RG 34, San Francisco, CA

Summertime is finally here!!! I'm excited about truly experiencing my first full summer in the Bay Area. I also finally have friends (in the area, not in general).

I have random musical taste, last month I've been going back and forth between MY MORNING JACKET and KEITH URBAN (yes, odd)

I have fallen in love with BART.

I want to own a black lab someday and name him "reggie"


I work for eBay Inc and specifically, eBay Giving Works, though my views and blogs are not representative of either. Though I do love my job!

ESPN's Mike & Mike in YOUR living room! July 2 2008 at 11:31 AM

I hardly ever get super jazzed about most auctions, because I've seen just about everything and I'm generally happy that all these auctions are benefiting nonprofits around the country.

When I was young, I was not a girl who collected dolls. I also wasn't a boy who collected dolls (G.I.Joe does not count, right?). But I do have a niece, and I do have colleagues who LOVE the American Girl books. And this Wednesday, "Kitt Kittredge: An American Girl" will hit theaters.

From the mail bag....Yahoo!, Email, Soccer moms and RIGHT TO PLAY June 29 2008 at 10:20 AM

I read somewhere that the average American has something like 2 email addresses per person, or maybe that was cars? Not to derail my post, we'll all agree that it's the 2 email addresses. Well, if you are one of those people who does not have at least 2, NEVER FEAR, Yahoo! has come to your rescue!

The listing of the day... June 24 2008 at 7:01 PM

So EVERYONE who works with me knows that I am addicted to Keith Urban. I’ve blogged and made reference to him numerous times. I don't consider myself a true country fan by any stretch, and I don't think I have actually ever programmed a country music channel on any preset. Anyways, back to Keith...the... More

@Kjava08 Are you doing anything fun for your birthday?

Posted 3 days ago to Buy lip gloss; make a smile

Hmm, not sure if I dig Tinsley Mortimer, but happy that a % of the sale of these are going to Operation Smile. It's pretty sad when you read about how many children are born with these types of deformities in the world. Kudos to Dior for doing this!

@akmcquade SHUT IT ;-)

Posted 4 days ago to Everyone Loves Giving with the Simpsons! Even Flanders!

@am First off, you being from Springfield makes everything so much "clearer" now ;-)

2nd, I am going to say it's "deliciously clever" that Katie made that connection, but I'm going to challenger her to come up with something clever and witty for this:
