Updated 2/1/11: Working mom. I love music, coffee, tea, and crafts and love the idea of giving and receiving neat stuff from mail.

My almost 10 year old daughter loves the Beatles and ABBA songs right now.

I love jazz, folk music, pop/ballad. Among favorite artists include Stan Getz, John Legend, David Wilcox.

I like craft books, self help books, fiction, non- fiction, cook books and even diet books. ;) I listen to Audio books. Favorite Authors include - Robert Ludlum, Anna Quindlen.

I probably haven't missed a season of Survivor and I still love it, Top Chef, American Idol and DWTS ( the last 2 i watch with my daughter). I like Jeopardy, Jimm Fallon.

I love Chick flicks. Don't watch horror movies. Love the Guy from Music and Lyrics - Hugh Grant - I watch movies where he stars in. I also like Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts, Meg Ryan, and Tom Hanks.

My husband would reluctantly watch the movies with me. But I make sure he never forgets when he had to choose and picked Starship Troopers.

Oh Crafts! I started with cross stitching. I like cross stitching Hearts.

Next, fell in love with rubber stamping - I began buying supplies but never got to do as much as i wanted to. Would love to do greeting cards again. Love scrap booking. I like doing inchies and matchboxes. My new love- mini-albums. I now love vintage prints and ribbons. I love to make dotees and stuffed heart-shaped ornaments.

Also did crocheting, knitting when I was younger.

Love to have tea parties with my daughter. We have a good collection of small tea cups and small dishes for different settings. I love to make tiny treats to go with tea/coffee for me and juice, hot chocolate or milk for my daughter.
