About Me



This profile was edited with Tercata Layout Generator

It has been a while. I'll keep it short. I grew up on the West Coast, am now on the East Coast. We have a new addition to our "family"....Vespa, a 1 year old kitty, rescued from the hood in Charlestown.

My Interests

Photography, Yoga, Volleyball, Piano, eating fine Dark Chocolate

I'd like to meet:

It would be awesome to meet some comedians out there like, say Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, Ray Romano . . . but I have my own comedian at home, Jay, and my good friend Marta (see friends) to keep me entertained. Oh and let's not forget our cat, who thinks she's a dog sometimes (with her howling and playing fetch).

Music:

I love all different kinds of music, from classics and oldies to top 40. I go through phases in what I listen to....my current favorite radio station is 93.7 because they play all sorts of different songs. And I'm also a big fan of Soundtracks.
Some of my favorites singers: Carly Simon, Carole King, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, The Eagles, Billy Joel, Kelly Clarkson. (I'll add more as they come to me.)
Some of my favorite soundtracks: When Harry Met Sally (duh), Strickly Ballroom, Bridget Jones Diary.

Movies:

My favorite movie of all time is When Harry Met Sally. I can recite parts of it to the letter and my friends make fun of this "talent".
Other favorites include Joy Luck Club , Big , Stand By Me , The Shawshenk Redemption

Television:

Favorite TV shows include: Alias, CSI Las Vegas, American Idol and I love classics like Seinfeld. My friends can verify that I can relate most situations to a Seinfeld episode. Oh yeah, Sex and the City is fantastic too.

Books:

My all time classic favorite is The Great Gatsby. Great inspirational book The Art of Possibility (Zander/Zander). Buffett by Roger Lowenstein. French Women Don't Get Fat is a fantastic insight on how to eat without the guilt (it is all about moderation and quality over quantity, duh).

Heroes:

There's a Hero . . . if you look inside your heart.
Everyone has a bit of hero in them, in my opinion.

My Blog

"Perfect for the first time home buyer" Who invented this line?

Why is it that agents write into some real estate listings, "perfect for first time home buyer"? I see this line associated with what I consider to be dumpy properties. What, is it that first time hom...

Why I Have A Love/Hate Relationship with Kids

Alrighty, where shall I start?  Well, for one, I love that the kids are cute and full of energy and fun.  They have the potential to replace reality TV when they are your own.  I ...

Finally, the stupid blog body box appears!

I've been wanting to start a blog for a few days now and I kept getting error messages on the body portion of the blog.  Glad that's resolved.  Today I fulfilled my civil duty and showed up...
