About Me

I strive to live an extranormal life. It’s not extraordinary and it’s not abnormal… it’s extranormal! (What?) I kind of do my own thing and live my own way. Square peg in a round hole world. Also, while I am risk-averse, I also tend to do some wild and crazy things in the spirit of adventure. 

I have lived in eight states encompassing both coasts and the Midwest. I currently love living in gorgeous upstate South Carolina and embracing a slow, southern lifestyle. (Feel free to join me on my porch! I’ve got a hammock chair calling your name.)

I have traveled on three continents. In my adventures, I have eaten termites and guinea pig. I honestly like escargot and sweetbreads. I hope to move to Europe or South America, where I’ll eventually retire. 

My rescue chihuahua, Lulu, was unashamedly my best friend. I miss her so dearly!

Things I love (other than my dog):

• Listening to audiobooks (I read at least three books a week)
• Food and wine (bliss!)
• Organizing and decorating
• Yoga and meditation
• Biking, hiking, walking, camping, sailing
• Getting out into nature, fresh air and sunshine
• Travel (domestic and abroad)
• Puzzles (Charles Wysocki puzzle obsessed)
• Making homemade limoncello
• Movies and television (especially British television)
• Cooking (prep is my favorite!)
• Clothes and outfits (I even use an app to organize everything I own, like in Clueless)
• Living room karaoke

I truly am a balance of an introspective, quiet introvert and a bubbly, faux-extrovert (when I’m with my people!) I have no fear of public speaking and I love performing and being on stage (acting/singing). 

I am a bit of a nerd. My favorite book genre is magical fantasy. I love movies and television based on comic books or magic. I use Excel in my personal life and love it.
