About Me

I am a quirky girl who likes to cook, go see live music, dance in my living room like a big dork, go to antique car shows (this is my dad's fault), hike and watch episodes of Little House on the Prairie. I think it is important to show appreciation for people you think are talented or admire, so I have even stood in lines for 3 hours to get Paula Deen to sign my cookbook and am part of the Dwight Yoakam fan club. Other then that I am pretty normal...

My Interests

.. width="425" height="350" ..

I'd like to meet:

People I would love to have over for dinner and pie are Dwight Yoakam, Paula Deen, Matthew McConaughey (cutie!), Loretta Lynn, David Gahan, Johnny Depp and Oprah Winfrey. Oh, and of course my closest friends because they would probably want to meet them as well :-)I am lucky enough to get to meet interesting people everyday at my new little bakery in echo park. All my customers are super nice and I am so happy that the same ones come often...a very warm community!I wouldn't wish myself on any guy right now as I would probably make him work in the bakery all day washing dishes and would NEVER make him dinner since I am always too tired to cook...BUT, provisions are always made for CUTE BOYS ;-)

Music:

construction is hard

Ok, I don't know what is worse: the act of stripping a door with 57 layers of paint dating back to 1930, or the horrendous screeching noise the scraper makes as it scrapes the wood. Next time Sco...
