hello.

hi there.

i'm lizzie. i'm on my way to make some changes in my life. here's the basics of who i am and what makes up me right now, today.

• i'm 27 years old. i'm not really big on birthdays and mine is not much fun because it's usually pretty cold out. (12.23.86)
• i was born in west allis, wisconsin. i currently live in downtown milwaukee, which is only about ten miles away from west allis.
• my favorite color is yellow. my favorite number is 3.  
• i graduated from the university of wisconsin- oshkosh in 2010 with a degree in environmental studies and social justice. 
• i'm back in school at the university of wisconsin- milwaukee for a second degree in nursing. ideally, i would like to deal with "family planning" services. 
• i live in a 400 square foot studio with two cats- marla and jasper. the space is small and they are sassy!
• i have a third cat, but she lives at my mom's house. her name is nea. she's a grumpy old lady.
• i work at a cupcake bakery in milwaukee as their head baker and decorator.
• i'm currently looking for a new place to live and a new job. 
• my favorite books are: the giver, the bell jar, and lord of the flies. 
• i have a niece (ava, 7 years) and a nephew (liam, 8 weeks). i adore them both. 

and that's the gist. i'm a grumpy, grouchy, sassy, homebody kinda girl. sometimes i ride my bike or walk down by the lake. i like good food. i hate wearing socks and i like wearing moccasins. i enjoy naps and have many daydreams. i plan to share these things with you as well. 

xoxo
