I am here for Friends

About Me

i'm allergic to cats (but insist on owning one)! i'm passionate about nutrition and fitness, but do indulge in french fries, donuts, chocolate cake, and banana pudding on occasion. i do photography for fun and for pay, but still have a lot to learn (and a lot of gear to buy). i love collecting cookbooks, but don't have the time to use them these days! i have lots of jobs that keep me very busy (and tired)...3 at the moment. i often fantasize about quitting my job and completely changing careers, but deep down, i don't think it's time yet. i'm feeling the urge to make some big changes soon though...stay tuned!i try to be "green" whenever possible, and i'm getting better at it. i am currently learning how to grow vegetables and herbs, and have become more aware of where the food i eat comes from. recently, i have been thinking about this a lot: http://www.michaelpollan.com/omnivore.php
