Personality

I get around town via: Car, Bicycle, Public transportation

Passport required, shoes optional

And in this corner of readermatchlandia you'll find a thoughtful, kind, easy-going, fun-loving, funny (occasionally hilarious), sporty chick looking for a partner in crime. My work days are spent with children, counseling, encouraging, advocating, giving many hugs, playing with playdough, and in general trying to teach them skills to be successful little humans. I'm extremely dedicated to my work, which can be pretty intense, so I am also dedicated to balancing it out by having as much fun as possible in my free time. I enjoy playing and watching sports, frolicking outside, reading, playing with my amazing nephews, organizing parties or events, running, and dreaming and planning my next travel adventure and/or service trip. I've been to some pretty cool places in the world (Guatemala, Nepal, Colombia most recently) and plan to continue feeding my very hungry travel bug. Just booked a trip to hike Machu Picchu next June!

I don't have a cookie cutter of a match that I'm looking for, but I believe that some sort of an intelligent, passionate, athletic gent who finds a balance between enjoying life and working hard to make the world a better place would be a good fit for me. It would be a blast if it were someone who enjoys observing and discussing how things and people work, and gives me a run for my money in board games, political discussions, and the sports field. Got game?

Essay

The best thing about Chicago is: the variety of things to do, places to go, people to hang out with. And a wide variety of seasons in which to enjoy them.

My most embarrassing moment was when: I mistakenly called my gyno when I thought I was calling my dentist, and started the appointment-making process by apologetically saying I was "overdue for a cleaning..."

My favorite physical activity is: just one? Favorites are field and ice hockey, running, walking, soccer, swimming, some others...

One thing I love that everyone else hates is: washing dishes

If I could have a dinner party and invite any four people, dead or alive, the guest list would be: Barack Obama, Ellen Degeneres, my cousin Ben Franklin, and Bill Ayers.

My favorite Chicago haunts are: Will's, Brauhaus, Old Town School of Folk Music, Four Moons, Village Tap, lakefront path, Winnemac Park, many more...

The first thing I do when I wake up is: press snooze for a loooong time, wish I had woken up early enough for a run, pour a cup of coffee

My radio dial is usually tuned to: XRT or NPR

On a Saturday night you will likely find me: out and about, or hosting a shindig. Definitely doing something fun that involves a combination of music, friends, and beer or wine.

The last concert I went to was: hopefully already outdated by the next concert I went to see...
