I really love to go thrifting the junkier the store the better, Gardening and spending time with my family. I'm not big on sweets but I love love love devils food chocolate cake! I'm more of a salty & crunchy fan. I have lived in Southern California all my life.

I like a lot of different kinds of music. I listen to old and new alternative, pop, disco, house & high energy, salsa, country. Grew up listening to it all!

I love Chic flicks ie: "In Her Shoes", "Hope Floats", "Sense & Sinsibility", "The Holiday" the list goes on and Horror movies!!! but they scare the #@#%#$@ out of me! LOL! Still love to watch them but slasher movies not really. I also love to watch old classic movies from the 50's, 60's & early 70's. A couple of favorites are "Two For The Road" with Audry Hepburn, "Summertime" with Katherine Hepburn, "The Trouble with Angels" with Rosalind Russell, Bonjour Tristess etc etc
