I'm currently focusing on 3 major areas in my life:
1. CAREER: Architect / Interior Designer I'm developing my innate skills in design, form, color, and function by returning to university. Ideally, my clients should personally identify with their new spaces and as a result, become totally comfortable in their finished project. The philosophy of "understanding leading to contentment" is essential to the design process. Therefore, esthetically and functionally, design is everything! I'm interested in partnering with an established design firm, to further our growth and to hone my skills.
2. FITNESS: Or, as hottie athlete Jeremy Bloom would say, It's not fitness, it's life! So, to help that along...I'd like to find a workout partner for weight lifting and cardio, and especially biking. Since I'm doing the Aids Lifecycle Bike Marathon, SF to LA, & the Hawaii Paradise ride, I need a training partner!
3. PERSONAL GROWTH: Strengthen my circle of friends, and enrich my life by enriching the life of others. Since you can't choose your family, ultimately your friends can be the best thing you've got. I'm also long-term relationship focused -- looking to find my "best man" (or husband some day!) Essential: communication, honestly, affection, fitness and stability.
Above all, be spontaneous, love life, kiss great, love grandly.

Me and my 7-lb. pup, "Killer".
This is my ultra low-maintenance, super-quiet (non-barking), super-tiny 3-year old dog. What a very low-key dog I've got! She likes nothing more than to stay on my bed, in my room, all day, and sleep!. No wandering around the house for her... She prefers it quiet, so I even close the bedroom door for her. She's easy to love, very sweet and affectionate.
I have NEVER heard ONE bark out of her, and she doesn't bite/nip, or otherwise cause a fuss. Thinks she's a low-maintenance cat (sleeps all day and doesn't mess the house) and is smaller than most cats! She was a "backyard breeder" dog that had been abused and thrown from a car, so I got to rescue her, show her some luv.
Her real name is "Millie". Kinda got her by accident. When I saw her on Petfinder.com, she looked like a miniature Doberman Pinscher in her photo--brown and tan and vicious! When I went to see her, I saw how inaccurate photos can be. But she was so, uh, sweet and cute that I took her home anyways. In a couple of days she had cast her spell--I was a goner!
She's a Papillion / Terrier mix, "papillion" is french for butterfly, which is what her ears look like--butterfly wings. But she's also tough--for a 7-pounder! She has tons of terrier in her since she loves to hunt and has to sniff everything. I'll often wake up and find her standing on my chest looking down at me and smelling my breath!
