I'm am infectiously charming and witty, modest and eccentric. I am fiercely devoted to my family, friends and my passions, which include, but are not limited to: intellectual conversation, the arts, exploring and taking advice/direction from strangers. I'm a little quiet at first but once I get going I am a force to be reckoned with.

I bake when I'm stressed out. If you want the fruits of my distress, call. I typically have a plate of brownies or scones waiting around for a happy, hungry, sweet toothed mouth.

I'm a taurus. Very much so. I am also a middle child and have all the fabulous quirks that come with that position, although I've been told I have first child traits (like being an overachiever, which is really a cover for being a slacker). I appreciate good grammar. Strange fonts and colors in email irritate me. I prefer plain text over HTML. I love fresh food, but didn't eat much of it as a kid. I've traveled. I've lived in other countries. I think everything is funnier when you have a Minnesotan accent.

There truly is nothing better than afternoon siestas.
