About Me

I love learning about any and every thing. I'm fascinated by creativity. I believe in "please" and "thank you." I enjoy good conversation, be it verbal or nonverbal. I can be bashful yet bold. I am partial to a nice glass of wine. I can be sarcastic yet sincere. I am as nice as you allow me to be. Sometimes I'm chatty, sometimes I'm subdued. I love spending time with friends, but I need my space (no pun intended --- this time). I can be silly. I look forward to football season (i.e., I like to talk ish). I should take more vacations. I love to laugh. I appreciate positive people. I get misty-eyed whenever I hear "Zoom" by the Commodores. I believe in happy endings. I love my life.

My Interests

music, creating perfect iPod playlists (preparing for my next career: DJ), running, hanging out with friends, Boggle, dominoes, gardening, Philadelphia Eagles (E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles! It was my Sunday study break in law school that has blossomed into a mild obsession)

My Blog

Those who run seem to have all the fun...

Over the past 12 months, I realized that I want to be a participant in life rather than someone who picks up shiny trinkets while cruising along the scenic route (FYI --- bar exams have a way of makin...
