I work hard. Some call me an over-achiever. At work I’m nicknamed “Radar O’Reilly” because nothing gets by me. It’s just the way I am. On the other hand I am passive-agressive. My family tells people to be very afraid if I suddenly go silent.

I don’t talk much, which may be surprising since I write a lot. I am an observer. I am at least twice my age at heart, but every once in awhile I will try to act young although it really just doesn’t suit me. I am not a big drinker, but I don’t hold that against people. I got all of my boozin’ days out of the way in High School. I will, however, never forgive you if you light up a cigarette near my child. That’s a big no-no.

I’ve become overly sensitive as I’ve gotten older. I can’t help that. A man cut me off on the road one day, wouldn’t let me pass him and then gave me the finger and I cried about it. Then I felt stupid.

I have recurring dreams about Zombie attacks. Zombies are an actual fear of mine, even though I know they are not real. On the plus side, in my dreams I am usually kicking some major zombie ass…
