All About pAsh

Who is pAsh?

Technically, I'm Patricia Ashley.  Ashley to friends, Ash to my best friends, P/P3/Petunia to my family.  I was born during the '84 craze of naming your daughter Ashley, due to that fact, my children will not be named anything popular.  My family is the most important part of my life, my Grandma, Patricia Jane is my best friend and my Grandpa makes me strive to be a better person.  I have amazing parents, Patricia Cecile and David, who were high school sweethearts and thank God, they later realized that wasn't going to work out.  They were blessed with an amazing first child if I do say so myself, then they had my sister Sarah like an afterthought...but she's pretty cool...I guess.  Divorce was the best thing to happen to my family, not only did I get double the Christmas presents, I got a new step-momma and sisser in the deal too.  They are true gifts from God, all joking aside Michelle is the best second mother I could possibly ask for.  My step-sisser, Courtney gave our family the best gift ever in August 2011, my nephew Cohen.  I have 3 gorgeous children, LaLa, Aggie and Minuit, a pomeranian, a schnauzer and an asshole of a cat.

I graduated from Greenwood High School in 2002 and I'm proud to say I've kept the same best friends since then and even added a few more.  I graduated from Indiana University with BA in Communication, yes, I studied how to effectively talk to people.  If you know what you are good at, go with it.  I studied two years in Bloomington and two years in Indianapolis and let's not get it twisted, B-town is where it's at.  Since graduating I've worked as a bartender, recruiter, industrial sales representative, litigation paralegal and now I've found my niche as a graphic designer/creator/social media guru working for an etching shop in Zionsville, Indiana.

I like to do stuff.  Lots of stuff.  I LOVE going to concerts, although I barely remember them.  I'm an avid baker, I've got a knack for cupcakes and a sweet tooth...thus I work out.  I also enjoy cooking, I have a few famous dishes and I only make them for people I really care about. (If you get homemade chicken parmigiana you're golden.)  I live on the south side of downtown and frequent the Fountain Square area, check it out if you are unfamiliar or haven't been in a while. I have a huge collection of purses and shoes. I have tons of clothes and nothing to wear.  I bought my house strictly for the floors and the master closet.   I have a problem, I'm not afraid to admit it.  I change my hair color, often, possibly too often.

I have country in my heart and city in my address.  The best of both worlds.
