I live in the San Francisco Bay Area

I have a guy, two dogs and a cat, but no kids.

A guilty pleasure of mine is definitely chick lit. I also like pretty much anything by David Sedaris, Augusten Burroughs, and Anna Maxted.

Some other books I've liked: Franny and Zooey, Ham on Rye, King Suckerman, One Hundred Years of Solitude

I'm also a bit of a magazine junkie.

My Animals

I always appreciate receiving things for my animals.

I have two Boxers, one female, one male. They love toys (just no plushies!), gourmet or homemade treats, collars, and pretty much anything else dog related.

I also have one cat. She doesn't care for treats, but always loves some catnip or a good toy I can hang off her perch and out reach of the dogs!

Ratings

I vow to rate promptly and fairly and I really appreciate my partners who do the same.

I always try to put thought into my swaps and send them out on time. If for any reason you don't receive a swap I send please let me know because I will happily resend it.

Comment: Love the package! At first, I was a little disappointed when I got a partner in the US, but the San Francisco treats (no Ricearoni - ha!) made up for that. Thanks!
Response: Yay! I'm glad you liked it. I was at a loss over what to get you that would be different from what you see every day. Good call on the Rice-a-Roni :) Although if I got someone in a different country I would have been REALLY tempted to send it!

Comment: I'm really sorry, but i don't think the parcel met the requirements. I don't think they are kitschy in any way - i didn't like them at all. Sorry. I've changed my rating to 5 as you did send the items with good faith, and i don't want to be mean :-)
Response: I'm still sorry you didn't like the figurines, but I appreciate you changing your rating. Thank you!

Hey, I just went and joined the Party in the Lava pit swap. I mean....now that we all got tickets, we might as well get some more info on our future accomodations. And I want more of the fun! Are you joining again, too?

xine on Mar 21, 2009:

I just tasted the watermelon gummy... it's perfect, a bit sour and absolutely watermelony. Thank you thank you!!!! I think I'm addicted. If you are ever up for as private swap, let me know.

Kugusch on Mar 17, 2009:

Hi! Thanks for the wonderful rating you left me, I'm glad it made it to you and you like it. What a fun project that was!!! Isn't the "brew" the coolest (well, hottest) thing?
