I am a 43, have been married to my husband for 4 years. We have one cat (who thinks he is a dog) and neither of us have children. I have 6 nieces and nephews. I am a marketing assistant and meeting planner and have done similar work for the past 25 years in the San Francisco bay area. My favorite color is green. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving.

My favorite singers are Vicente Fernandez and Luther Vandross. I also like Michael Franks and Diana Krall. Very mellow!

I collect cookbooks.

I haven't been to the movie theater in a while, and don't have the patience really to sit through movies on TV.

My favorite shows are The Closer, Law & Order and CSI. I also enjoy most of the shows on HGTV and the Food Network - love to learn gardening tricks and 30 minute meals! Sandra Lee cracks me up with her tablescapes and semi-homemade recipes - love her!

Scrapbooking, collage, making books, baking, making jams/preserves, photography, making cards, decoupage, watercolors, soldering (mostly charms), glass fusing (pendants), and sewing on paper.

I love to go to estate and garage sales, flea markets, antique stores and thrift stores.

Earth and jewel tone colors, pages torn from books or magazines in foreign languages, old photographs and slides, chili pepper and cactus designs.

Pastel colors, stickers, lotions, lip balms, incense, dolls, political or religious images.
