I just do.) -wandering museums, galleries -eastern european and asian art and culture, art deco, too -gymnastics, ice skating, -drawing and painting, -dive bars, -sushi, -southern soul food, -the olden days- especially olden day pictures and clothes (I feel completely in the wrong era...I was REALLY supposed to be born sometime between the 1870s and 1900s...I would have LOVED to experience the 1920s!!!) -To continue on that note, also antique houses (ours was built in 1911), art, music...such as the old vinyl records for our Victrola -and...classic cars, -yoga, (yay Ravi Singh and Ana Brett!) biking, hiking, being outdoors, gardening, -avoiding cold weather, -sending caustic e-mails to our so-called gov't 'officials', -dancing (to 'good music'), -thoughtful design, -having our girls nights out, -hanging with our animals which includes 3 cats, 2 (sweet) pitbulls and fish...(wish there was a horse in there, too). -I also strongly, rabidly, completely support environmental protection and pro-choice issues. ***And I MOST like wandering around aimlessly with my Tarik... Oh, and I like reading, too.
