About Me

i check the mail literally four times a day. i'm that excited to get your letter or package. if you send me a message or email and it takes a while for me to respond, rest assured that i feel guilty about it until i reply. i seek validation from the bottom of a heavy cast iron pot.

My Interests

anyone who can match my amazing organization skills. just wait until you see my magnetic calling system. someone to carry conversion charts alongside me wherever i go.

Music:

rock operas.

Television:

planet earth, the office, reno911, nigella bites, american commercials.

Heroes:

julia child, jacques pepin.
