Magnify

My work: Mornings I work at Paw Purri for Pets on Folly Road, afternoons I teach voice lessons at Music Unlimited in Mount Pleasant, and in the evenings I perform at local pubs and restaurants, I love it all.

My hometown: A small town called Kinnelon in New Jersey-many mountains, small lakes, and national hiking trails.

I'm thinking about: Letting everything go and becoming a pirate.

What keeps me awake at night: Thinking and thinking and thinking and more thinking.

I am guilty of: Not keeping in touch with my sister well enough.

Right now I'm reading:The Four Agreements and Reflections of the Christ Mind.

The one item that has changed my life: A cell phone-I don't know if it's good or bad, but definitely changed.

Favorite web site: The Bank of America website-I'd be lost without it. I am horrible at keeping track of my money (which I don't have much of).

Last major purchase: A trip to Hawaii.

If I could do it all over again: I wouldn't.

My favorite body part: Neck.

The food I could eat every day: Biscuits.

The most important thing I ever lost: When I was little, I lost my rabbit's foot keychain and it broke my heart. I can deal with everything else.

The best thing I ever won: The love of someone very special to me.

I still can't get the hang of: Controlling my emotions when I am overrun with passion. This drives me nuts.

I wish I'd known: How to recognize when people are trying to manipulate or take advantage of you. I know now.

I'd like to learn to: Do tricks on a skateboard and paint better.

The worst idea I've ever had: Getting really drunk before a gig.

The smartest woman I know: My mom.

My first job: At "Taste of Reality," the local deli. I made the best sandwiches.

What are you most vain about? I don't know. Maybe someone should tell me.

Never... Take things personally.

I wish… The people I care about most would all find happiness with themselves and in their lives.
