About Me

I am a NY native who splits my time between my beach home in Hampton Roads Virginia and the Northern Virginia Panhandle. I work in the Maritime Industry so I love anything nautical, maritime related or beach themed. I am obsessed with my dog and the great outdoors. I run Half Marathons, do Yoga for the fitness benefit, love to travel- New Zealand is a favorite destination, I have stacks of books that I am always reading my way through, I am a quilter and a crafter. I love my Jeep, the NY Yankees, Kal Barteski Art, good coffee and challenging conversation as well as a great laugh. I believe in Karma, simplicity and recycling.

Favorite Crafts

I do a little bit of everything but lately I have been focusing on my sewing/quilting. I always have at least three WIP and the quilts are starting to pile up!I have dreams of starting a non-profit organization that provides finished quilts to children in hospitals with long term illnesses. I am also working on improving my stamp carving, calligraphy, and cake decorating skills.

Favorite Television

I do not own a TV as I feel as though there are a million channels and NEVER anything good on! I do watch some shows though....LOST, Rescue Me, Sex and the City, The Tudors, Californication, Entourage, Dexter, Nip Tuck, Friday Night Lights and Brothers and Sisters when I can catch it.

Favorite Movies

I am a tough critic when it comes to films however I do have a few favorites....Sliding Doors, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, A Beautiful Mind, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Inglorious Bastards, Seven, Troy, Down Periscope and The Departed.

Favorite Music

Brandi Carlilie, Kelly Clarkson, The Goo Goo Dolls, Jane's Addiction, Death Cab for Cutie, Bob Marley, Hole, KT Tunstall, Pink, Moby, Patsy Cline, and the Beatles just to name a few. Basically anything but Rap, Opera or Country although a few titles from those genres have made their way into my itunes library.

Favorite Books

This is a tough one....so many to choose from. Anne Rice-Vampire Chronicles, Eat-Pray-Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood, Love Life by Kal Barteski, More, Now, Again: A Memoir of Addiction by Elizabeth Wurtzel. My bookcase is packed with travel guide books, cook books and historical fiction.

Comment: Thanks for the mail! It's nice to meet another relitavely new vegitarian - I've only been going for a year, but everyone else in the swap has been for a really impressive amount of time. Thank you for the documentary link too - haven't had time to watch it yet, but as a film student I'm always keen for something new to see. Keep up the good work and I hope this finds you well!

Comment: Ah, Earthlings, so wonderful and terrible at the same time. I've seen bits of that movie too many times! At Burning Man a few years ago, the camp I was in played a 45 minute loop of video from dusk til dawn every night; most of the video was from Earthlings (I got permission from one of the producers). It's a great tool to open eyes. Congrats on your transition. :)

Comment: Thank you for sending! Have never seen the movie but plan on checking it out... I find that type of documentary kind of hard to watch though. I wish you so much good luck being veg and making vegan choices. I don't think that feeling better and running farther is in your head because I noticed changes like that too! Though possibly it is in both our heads :)

Cathy - you're so sweet! You definitely made my day with your comments. It was fun to try and come up with something that you might actually get a smile from :D. It makes the swaps so much more fun that way, huh? Hopefully our paths will cross again... รขโ„ขยฅ
