My name is Mary. I’m also called “Mama,” "eccentric," "talented,” “giving (to a fault),” “selfish” and above all “entertaining.” I have a flair for speaking my mind in a warm, lucid manner and thrive upon doing so.

Seventeen Random Things About Me:
1. I have lived in two countries – France (still paying off my student loans for that doozy of a study abroad trip while in college) and Japan (where I briefly taught English).
2. I never in a million years thought I would be a single mom – as the odds are piled against “us” – I look forward to proving those statistics wrong.
3. Education is sacred to me – your house and car can be repossessed, but no one can take away your college degree. Knowledge is power!
4. I live next door to my parents. On purpose.
5. I am a job snob and believe I am truly gifted with insight that is unappreciated as well as unknown to my superiors.
6. I used to be materialistic – and now I'm realistic. Wandering what stage comes next?
7. Sometimes I feel like a total failure. And then I look at my daughters and know I have done something right.
8. I was one of four students picked to intern with CNN at NASA when John Glenn went back to space.
9. I have no interest in ever falling in love again. Ever.
10. I used to compete in tri-athlons.
11. I have a hard time relating to my friends who don’t have children – they just don’t “get it”. Plus, I hate that their mobility is not encroached upon. To go to the grocery store unattended…a pipe dream for me, reality for them. Boo!!!!!
12. My dog has destroyed over $6000 worth of material items. But I still love him.
13. My dad has cancer. I cry at the drop of a hat. I never realized how much I loved - and needed him - until very recently.
14. I LOVE hip-hop music – especially old-school 90’s. “Ice Ice Baby” never gets old. I can dance like it’s nobody’s business.
15. I am actively seeking a church where I can relate to the minister – and my girls get their proper dose of religious zeal. Keep in mind they attend a parochial school which I am counting on to help send the message home.
16. I am a card-carrying republican, but have an open mind. Too open, sometimes.
17. I am a terrible cook. I burn toast.
