About Me

Hmmm..... I'm coffee dependent and eat sushi as much a possible. I dislike sock lines and gum under tables. I love plants, but I think they fear me. I'm a sucker for flowers. Minimalism is a goal, but I collect things. My last mission was ceramic panthers from the 50's. Now I've moved on. Every time I see "An Affair to Remember", I cry (dont ask how many times Ive seen it). I love cheeky lounges and anything tiki. Nothing is as freeing as being outside. It just makes me want to do the Snoopy dance. Beaches are where it's at. Cold is doable but not preferable. My dream car is a 63 T-Bird. I love car shows. I've been going to them since I was a kid. Lately, Ive been watching a lot of foreign movies (Bollywood, Japanese, French...),Magnum PI, and Mary Tyler Moore. I'd like to travel more. Last year I went to Italy. Hopefully it's just a start of things to come!
