About Me

I used to be gardener/landscaper by day, but have traded in my pruning shears( felco's I miss you)for a suit. Its been quite the transition but at least now I can afford to indulge myself in my collentions of doggie squeek toys,orchids, pretty underthings and dutch licorice. So far I am loving the new gig but I still find myself getting dirty in the garden as often as I can. A few notes about me:I am prone to wandering off with strangers. I have a long swan like neck and a nose to match. I am an enthusiastic but not terribly good dancer. Ditto singer. I have curly red hair that I swear i'm going to cut off one of these days. I like to wear hats. I have a beauty mark next to my belly button of which I am exceptionally fond. I have beautiful veins on my arms. I am a book whore and proud of it! Any recomendations? I have a morbid facination with the plauge( bubonic, phneumantic and septic). I love horses, dogs,cats, sandlewood, babies, old people, olives, wasabi peas and people that have a god damned opinion every once in a while!

My Interests

reading( everything), gardening, writing, dogs(dog park), hiking,salsa and tango dancing, festivals, naps, taking baths, talking bullshit to strangers, telling the truth when its least expected or wanted,and jumping rope( which is hard and totally kicks my ass).

I'd like to meet:

Bee charmers, plant nerds, book whores, artists, exhibitionists, dog lovers, salsa dancers, girls who look like boys and those of us that wore wonder woman under-roos( we recognize our own)as kids. However if you are STILL wearing the wonder woman under-roos then I do not want to meet you. Also, I'd like to meet whoever it was that decided to stuff the pimento into the olive and not vice versa. I have an unholy facination with freckles and beauty marks and I love women with short hair who have ears like seashells. I want to meet people who wear orange and swear. If you can Lead in Tango then I want to dance with you.

Music:

rock, jazz, r&b, Funk, classical, i'm a big opera fan, hip-hop, musicals, swing and big band,blues,latin anything, salsa, tango...too too many artists to list.

Movies:

muppet movies, the blues brothers, the usual suspects, the professional, amelie, sense and sensability, the nightmare before christmas, femme nikita, white christmas, the king and I, to kill a mockingbird, grosse point blank, matilda, chicago, millions

Books:

My Mom who survived cancer and my Dad, who didn't.
