About Me:
I live with my boyfriend, our pit bull, three parrots, and two house rabbits in a little cottage in San Diego. I work full-time as a Proposal Editor and attend graduate school part-time in the evenings. In my (rather limited) free time I volunteer for a pit bull rescue, read, paint, and watch B-horror flicks [blush]. My Achilles heel has been beauty and fashion since birth. In junior high (when I started babysitting and thus had my own income) my mom sat me down and told me that my fondness for mascera and shoes was interfering with my savings for college.
