About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Conquer the world with margaritas and hilarious jokes.

ABOUT ME

I'm fun but sometimes need naps. I love to read and listen to new music. I've started cooking in the last couple of years and would LOVE to cook for people/do a potluck.
Living in the desert, I've learned to look for small things like when the cacti go into bloom or when the lizards come out. I've also learned to keep people in my mental catalog who have a pool :-)
When I travel, I really like to see street art, museums, eat at hole-in-the-wall places, go to fun concerts, see festivals, visit holy places, stroll through a market, and just relax.
