About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Give & Recieve Info on BARGAINS & Facilitate FUN

ABOUT ME

I have the undeniable privlege of working with kids in a format where I have a chance to witness and participate in their journey to become stronger. Mentally, Physically and Spiritually. What a GIFT!! Me....I try to stay young at heart, I have always been crazy about music and adventure.
Due to economic challenges, I have become quite adept at finding bargains and discounts on about everything. Of course there are garage sales, flea markets, thrift stores and craigslist....but I love the unknown good deals...such as .....a complete physical with 3 blood tests for 80.00.....I mean...Who can frickin afford a Dr.? or medical insurance? NOT ME...not yet anyway....But the place was........(Drum Roll).......
PLANNED PARENTHOOD...and I'm not even pregnant

PHILOSOPHY

Live and Let Live,
PACK YOUR TRASH:
LEAVE IT CLEANER THEN YOU FOUND IT
Be Here Now (its so ez to forget)
Do unto others as you would...etc....

For those adventerous souls Wilder Ranch Mountain bike ride with Epic Monterey Bay Views...and for you adrenaline junkies ..hit the 10 ft steamer lane waves(just dont piss off the local boys)...world class kiteboarding at Waddell Creek..or committ suicide on a 50ft wave at Mavericks ...up the coast....Its up to you....Actually there are many relaxing things in Santa Cruz...great beaches..hiking...music...shopping....spiritual pursuits....endless new age voodoo around here too!
