I like aprons and Illinois. Art is good, so is love, kisses are nice -- smiles too. Orchids are cool, but curlers, vintage shoes, fairy tales, fables and screenplays are rad. I like pseudonyms (mine's a secret). Staying up till dawn, with my gorgeous boy, while watching Arrested Development, Six Feet Under or Entourage takes the cake! I like to run on my treadmill until I think I'm going to pass out. Binging on beer and chips from Trader Joes, while watching obscure documentaries pretty much rules. While I am currently focused on mastering the art of the self portrait, all I really want to do is wear high heels, aprons and pretty dresses while cooking for my loved ones. Why didn't God make me a 1950's housewife...that works?
