I am curious, light-hearted, and clever.

I'm a graphic designer with a car insurance company (think Gecko). Grew up in the DC suburbs, went to Penn State, caught the travel bug and never stopped. Suze Orman says it best: people first, then money, then things.

My new years resolution is to have more fun. I actually had a lot of fun in 2011 and I plan on having more :)

Just bought a home and got back from an Australasian trip. Not sure how to top this summer but im gonna try. My job is really satisfying right. Think about going back to school all time. I just need to learn something new.

having fun. Honestly, the last time I didn't was, well never.

local real estate and development blogs. newsweek, bloomberg businessweek. bill bryson, barbara ehrenreich. republican debates (as entertainment). mclaughlin group. chris matthew's show. morning joe. real housewives of beverly hills. fringe!

Diesel Jetta. Nothing has provided me with more freedom.
Gym Membership. For stress and looks you can't beat it.
Friends & Family. They are fantastic when your single.
Dessert. If its baked, I'll take two.
A Job. It's one third of my life and pays for the other two.
You?

how long I can stay in bed and still make it to work on time. And retirement; worries me a little.

at an extended happy hour. Sometimes it leads to closing down a bar. Other times, its dinner and I'm home watching a 90's sci-fi show on Netflix. I'm happy to cross the dress code line at work on Fridays.

SisterAct might have been my first CD. And DVD.

on New Years Eve, you would get the most inexpensive plane ticket we can find. Could be NYC, could be Des Moines. Let's Go.
