I live in a little house with a big yard in Manhattan Beach with my husband Mike, human child Nate, and the fur kids, Dexter (sweet old chocolate Lab) and Hawkeye (crazy orange tabby cat). Nate is 18 and attending El Camino College. My dad was in the Navy when I was little, so we moved around quite a bit, but I mostly grew up in the Washington, DC area, and then went to college in Vermont. After college, a friend and I drove across the country to live in LA, pretty much on a whim. I\u2019ve now lived here over 30 years!\n \n I work as an operations supervisor for a large printing company in Torrance. I do financial forecasting, budgeting, and analysis, hiring and firing, fun stuff like that! Which is very weird because I majored in art & literature in college. Go figure.\n \n I am a homebody. I like napping, reading, and watching cat videos. I also like cooking and eating. I\u2019m vegan (not an angry vegan, a nice vegan LOL). My family loves baseball, and we have a goal to visit all 30 major league ballparks together, a few each year. We\u2019ll get to 23 this year. It\u2019s been great, since we\u2019ve ended up visiting lots of cities we\u2019d never have seen otherwise.
