I'm a Detroit girl with rural roots.

I love trees, nature, rivers, water, all the good stuff. I'm a Landscape Architect by trade.

I'm a working mom, and darn proud of it.

I have a 6-year old boy that is my world.

I love red wine, red meat and all my veggies. However, I could just as easily be a vegetarian. I love good coffee - I'm a fan of local bean places, but Caribou will do. Not a fan of Starbucks.

I'm obsessed with Twilight - The books. I love to read - just about anything. I love the books of Virginia Lee-Burton - her illustrations are amazing.

I play piano and french horn. My musical tastes range from Mozart to Nine Inch Nails. anything except country.

I'm into photography - as a hobby, not a profession. Architectural detail, parody, B&W, pattern and rhythm.

I'm an avid runner, even though I suck at it. I play volleyball, golf and waterski. An active lifestyle is hugely important to me.

We don't watch much TV at our house - but I love Ghost Hunters if I get the chance to watch it.

I'm also a big fan of FoodNetwork, but I'm not a fan of Emeril. Bam THIS!

Sappy ABCFamily network has good decent chick flicks, when I'm in the mood to cry.

My recent passion has been B&W photography - iconic images, historical images, etc. I'm experimenting on my own with local flavors, but the thought of major engineering/architectural feats in B&W closeup is just mind-blowing.

Not sure if this would count as a craft - but I'm REALLY into gardening - urban gardening to be more specific. I live in Detroit, and farm over 1/2 of my backyard. I can, I preserve, I bake and I eat what I grow.

I was just recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease (Gluten Intolerance). But, in my prior life, I was a MAJOR foodie. So, if you want to send food - that's AWESOME...but please don't send anything with (1) wheat (2) rye (3) barley or (4) oats.

I know, it isn't fun...but I'm slowly learning how to deal.
