My favorite things to do during the weekend involve good books, getting out in my garden and cooking food for the weekend. I love a man who is handy around the house.

Good health is something I think about a lot and I enjoy finding "new" foods or activities. I have a kombucha mother, water kefir grains and I do Tai Chi during the week. I read Born to Run and it completely inspired me to stick with running and mostly I enjoy doing it, so often you will find me running with the lake Merritt joggers and striders - every fourth Sunday.

I think it is beautiful when a person's religion or spirituality gives her/him joy and happiness. Unfortunately I have met a lot of people where religion is a way to say, "I am right and you are wrong." I don't have the answers for you only me. I was born into Christianity it is what I know the best, but white Jesus and the intense sexism are two things on a long list that I find upsetting and I have a hard time believing that is the answer for everyone. I think religion is very personal and my experience with God on the days I am sure she exists is changing and hard to put into words.

Work, working out (Tai Chi, running ), eating well (gluten free), hanging out with my family, friends and cats.

Finding new healthy foods to make did you know you can mash bananas let them sit for four months and then you get vinegar!

My locks? Maybe I don't know.

I love science fiction, Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Avatar, Serenity and many other similar shows/movies.

Books
Okay so I read and enjoyed Twilight series but I am appalled by the bad acting in the movies. There are just to many books for me to list I love love the Palo Alto library system and that is one of the silver linings to having to commute there. Besides fiction I love books on preserving food, knitting and gardening.

Food
Ethiopian, Korean Vietnamese (been there and still dream about how good the food was ), Mexican (why would any one eat at Taco Bell in California? ) and most anything that is gluten free. I can be fussy about my no list but that is because the food makes me feel bad not that I am opposed to a lot of new tastes.

Music : Beyonce, Florence and the Machine... music I can sing to the awesome notes seen to be linked to sad lyrics I do want more happy music in my life.

Family, friends, love, nap time, a good book, and chocolate

Health and nutrition. Especially how it the root of most problems and why that is so difficult to understand.

I love listening to Your Own Health and Fitness, Flash Points, Against the Grain, and Bill Maher

Waiting for the traffic to die down before I am willing to get on the road. Often I contemplate how many accidents it'll take before some serious consideration is put in to how we drive.

I still laugh when ever I watch My Cousin Vinny

If you are honest, easy going, able to take care of yourself and looking to be in a long term relationship.
