I haven't swapped in a couple of months due to changes at work, but it's all calmed down now and I'm back.. :D 1/23/2012

My name is Adriana. I am a HUGE Pittsburgh Steelers fan who resides in San Antonio, Tx

I am a bonafide nanny. I'm just like Mary Poppins without the umbrella and the spoon full of sugar, but with the cool hats.. It makes me smile and brings me joy to see them grow into who they're meant to be, while their parents are out working their jobs. I've been with the Miladies for three and a half years and have no intentions of leaving them. (They've just been the Miladies since I started. I think I was taking the show Tudors way to heart back then.)

Mostly I'm just a dorky kinda girl who loves the idea of sending made up parcels full of knick knacks someone would enjoy...I'm not very crafty but I try to be. Even when people think I should stick to my day job.. Let's just say I stay far away from swaps that have me making stuff cause what I think is cool, others think it's not.. An I'm ok with that. Though I've made it a mini mission to get better at crafting.. I wanna be able to crochet by the end of the year..

My favorite thing/color in all the world is orange.. It makes me happy! :D

Music is probably my number 1 passion after my job. I love all kinds of music.. I have fan mix's from all genres of music and I hate that I can't stop collecting them.. :D :D I probably have like 10 of the same song in my Ipod.. ha! I love being at a live show and getting lost in words that someone is feeling through song. Music saves lives and if you don't believe that then I can show you more then a handful of people it's saved, including me. I can appreciate all forms of music. I wouldn't say all is my favorite, but if someone puts something into their craft who am I not to give it a listen.. My favorites range from New Kids on the Block to My Chemical Romance and all things in between.. :D

Books are another passion of mine. I love to go to the library and just walk through the aisles and pick up a book to get lost in.. Books are my way of getting through the everyday hustle and bustle of life. I'll read anything whether bad or good Vampire centric/inspired .. I LOVE VAMPIRES! Supernatural is a fave. Romance is fine. I also love autobiographies.. Harry Potter rules the world.. I love Ron Weasley!!

Big Brother. Dexter. Mad Men. Glee. Big Bang Theory. How I Met Your Mother. The Office. Gossip Girl. Lost. Supernatural. Bones. True Blood. Criminal Minds. Vampire Diaries. Fringe. Plus so much more.. It's just a fact that I love TV a lot..

My TIVO... The Color Orange... Keroppi... positive thinking... Snoopy/Peanut Gang ... WICKED; the musical... Cupcakes... Lady Gaga... Stars... Halloween... babies... stickers... fan mix's (mix cd's)... My Chemical Romance... crafts... honesty... my IPOD... PITTSBURGH STEELERS... Target... hot beverages ((tea, coffee and all things surrounding them))... notebooks/journals... my Iphone... journals... moleskine planner... Popsicles... my Library Card... Starburst... Pizza... checking off things on a list... post-it notes... Frankie Iero... Chinese food... anything ORANGE... New Kids On The Block or NKOTB... this smiley: ---> :D...

FLAKERS... Fake people... LIARS... Tomatoes... FLAKERS... poor parenting skills... LIARS... FLAKERS... two faced people... The Dallas Cowboys... People who don't RATE but 'PLEDGE TO RATE'...

Items I would love to receive: Anything that you think would make me smile I'd appreciate. I've been joining a lot of sock swaps lately cause WHO doesn't like socks.. My foot size is 9. :)

So to sum up I love music, the color orange, Frankie Iero, mix Cd's, new music I may not know about, Halloween, Patrick Stump, snoopy, stickers, journals and friendship!!

If your going to flake on me I'd rather you let me know.. I appreciate those who angel and I love when I can be an angel myself.

Seriously though if we're all grown people why can't we follow through with what we promise and then RATE afterwords.. I don't get it.. Do you?

I'm pretty serious... Flakers aren't cool.. :(
