Law, reading, writing, quiet time alone, social time with friends. I love to play chess (a little exercise for the brain). And if you're a wine connoisseur, I'd LOVE to hear a recommendation!

It is not possible to name just one great book! Satanic Verses (Salman Rushdie), The Count of Monte Cristo (Alexandre Dumas), The Plot Against America (Philip Roth - love him), The Time-Traveler's Wife (Audrey Nefenegger), Interpreter of Maladies (Jhumpa Lahiri) - the list could go on forever! Anything that makes me think, feel, or introduces me to a new perspective is on my must-read list. I am taking reccomendations if you have one!

These lists could go on forever! Searching for Bobby Fisher, Dead Poets Society, The Color Purple, American History X, O Brother Where Art Thou, Sense & Sensibility, An Ideal Husband, Shawshank Redemption, Life is Beautiful, Lord of the Rings, Monty Python, Memento, The Butterfly Effect -- there are more. Ask me!

All kinds ... not so hot for country though.

I've got a soft spot in my heart for Cosby reruns, I HAVE to shout out the answers during Jeopardy!, and the Fab 5 Queer Eye boys are high on the list.

I became an attorney June 1, 2004 (got bar resutls 05/21/04) and, after a short stint with steady work (and an even steadier heartache), I quit my job and set out my own shingle. I have worked with a lot of really grerat attorneys and began teaching bar review with the principals of the Bar Secrets program. (If you're a law student or attorney preparing for the Bar Exam, check out the website -- www.barsecrets.com). Great people work there!

I'm ALWAYS up for a friendly debate - I can't help it, it's in my nature! I do Tae Bo, Pilates, resistance training, and ride my bike trainer while watching Jeopardy! and shouting out the answers (whether or not I really know them). I get regular dental exams, I always vote, I like to shop online, and I keep in contact with people I have known for more than a decade. I also love to travel, I love to be with friends, and I love taking pictures! Say cheese! I ALWAYS enjoy a good bottle of wine. (I deny it when my friends call me a wine snob, but I think maybe I am one after all...)

I need to find a boyfriend -- which is challenging for me because I'm a great gal but not so easy on the eyes. I need to find someone who can see I'm beautiful inside. (You might have to look hard.) And, of course, new friends are always a treasure, and so hard to find. Anyone who has the winning lotto numbers - feel free to let me know what they are.
