I am open, warm, and honest.
My Self-Summary
I am a woman who enjoys the small pleasures of life....the sun...a
steamy latte... the change of seasons, flowers and the smell of
basil and rosemary when rubbing their leaves, KSFR, NPR, the
reporter and Pasatiempo. I enjoy gardening, growing my own food,
chilling out with friends and re-discovering hidden places/spots in
town.
I enjoy laughing and watching the kids become more independent as
they grow.

I’m really good at
...not knowing what I am good at!
not thinking big
The first things people usually notice about me
I guess it is my friendliness and my accent!

favorite hot spots:
A nice terrace where to have a steamy latte while reading the
newspaper like CounterCuture Cafe A hot tub at night in good
company while sipping a glass of wine in my backyard..otherwise 10K
waves is great. Nice brunch at Claffutis (SF) Tent Rocks
I like latin music ...currently I am into jazz mainly performed by
female singers: Diana Krall, Ella etc
It really cheers me up to listen to Christin Lavin, and enjoy the
classics of the french chansons
The six things I could never do without
the children, my family, my friends,finding creative projects to
balance my scientific career, a good kitchen where to cook
everyday's meals, going back "home" at least once a year
I spend a lot of time thinking about
how to raise healthy and independent children, how to be
sustainable, how to make this world a better place, how to help
others, how to improve myself, how to grow and overcome obstacles,
how to learn from the past and not make the same mistakes, how to
balance how much to give and how much to care for myself
On a typical Friday night I am
There are no typical friday nights!
On a friday evening I might be cooking dinner while listening to
music and hearing the children laugh (and fight) for then going on
the bedtime routine with bath, massage, tooth brushing, pajama
fight, book reading...while falling asleep with them.
Other times, I might be staying late at work to catch up for the
things I can't do otherwise.
Other times, I might find a grown up thing to do: art walk, movie,
dinner with friends ...
