Meet Allison

Allison is:

A wife – I have an amazingly supportive husband who not only funds my book-buying habit, but oftentimes tells me to turn off the TV and read.

A Dog Owner – I have two awesome rescues, a chocolate lab mix and a mutt who could be anything from a bulldog to a boxer to a corgie.

An El Camino Lover – There’s something about a truck car that I think is awesome! I went for a spin in one for the first time in high school and I’ve been in love ever since. I prefer a 1967 with a bench seat, but I would take any.

A Shark Conservationist – Stop Finning! Sharks are extremely important to our ecosystem and are in danger. Predator sharks, in particular, have seen up to a 99% decline in populations over the past 20 years and it is important that we protect them. Click here or here or here or here for more information or see the “Save the Sharks” section at the bottom of this page. Or watch this documentary.

A Tiramisu Eater – I think that tiramisu is the greatest dessert (or food) on the planet. I love it.

A Law & Order Addict– Let me specify: I love the originals and SVU. I’m not a big fan of CI or LA. I have been watching them since I was a kid and I snuck peeks at the show when my grandmother didn’t know I was looking. I’ve seen every episode at least 5 times. Chances are, I’m watching an episode as you read this.

A News Junkie – I have  B.A. in Political Science, so this is no surprise. I stopped watching the 24 hour news because I felt I was unlearning things by watching it and try to read articles from all sides of the political spectrum. But I love it all.

A Quesadilla Snob– I love quesadillas, but I’m picky about it. I think a restaurant that serves quesadillas without serving guacamole should be shut down because it’s a crime against good food. Best quesadillas I’ve ever had are at Firebelly’s in Wilmington, NC (they call them quesa mesas).

A Florida Gators Fan –  I grew up in Gainesville, FL, so I bleed Orange and Blue.

A Little Bit Weird – I don’t even know how to expand on this because what other people think is weird, I think is normal. Sometimes I walk in palindromes and I don’t like even numbers. And I need things to be symmetrical.

A Big Sister – I am the oldest of four girls and I’m fortunate that we all get along!

A Coffee Drinker– I easily drink four cups of coffee a day. Sometimes more. I can have coffee at night and still sleep like a baby

A Former Girl Scout – Yep! Until I graduated high school! And we went to London. And I even got my Silver Award. We even made it into a book!

A Serial Nap Taker – I can take a nap anywhere, anytime. You can usually find me sleeping between the hours of 4 and 7pm unless I have something really exciting to do.
