About me

I'M HAPPILY MARRIED, SO PLEASE NO MORE SOLICITATIONS FOR ONLINE ROMANCES!!!

We don't have human kids but we have a lovebird.

My interests:
Watching movies (mostly indie movies, but hate the esoteric French movies where the main characters have monologues that go on forever.)
working out (treadmill & pilates)
reading British chic lit to relax
relaxing with my lovebird & my husband
traveling when money allows
hanging out in ethnic communities in St. Louis
politics (depending on my mood)
baking (as long as it's something chocolate)
blogging (obviously)
meeting totally cool & unusual people who inspire me

My work

I mainly work on CultureSurfer.com. I LOVE interviewing people most of all but I do just about everything on the site.

Intermittent political consultant (worked on Russ Carnahan's campaign in "04 & Claire McCaskill's campaign in "06. They both won. :) Hoping to be involved in the "08 election cycle.
