BioMaybe I should write a little bit of a meatier bio.
My name is Erika, I'm 28, and I live in northern Illinois. Far northwest burb of Chicago. This is me:
I live with my husband Nick, who is also 28. I reference him a bit in my journal. This is my husband (on our honeymoon with a dolphin. Obviously.):
We have no children, but we do have 1 dog and 1 cat that we love very much. Well, I love the dog very much. My husband loves the dog slightly less. :) He's more of a cat person.
This is Gracie, our yellow Lab:
We adopted Gracie from a Lab rescue organization when she was 2.5 years old. Don't let anyone tell you there is "something wrong" with animals in rescue. She's a great dog.
This is our bratty cat, Kura (it's catnip all over her fact - she's like a crack addict with that stuff):
And that's my family. :) I do mention the animals a lot. I love animals in general, and I volunteer weekly at a local animal shelter, in addition to being involved in Lab rescue since we adopted Gracie.
As for other general information, I have a masters degree in counseling psychology, which I'm doing very little with. I graduated in 2005, and worked a few odd jobs for awhile after graduation, but have been employed for 3.5 years now as an editor for a "healthcare" company. It's more like a pharmaceutical marketing company. I tend to write about my job also. I am still trying to decide what I want to do with my life, and I often whine about it. :) I like to work out - I ran a half-marathon earlier this year, and I'm intersted in healthy living in general. I am a partial vegetarian - I guess you could call me a pescatarian - I still eat fish/seafood, but that's about it for the animal world.
My husband is an accountant. It's the perfect job for him, and he likes it pretty well. He will be studying to take the CPA exam in 2010 and probably at least take the first couple parts of it.
I don't lead a very exciting life, and my journal entries probably aren't very interesting to most, but I do like to make new friends, so feel free to add me if you think we have things in common.
