I’m Rizzle Dizzle. That’s not my real name, just a fun, witness protection, CIA, top secret, special -ops kind of a name. And I’m in my 20s. To more specific, when taking surveys, I check mark the box “25 – 30”. I have four sisters whom I adore. I also have amazing, talented, funny parents.
On most surveys there isn’t a box for my current marital status. The most appropriate is single. Although, after being with my boyfriend, Kat Daddy (note: this is not the name displayed on his social security card) for 7 years, I might as well just check mark married. He’s my favorite friend. He is very smart and patient – two qualities I have yet to possess. On most occasions we enjoy snuggling up to watch a movie. When I pick out the movie it’s a comedy or drama. When it’s his turn to pick, it’s something very violent and/or action packed – think Heat or The Matrix. Together we like to travel, work on the house, shop and relax in our living room. When I asked Kat Daddy what he likes best about me, he said “I like you best because you are motherly and take care of me”. I was hoping he’d say, “I like you because you are outrageously sexy and beautiful”. I’m pretty sure that was the next thing he was going to say.
I wish I could say the advertisement from my blog puts the food on the table and pays my water bill. Unfortunately it doesn’t. I travel from my home in suburbia to the 10th largest city in the United States each day, Monday through Friday. I have a corner office, surrounded by large windows, with views of the rolling hills. I even have my own espresso machine! My state of the art ergonomic chair and desk keeps me from getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and back pain. I have ultra fancy pens and post-it notes in all shapes, sizes and colors. You’d be lucky to have your name and number written on one of those! Um, actually I don’t have an office. I have a decent cubical that I’m glad to call my own. I have a carnivorous pitcher plant that I forget to water. Displayed are many pictures of my family and friends. I found a package of butterfly’s from Pottery Barn a few years back that flutter on my walls. I have a recent addition to my cubical paraphernalia: a labor law compliance poster for the state of Colorado. Somehow we ended up with too many and as some of you may know, I don’t live or work in Colorado, but the poster makes me look super smart and compliance savvy. That’s a key trait for one who works in HR, you know. I also have a crown from Burger King that sits atop my computer monitor. I have a colored printer, a black office phone and a banana – oh, that’s my snack. One of my favorite cubical items is my jar of Flarp noise putty. Sadly its plastic lid is dusty now. One of my friends from work went to town on it one afternoon and certain other co-workers were not the least amused with the flatulence noises rumbling from my cube. I spend most waking hours in my cube so its very much a part of me. Although, I’m always glad to part with it after 8 or 9 hours.
Now that you know me, read my blog postings and if ya want, leave some comments too.
Peace – Rizzle

*UPDATE*
January 2009
Correction to the second paragraph above. Kat Daddy is no longer my boyfriend. He’s now my Fiance or as my small, kid friend Gianna says, my Beyonce.
Correction to paragraph three: I actually have an office now. Unfortunately, without a view. Unless you consider looking a a hallway a view.
Addition to “Dislikes” list: Wedding planning. (It’s too stressful.)
