I am constantly updating my profiles, so please check back often :)

I am a 25 year old SAHM to a one year old little girl and wife to a Sailor for 6 years. I'm originally from Oahu, HI but I currently live in San Diego, CA and I love it to pieces. I won't be here much longer, another year most likely.

I'm a liberal thinking and feeling and an Obama supporter.

I enjoy doing things for others.

ETA (08/17/2010): I had to cool it for a bit here due to financial reasons. Right now I'm mostly doing book swaps cause I am growing a stack that i've read but don't want to keep. But slowly I may get back into the swing of things. As I've said before though, I'll never not complete a swap I've signed for.

I love to read. I am challenging myself to read at least 50 books in 2010. If I had to make a list,

• literary fiction
• memoirs
• non-fiction: biographies, child development, parenting book.
• fantasy: this is a little tricky cause I like fantasy that it set in my reality...example: the sookie stackhouse series
• chick lit

But I am open to almost everything...EXCEPT religious books.

I keep track of my books on goodreads.com. I've linked it up top. Check it out :)

I like romantic comedy's and comedy's in general. Anything by Judd Apatow and crew I love cause my humor can be that immature. Movies are another thing I just love so I'll watch pretty much anything. Anything entertaining that is. I recently saw and loved "Sherlock Holmes", so that's an example of the type of movie I go for.

I love:

• Leverage (my new fav!!!)
• GLEE
• True Blood
• Dexter
• Mad Men
• How I Met Your Mother
• The Big Bang Theory
• Parenthood
• The Biggest Loser
• Modern Family
• Fringe

and these are just the shows I love that are on now. :)

This is in no way demanding anyone send anything for my daughter. But I've seen on other profiles people adding some likes for their kids, so I thought I'd cover my bases.

My daughter is one year old. Her colors/theme I chose for her when she was born was pink/brown...so she has many things pink/brown. She's still so young, anything age appropiate and girly would be wonderful.

ETA (08/17/2010): She is now 16 months old and is in love with Yo Gabba Gabba...but enjoys anything on Nick Jr. and she loved books.

Reading, blogging, journaling, reviewing, typical SAHM duties

I want to get into crafting of some sort and/or creative journaling.

I want to start scrapbooking, so any ideas or tips would be great!

Having a one year old at home does limit how much time and effort I can spend on one swap, but I do promise not to sign up for a swap that I don't think I can complete.

So bottom line, anything I sign up for, I will complete on time and to the specifications listed :)

• The color red
• pink/brown combinations
• Sea Turtles...I LOVE SEA TURTLES
• ladybugs
• butterflies
• books/reading
• journaling
• shopping
• animals
• hearts
• hawaiiana
• funky designs
• the enviroment
• starbucks
• babies
• purses/bags
• peace
• facebook
• eeyore and anything pooh related,
• stickers
• magnets
• food recipes
• apple cinnamon scents
• KIT KATS (my all time favorite candy)
• extra spearmint gum
• I have a fondness for 50's fashion
• vintage
• contemporary
• owls: the cute cartoony looking ones
• humor: I dig the funnies, even the crude ones
• Cherry Blossoms

and much more that I am stumped on, lol. Will add more as they come to me.

Saw that it is recommended that I make a wish list, to make it easier for others to make packages, so here it is. It may be small at first because there is not a lot I can think of that I want.

• stickers
• magnets
• recipes: I'm always looking healthy easy dinner recipes, but I'm open to anything for any meal.
• candles
• soaps
• kawaii items: I've seen these referenced a lot but not 100% sure what they are, but I'm down for anything cute
• cute pens
• pretty stationary
• scrapbooking items (will get more specific later, but any will do for now...looking for inspiration)
• I have a weird obsession with school supplies: folders, binders, pens, notebooks, etc
• Pretty much any crafting supplies, I'm open to all styles and supplies at the moment

There's not a lot I'm not open to, but I definitely DO NOT WANT:

• Tea Packets
• Coffee

I don't drink either so it would either go in the trash or maybe to someone else in a swap, but I still don't want any. Thank You!
