Some dish on me? If you want to know a really good story, ask me about the time a nun hit me. Otherwise, here are a few fun things:

*I was born and raised in Vermont

*I sport glitter daily

*I hit 49 states by the time I was 24, and made it to #50 in August of 2010 right before my 32nd birthday

*I Crush Oreos in my jars of Nutella and eat it by the spoonful

*I currently pay my bills by waiting tables in Chicago

*I send lots of snail mail

*Running, soccer, dancing, and Zumba are my absolute favorite activities. If I don’t do at least one of them, at least once a day- I can get crabby

*I’m obsessed with paper maps

*99% of the time I drive, I drive in silence. No music or books on tape, just me, the road, and my thoughts

*I think every person has a great story

*My Grandfather calls me a Pisser

*My favorite place in the whole wide world is on Seneca Lake in Upstate New York in the summer

*I will never understand why so many people live in such fear. What’s the worst that could happen anyway?

*I believe that Blue Lollipop Road is meant to do great things

To put a face with a name:

Here I am with my partner in crime in the background; The mighty Honda Civic, AKA the BLR-Mobile:

Dancing and goofing around. (Yeah, I know- it looks like I am doing something else. I still really love this picture.):

Hanging at a winery:

…at my favorite place ever; The Finger Lakes. (You did read the fun bullet points above!)

Jumping for sunset beauty and joy along the Pacific Coast highway:

Overly excited to be texting at dinner with a friend:

Sipping a chocolate milkshake treat after getting my blue lollipop tattoo:

At a Cubs game loving Chicago:

A recent wedding:

(Is it bad that we picked that flower out of a pot we weren’t supposed to?)

***Well there’s a whole lotta Diane for you! Check back regularly for new photos and fun facts. I like to switch things up…
