even bother to try to name them all.

I love to read, but I usually re-read my favorites (also on a more or less constant loop) and don't branch out too much. My favorites are:
The Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich
The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon
The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley (and the books that go along with it, including the ones that were finished after her death)
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
The Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer
Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein
Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

I'm a HUGE country music fan. I listen to other stuff, too, but I love, love, love country.

I love the musicals Phantom of the Opera and Wicked. I've never actually seen Phantom, though (but I'm hoping to correct that at some point in the next year or so).

What else? I like to cross stitch, but I haven't actually made anything in years. I have squares cut for a quilt, but I have yet to actually start putting them together. (Hey...cut me some slack...I only bought the materials about 7 years ago.) I guess you could say that I'm borderline crafty, but I have a tendency to start craft projects but never finish them (hence the quilt in pieces).

I spend way too much time watching TV and surfing/reading blogs. I love sleeping more than I should, which doesn't bode well considering my plans to become a parent. I'm a procrastinator, so if something needs to get done, I need a deadline by which to complete it.

And now I can't think of anything else to add to my "About Me" so I think I'm going to wrap it up.
