Doris Weldon

By profession, I am a special event planner with a heart for green ideas. By self-proclamation, I am a master nail biter and Epcot expert (go ahead, stump me).

I have a love for travel and history, an appreciation for worldly foods and a 40-pound Doxie/Lab mix (and I'm always looking for cool options that allow me to travel with him).

I think. Probably more than I should. And I love to be challenged in thought.

I appreciate expertise and adore quiet confidence, not cockiness. I find comfort with normal experiences, but I thrill with the exotic and new.

As a child, a poster hung on my wall that stated, "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other is gold." This is in my heart.

I like margaritas and jeans that hang low on my hips. I like to prop up my feet with a movie I've seen a million times. And speaking of feet, I groove over a good pedicure.

I prefer a clean house, but there are certainly days when I refuse to lift a finger.

There are few sounds that calm my soul more than a sleepy sigh from a dog named Beau.

I like playful banter. I like good confrontation. I like being defiant (with rubber bumpers). I like being provoked. I love the element of surprise.

When things become routine, I long for stimulation.

To steal a favorite line - old enough to know better, still too young to care.

I want the gerber daisies on my porch to bloom forever. And I want cake batter ice cream - daily.
