About Me

Yes it is true...once I am finished with my thesis I am finally flying out to Beirut to see my Wifey after nearly 2 long years without seeing her! So if there is anything that you want me to bring back for you, you have until May 18th to tell me!
6,6 earthquakes eh..eh...ehhhhh
I forgive you Liz for sucking me into this!!!!! I currently live in SAN FRANCISCO.......I going to grad school for Environmental Management....and maybe some day the EPA...
You may or may not know about doughnut days (or as other people call it, Friday), but I thought I would list the top 5 doughnuts places...they are in no particular order; 1. Polk, north of California, west side of street (can't remember the name), 2. Happy Donuts- 9th & Judah (open 24hrs!), 3. Van Ness, south of Bush, east side of street (can't remember the name), 4. Happy Donuts- 24th & Church (open 24hrs!), and 5. Polk, north of Larkin, east side of street (can't remember the name). At all of these places, there are jelly doughnuts! which are my favorite, but even the plain doughnuts are good. They are moist, fresh, and often melt in your mouth. I LOVE DOUGHNUT DAY!

I have a love/hate relationship with Tucson. When I moved to Tucson I was promised that the dry river beds would fill up and become raging rivers, and I was excited. All I wanted was to see this, the rain, the lighting, and the flooding...well it never happened...so what happens the first year I'm there and I'm out of town, 6 days after I move, and the following year after my 4 extremely long, dry years there.....this....
Places I have traveled specifically to or stayed longer than 5 hrs...Driving through doesn't count....
My Family:
Past and present pets: Baby and Ziggy (lil f-ers), Kylie, and Buddy
Can you believe that I have known this boy for 22yrs?!?!
he looks good with a little makeup...even if they are only slightly different shades of brown (I think I need to introduce some color variety into my makeup)

My Interests

I can't stop laughing at this one!

Environmental rants...
With concerns over BPA in plastic and cans, not too mention other water contaminants...I am currently switching to a metal water bottle, filtered water, and limit my canned food intake...but the problem with water filters is that you cannot recycle them...so how to be eco-friendly...In Europe...they recycle/reuse them...we should be able to do that here in the US...So if you are concerned sign the petition and get Brita to recycle the filters!!! petition

I think its weird that the FDA doesn't require companies to test cosemtics and personal care products for safety. What kind of products are you using and are they safe?? check your pc products

Music:

Puppets at the Beck concert...they are awesome in concert..
