I'm an optimist, a romantic and an animal lover. I'm musical, girly and affectionate. I was working as a project manager and technical writer for a large law firm until last November 13th when my job was eliminated. A few of my interests are photography, reading, boating, hiking, computers and original home decorating design.

I live with my dog, Toren Gilead and three cats.  I know, I'm a stereotypical "old maid."  My daughter is grown and lives in Portland, OR as a music teacher and her happiness is a bright light in my life.

Since I lost my job, other than job hunting, I walk my dog, workout, go to Weight Watchers and am working really hard on getting in shape.  I think it will give me more confidence to go out into the world again and rejoin life.
