About Me

I like animals, especially small ones you can scoop up with one hand. I like expensive jeans and T-shirts. I don't like olives or cilantro. I am the queen of bargain shopping. The Barney's Warehouse sale fills me with light and giddiness.

My Interests

Mole. Riding my bicycle. Snow. Ebay. Cupcakes. Ice cream sandwiches. Hoodies and sneakers. Tofu cuties. Guacamole. I make my friends exercise. I have been told I have the interests of my friends' grandparents. So imagine some scrabble, crossword puzzles, shuffleboard and throw in some outdoorsy stuff, and there you go.

I'd like to meet:

shoppy shop shoppers.

Music:

apparently all i listen to now is mates of state.

Movies:

Little Miss Sunshine... sweet, sweetness. I love Steve Carell.

Television:

Project Runway. Trading Spouses. The Office. Dog Whisperer.

Books:

New Yorker magazine.

My trip to asia went well; it's hard for me to think that I've only been back for a week.  Jet lag does that to me - the first days of asia lurk behind a fog of jet lag.  Hong Kong was good ...
