Avid runner, voracious reader, aspiring writer, and multimedia junkie

My ThisNext manifesto: Good design. New colors. Clean solutions. A sense of humor. I look for all of these qualities in both the people and the products I choose to embrace. And I am always looking. In magazines, on the web, in stores, on other people or in their homes. I ask lots of questions when I find something I like. Where was it made ? How was it made ? Does it last ? Will it make me or someone else giggle ? Will it contribute to a good human or environmental cause ? Is is child friendly ? Will I want to read it again and again and again ? And, thanks to a very eclectic undergraduate education, my aesthetic and intellectual interests are all over the globe. I love yoga and running. High heels and Bean boots. Jeans and jewelry. Email and snail mail. The super cute (i.e. Hello Kitty !) and the super chic (i.e. Chanel). Although I am a Mac user, I still drool over some of the options available within the PC universe. Although I am a vegetarian, I appreciate the value of perfectly grilled steak. Although I am a girl, I know the difference between a five-yard penalty and a personal foul. And, since I am a mother, I always like to take consider the world from a child's point of view.
