I like adventure and trying new things, from new countries to new kinds of food and lots between. I am an actress in my "spare" time, and working to become a writer. I love my family, like dogs, not that fond of cats, and accidentally kill most plants. I don't know what that says about my nurturing side, but I take comfort that no child has ever died or been injured on my watch. ;)

I am pretty laid back, despite my schedule. I love baseball games, and the beach. I want to learn to surf. Think I am too old?

I also love to read and keep learning. I like to fight for what I believe in. I am quixotic by nature.

I love to cook, because part of me does connect to food being love. I like finding new recipes, but I also like learning new basics so that I can cook with whatever happens to be in the cupboard. Sometimes I will take recipes and tweak them just to find what else will work. I love to cook for my family and friends. I think it is a gracious way to serve.

I believe in service, both public and private.

I am curvy. I am not fat (size 6/8), but if you aren't into an hourglass figure, don't bother with me.

If I were to choose a feminine weakness, it would be that I really do love shoes. I just think they are so pretty. However, I am no Carrie Bradshaw- I don't even like Carrie Bradshaw.
