Family
Parents: My parents are wonderful people. With all their children out of the house, they live alone with two dogs. One is Calbert; the other is a new puppy from Australia. He is a Labradoodle. No, I'm not kidding. He's an adorable mix between a Labrador and a Poodle. Strange mix, but they're incredibly cute. My father is a lawyer and my mother is a Realtor. I know they like that their three children visit often. They are grandparents to my nephew, and soon-to-be grandparents to a new baby expected in early August. You may still wonder, "What is a labradoodle?" Check out this link: Labradoodle
Sister: My older sister is married with one two-year-old. He's terrific, and he keeps us all very busy. My sister is expecting another child this August; she does not know what she's having. She and her husband are both lawyers. They have a beautiful home with plenty of toys for the kid(s). BULLETIN: My sister had her baby; here's the information: Sydney
Brother: My younger brother is a soon-to-be doctor. He works very hard in various rotations, but his heart is in pediatrics. He recently got engaged to a wonderful woman we all adore. She is studying to become a special education teacher. They are going to be married next March, and they couldn't be more excited.
Me: I almost forgot. I am the middle child currently typing this page. I teach fourth grade in Chicago. You will soon learn more about me as you read on...

Career

I am also involved with a Jewish charity organization called JAFAH (Jewish-American Foundation for the Advancement of Humanity). Click on the link to see what it's all about: JAFAH.org
Writing was my concentration in college, so I must always find time to write for fun. I am currently working on a fiction book for high school students. When it's available to purchase, I'll let you know!

Hobbies
I am a proud dog owner of a 40-pound Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier. His name is Mookie. I consider him a hobby of mine because he takes up a lot of my time. We take lots of walks and play around. These types of dogs are wonderful for those with allergies since they don't shed, and they are terrific with children. Read about this breed of dog by clicking these links:

I love going to, and renting movies. I enjoy all genres, from horrors to comedies. When I am not watching a popular, recently released movie, I rent older movies, often times classics, that I haven't seen. I usually go to the American Film Institute web site and look at their lists to have an idea for what I'm looking when I go to Blockbuster.

Keeping in shape is extremely important to me. While I don't run or do as much as I used to, I still walk quite a lot with Mookie or alone. I eat healthily and try to take care of my body. Click here to read some benefits of exercising:
