About Me

Let's see... I'm originally from North Carolina but I never made a very good Southern girl - couldn't quite master the Southern "manners," hate sweet tea and fried chicken. I went looking for snow in college, which is how I ended up at Haverford. I took a much needed year off of school after Haverford before starting grad work at UC Riverside. I later transferred to CSU.
I love Colorado - my boyfriend Greg and I bought a house and I've taken up cycling and snowboarding. Plus we have an awesome dog - got her from the Boulder Humane Society, Savannah, she's a border collie - Australian cattle dog mix (AKA superdog - see pics).
You are White Chocolate
You have a strong feminine side with a good bit of innocence thrown in.
Whether your girlish ways are an act or not, men like to take care of you.
You are an understated beauty, and your power is often underestimated! What Kind of Chocolate Are You?

You Are an Excellent Cook
You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning.
It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire... Are You A Good Cook?
