I am a lover of stories in all forms, especially the ones in my head. I think cats are great--their casual attitude about everyday things is what I strive for. 

I collect all things books, rescuing them from garage sales and Goodwill purgatory to a comfy forever home in my library. When I'm not working, reading, or watching the latest show, I paint, run, and root for the Oregon Ducks. Oh, and food. Hence the running.
