    <about><![CDATA[About me. I am married with a stepdaughter. I live in a small town in south central Wisconsin.  My life has gone in a completely different direction than I would have thought 3 years ago. I was going to move to NYC and be Carrie Bradshaw. I want to travel. I like beer. I wish I could drink martinis but vodka makes me sick. I like food, especially Italian and Japanese. I could live off sushi. I adore sitting in a coffee shop and reading all day. My best friend is my little sis. I love music. I want to learn to play the guitar. I love to read- my favorite books are definitely fantasy-Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings- and classics- Anna Karenina, anything by Jane Austen. I love to shop although I wish I had the patience for thrift stores- I just can't stand to dig for hours. My favorite store is the grocery store. I hate my job- its the most bored I have ever been. I can't wait to have a career that I am passionate about. I'm obsessed with politics and plan to run for office someday. I also volunteer with Dane County CASA (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.danecountycasa.com">www.danecountycasa.com</a>), co-chair of the Education Committee for Madison Area Paralegal Association (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.madisonparalegal.com">www.madisonparalegal.com</a>), member of the National Association of Legal Assistants, (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.nala.org">www.nala.org</a>), studying for the CLA/CP exam, organizing the Madison Book Club Meetup Group (<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.meetup.com/Madison-Book-Club-Meetup-Group/" title="http://www.meetup.com/Madison-Book-Club-Meetup-Group/">http://www.meetup.com/Madison-Book-Club-...</a>).<br/><br/>]]></about>
