I get paid to write for executives. It lets me travel to some cool places.

I am expecting my first baby. Poppyseed is due Feb. 7, 2010 and we can't wait to meet her.

I read a ton and am addicted to paperbackswap.com and bookmooch.com. I love getting things in the mail, in fact, I'd call it an obsession. But I prefer the things I receive to be useful - i.e., things I can eat or re-use in some way so as not to add to the clutter in my life, which I'm slowly working hard to reduce.

I'm expecting a baby girl due Feb. 7, 2009. Poppyseed is our first and long awaited!

I have a cat so her hair often finds its way into packing tape...
