Beating The Game

About Me

I wake up every day with a smile on my face and gratitude in my heart. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. But, my gut is rarely ever wrong. I love to spin to Tommy's sexy spin class and Andrew's Sunday class at Crunch in LA. I wish I could do more of Barry's crazy Boot Camp. Sitting at home and catching up on my "Desperate Housewives" episodes is more fun that going out to a club. Having dinner with friends and discovering a new restaurant is one of my favorite things to do. Spontaneous trips are always the best.

My Interests

Spinning, Friends of Lockwood, Trevor Project, Hiking, Traveling

I'd like to meet:

People who stimulate and motivate me. People who make me laugh and think. The outcasts & underdogs. The interesting & controversial. The kind & sincere.

Music:

Josh Groban, Barry Manilow, Bette Midler, Neil Diamond, James Blunt

Television:

Desperate Housewives, Brothers And Sisters, Misguided, Reruns of Friends & Will & Grace.
