| Introduction | I'm a proud Masshole, moonlighting in the Foreign Service and living on a whim and a prayer in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I love to SMOOSH! Mad Maggie-delicous (puppy so tasty!), read, watch movies, hike, travel, and eat. This blog? It keeps me in touch, and it keeps me sane. |
| Interests | Traveling, reading, hiking, scrapbooking, good meals, traffic lights (but only when they’re green), ice cream, Thanksgiving, surprises (the good kind), movies, sarcasm, and mind-numbingly bad television programming. |
