Introductions

Hello all and welcome to my new DTC blog!  My name is Dena Lacey.  I am optimistic about this semester now that my brain has had winter break to reset and get re-energized.  I have another blog, but will refrain from sharing it as it has been neglected for some time due to my really busy life.

Here's a bunch of random stuff about me:


I am 35 years old.
I am a junior at WSU Tri-Cities trying to obtain a degree in DTC (duh.).  This is my second semester at WSU and I am scheduled to graduate in Spring 2011.
I am divorced and a single mom of the greatest kid on earth.  His name is Beckett and he's 3 years old.  He's the most amazing thing I've ever created and I am very proud of him!

I am originally from Austin, TX but have lived here in the NW since 2002.
I plan to move and set roots in Seattle once I finish my degree.

I have pretty typical interests.  These include but are not limited to: cooking, baking, making my son laugh, watching movies (huge Coen brothers fan), singing out loud to classic rock songs, being a dork, reading, pretending to be a health nut, collecting gig posters and eclectic/kitschy artworks, home decorating (my own house, that is), talking on the phone, traveling, making sure my hair always looks presentable, tattoos, trying to say clever and funny things, and generally loving myself and l-i-v-i-n' life.
My favorite color is red.
I am an Aries...which makes me stubborn and headstrong among other notable qualities.
My favorite food is sushi (when I can afford it).
I want another tattoo...a half sleeve on my left arm.
I like my steak medium rare, my eggs scrambled and my coffee really creamy with a little sugar.
I love all classic rock music (bc it's the only thing my parents allowed us to listen to) and divide my time between classic rock and indie rock/pop/folk/alt-country.  I am currently on a Cars, Foreigner, and The Bird and the Bee kick.
I tend to be a grade grubber but am trying not to care so much since it really makes me feel like a nerd.
Javier Bardem's character Anton Chigurh in No Country For Old Men really scared the crap outta me.
I have a thing for vintage pin-up girls.
I like watching "reality" television if it requires real talent aka Top Chef, Project Runway, Shear Genius etc.
I am a huge Venture Bros. fan.  (Go Team Venture!)

I want to learn to play the drums.
I have 3 siblings and am the oldest of the 3 daughters.

Alrighty then, I guess that's all I have for now.  See ya 'round! :)
