about me

Travel/food:  
Once when traveling in Paris, for Christmas dinner, I (or should I implicate my cousin as well and say we) ordered the only thing on the menu that I couldn't translate simply because it was "....Flambe".

it was liver

lots of liver

it was not on fire

Style:
My shopping swings widely between consignment/thrift stores and Nordstroms.  Nothing beats Nordstroms for being fitted and helped with picking out a new bra or for customer service, which is huge for someone who gets a little nervous shopping.  Nothing beats the thrift stores for finding super awesome jeans that actually fit almost every-time I look in for under $30  I don't know how it happens, but it does (my luck that by declaring it my luck will run out).

Health:
I have allergies like crazy, though the impact in Portland is substantially less severe than California.  After the long, grey, wet, winter breaks into joyous, beautiful, sunny, breezy, blooming spring... I huddle inside slightly woozy with the drugs and with the air conditioner and air filter on so I can breathe. This is even more discouraging with kids that you want desperately to (and indeed do) shoo outside, but know they will come back in covered with pollen.  Stoopid allergies.
