2012 was a year of personal changes, uncertainty and professional growth. I started a new job at a different company, moved into a huge new home, got a new car and dyed my hair blonde. Best of all, I kept off the weight lost over a year ago :D

This was the year I shed my human skin and became a mermaid, which is ironic because I am not a strong swimmer. For me it is all about self-expression, exhibitionism, and costumes.

I made some amazing friends as Mimi the lobster queen through social media channels. Mimi has emboldened me to savor what life has to offer.

It only gets better from here.
