I am married with two teenage daughters and live in Willmar, MN. I am a radiologist. I was born and raised in Michigan and attended Michigan State University for both college and med school. I have four dogs, but I keep them away from my stuff and I make sure no dog hair is being sent with my items. I keep a very clean house, but let me know if you have any allergies.

I enjoy reading, traveling, knitting, bookgroups, and shopping! With two teenage daughters, the shopping never stops!! Nor does the drama, the hand-wringing and the worrying. My husband is a writer, a Navy commander and an electrical engineer by training. He is co-author of a series of books called The Two-Space Wars, with Dave Grossman. I also have two step-sons, both of whom graduated from Virgina Tech two years ago and are in the Air Force and Marines respectively. We have 4 dogs, a cat, a Macaw and three hamsters. Things are never boring around our house!!

I love all kinds of music. My favorites are probably classic rock and jazz. I like the great singers like Shirley Bassey, Streisand, Judy Garland, Mel Torme, Tony Bennett, etc. a lot as well. There isn't much in the way of music I don't like.

I have been an avid reader all my life. Lately I have been doing a lot of reading on atheism and religion and philosophy, but I also like true crime, literary fiction, mysteries and courtroom thrillers. I will try just about any kind of book, though. I used to host bookgroups online many years ago, including an Oprah group.

I like comedy, drama, horror and adventure about equally. I also like sci-fi. I don't care for really, really long movies as I can get distracted.

Don't watch much TV, just Desperate Housewives, American Idol, Hell's Kitchen and Tru TV when I can, and basketball. I am a huge basketball fan. My team is the Detroit Pistons. My entire game room is decorated in Pistons stuff. The walls are blue and my pool table is a matching royal blue. Yeah, I am a fanatic. Go STATE!

Knitting, silk flower arranging, photography. I used to collect dolls and have a couple hundred but don't really do that anymore. I also used to collect model cars.

Things I would love to get anytime are:

anything to do with the Detroit Pistons caramels, especially the chewy kind, books of any kind, things from other states, countries, etc., especially local to the sender, clothes for three small dogs..one 12 pounds, the other 20, but short, and the other still a pup candles...can never have too many anything to do with knitting, especially beaded markers and other cool accessories, knitting mags
