I’m a 40-something gal from the Midwest who likes to pretend that I’m a 20-something gal living the life of luxury in the Caribbean, or maybe Hawaii, heck I’d even settle for Florida.

10 NEW Things about Me:

1. I ran Milwaukee Lakefront Marathon!
2. Like my brother, I also enjoy a clean kitchen.
3. I don’t feel my age.
4. My favorite place to be is Fish Creek.
5. A close second is Martha’s Vineyard.
6. I will always choose chocolate chip ice cream.
7. As much I’d like to, I just don’t understand the fascination with red velvet cake.
8. Suddenly, I became a Brewers fanatic.
9. I am allergic to grass, onions, raspberries and shrimp.
10. I’d love to be a docent at the Milwaukee Art Museum.

The long version about me:

I’ve been married for 15 years, have an 11 year old daughter, two dogs, three cats, and a big fat mortgage. I live in the suburbs, work in the family tool and die business, have my bachelors degree in criminal justice, and am *this close* to finishing masters degree in business administration.

If all else fails I’m going to get my yoga certification and live out the rest of my life wearing yoga pants.

I love going to the movies, reading a good book, taking long bike rides, yoga, and running. I enjoy Sunday mornings because I can read the newspaper in my pj’s and drink my coffee. I’m addicted to tennis and watch all the tennis matches, especially the four grand slams.

I could live on grilled cheese sandwiches, caesar salads (hold the caesar dressing please), cheese pizza with black olives, yogurt, chocolate chip ice cream, and red wine. Oh and water. I drink a lot of water.

I have the uncanny ability to break glasses and cups. I drank out of Mason jars (from Classico spaghetti sauce) for 10 years, and recently graduated to using Tupperware.

My real name is Kimberly, but I use Indigo as my online alias — because I started blogging in 2005 and back then you never ever revealed your true identity. Feel free to leave a comment if you want to contact me.
