Cheap High Heels and a Hot Flash
I write about my pets, social issues, my children and just about anything that comes to mind.
I am a Kansas City girl, born and raised. I am married and the mother of 5 wonderful children. The big 5-0 is just around the corner, but in my mind, I'm still a kid.
I've always loved to write. My insane Chocolate Lab, 'Mr. Riley', is usually my favorite topic. But, I do have some social issues that are near and dear to my heart.
I enjoy making people laugh. As a child, I was always the class clown. Not much has changed.
I've been told that I'm loud and a bit sarcastic. That I don't disagree with. My sense of humor and big personality likely comes from my mother and my bigger than life Italian family.
I consider myself to be a happy and fullfilled person with a bit of a stubborn streak and a very soft heart when it comes to children and animals.
I am a devoted K.C. Chiefs fan. Whether we win or lose, and it's been mostly losses in the past few seasons, you'll find me screaming at the television and cheering on my team. After a win, I proudly display a Chiefs flag on my car window.
I am a make-up and shoe junkie and consider ice cream to be a complete food group all of its own.

THE GIRLFRIEND FORMULA
Posted Friday, August 3, 2012, at 10:05 AM2"And the days went by like paper in the wind. Everything changed, then changed again. - Tom Petty - --- In 1977, at the age of just 13, I met 7 young girls that would transform my idea of what true friendship should be. At that time, on that day that we first met, none of us imagined that our little group of misfits would eventually grow into a circle of such diverse women, so strongly bound, so loyal, and so committed to our love for one another. ... -
BOOBY TRAPPED
Posted Monday, July 23, 2012, at 4:01 PM4Cheap High Heels and a Hot Flash Booby Trapped I know that this is a sensitive subject, but, as a woman who is well endowed, I feel the need to address that which is mammary. Let's face it ladies. No matter what they're called, breasts, boobs, ta-ta's, the girls; our chests are, more often than not, the topic of conversation, speculation and curiosity by both men and women alike. ... -
