Where to begin..

So this is my very first post on my new blog. I have been wanting to do this and have been urged by so many people because they think I'm a funny gal and like reading what I write. We'll see about that. While I write this, I'm watching the reality show "Singing Bee" hosted by Joey Fatone (who's kinda cute) and am absolutely certain that if I was on that show, I'd win the jackpot. I think in a parallel universe I am a singer (probably country, but don't tell my Philly friends/family that).

I chose the title "aspiring aimee" because I always have my hand in a new invention, recipe, business, idea, plan -- you name it. One day I'll actually follow through on that candy company, the novel or the comedy script I keep saying I'll do. Until then, I'll just keep thinking an awful lot about it all.

I know there is an "about me" section that I haven't quite found yet so I'll add some brief stats about myself here. I am (gulp) 32 -- for another 2 1/2 weeks anyway. I live in northern Virginia and have been in DC for over 11 years following college at Shippensburg University where I was a communications major and in Theta Kappa sorority. I am originally from the Philly suburbs where my family still mostly remain. I went to Upper Dublin high school (class of 92) and played softball mostly, among other sports like field hockey and a few years of soccer.

Some how I ended up in PR (well, it's not that far of a cry from what I studied in school). I always wanted to be on TV or even the radio and I still wonder what it would have been like but I got a job working on Capitol Hill which brought me to DC in the first place. I never looked back.

I'm not really sure where to start here so I'll probably post some recent pictures and tell some stories to go along with them.

Well, I think that's all for now. I hope you enjoy my absurd thoughts, posts and pictures. I'll try to make it all as lively as possible :)
