About Me

I'm a humanist , a naturalist and an atheist . I'm creative and a bit artistic. Formerly a freelance graphic designer with ambitions to enter the world of advertising, I put my marketing and communication knowledge and skills to work selling commercial real estate properties. I'm a grandma want-to-be; sewing, nurturing and perfecting my chicken soup recipe. Formerly, as unathletic as they come, I breaking out of my sister-given nickname of Veal as I play soccer now and love it. A day at any Disney park is my idea of a good time. I love the beach but I hate sunbathing and going in the ocean. I like antiques. I sew with a 1938 Singer and have a small collection of books from the turn of the century. I have an unhealthy obsession with ear and belly button cleanliness. My favorite hobby is cooking. If I ever have a free day with nothing else to do, I cook. I am a huge NPR nerd. I teach adult literacy . I love keeping in touch with friends. I am still in contact with a quarter of my pre-school class. If you're an old friend, please contact me.
Also. I love those tiny plastic spoons for tasting an ice cream flavor before you buy it. They make me very happy.

If you don't know me, but want to, drop me message. I'm up for meeting cool people in the area. I have annual passes for all Disney parks and I'm always looking for park pals.

Do all philosophers have an 's' in them?
