I am a mom and an x-ray tech. I love to cook. I am a thrifter, yard saler bargain hunter extraordinaire. I hate to buy new when there is so much used stuff that is still usable out there. I feel terrible for the people in other countries who are paid very low wages to make the cheap consumer goods I have access to. So I do my best to avoid buying them.

I am currently obsessed with Pokemon Go. I love to go to the park with my kids. I love board games. I enjoying grilling on out deck and eating outside. Gardening is something I enjoy if the weather is nice.

I have an abiding desire to bring people together and make people have more trust in each other. I really want to live in cohousing. I basically think most people are good, despite living in a country where the news tells me otherwise every day. I feel deeply distressed by the political climate of the US right now.
