I'm sorry. What?

About Me


Want to know more about me? READ MY BLOGS! They are funny and fascinating (just like me.)
I'm a multi-tasker. Can cook you a great meal while I paint the kitchen, record background vocals on the next big hit, operate an automatic defibrillator, entertain children and grumpy adults, study the effects of stem cells on atherosclerosis while using the words Amygdala and Periaqueductal Grey. Yes, I'm a geek. I can tell myself a joke and then laugh until it hurts. Love a good cup of coffee, a beautiful painting, my golden retriever and a glass of wine with the perfect conversationlist. I use the word hate only when referring to standing in line or brussel sprouts. (OK, I must include young bag boys at the grocery store who call me "maam"). My greatest pet peeve? People who don't use their brains and think for themselves.
You're Brigitte Bardot!
