About Me

Please Read my Blog It explains the request for donations I love to travel, even if its only to get away for a weekend. I love my friends with a passion, which is partly why I joined this thing called myspace...a way to stay in touch without having to be on the phone all the time. I hate the phone, I almost never answer it. Other things about me...I love to dance. I have salsa or hot sauce with almost every meal. I will get a real job eventually, I think...hehe

My Interests

Um...what to say...I love to garden. Being outdoors is the best! Sports are an obvious love, water polo (when I can find a place and people to play with), basketball, biking (especially in SR, it seems every back road is a gateway to beauty), haha; I'm finally gaining an appreciation for my hometown. Other interests...read as much as I can. And yes, I love to crochet, currently working on my knitting skills. Music is the backdrop for almost all activities.
