playing with our doggies at the park, shopping for awesome & sometimes unnecessary pet stuff, bike riding with Seth, hosting summer BBQ's & swanky outdoor dinner parties, people of all types, music of all genres, thought provoking conversation & the absolute lack thereof (sometimes ill try my hand at ellucidating the ever-pressing questions of the universe...other times, id rather just talk nonsense), spending time with my mom, seth, and trudy (they are my little family 3), teaching, learning, the world of culinary artistry, baking goodies for my lover, making homemade gifts, performing reeeally awful kareoke renditions, annihilating your ass at board games (GAME NIGHT!), enjoying wine, hosting dinner parties, reading magazines, beating video games on the wii, playing with make-up, pretending i work out, science, genetics, virology, hanging with smart cookies, laughing so hard my face hurts, making my contribution to this world through laughter, love, & science...
