Profile

I'm Deb. I'm 44, and live in Portland, Oregon, with my wife/partner of 19.5 years. Current 4-legged census is five cats and two rabbits. I have a 6-year-old grandson, and a 6-month-old granddaughter.

I am a Realtor. I love finding people homes they love. Seriously, I love my work and I haven't always been able to say that. I also make and sell spiced (also called pickled) peaches and drinking vinegars. Ask me, they're delicious.

I don't read as many books as I used to, but I read magazines all the time: Sunset, Mental Floss, Budget Travel, Country Life, American Road, Newsweek, Portland Monthly. I love to garden, and to cross-stitch. I like sunshine and snow and fall colors and hot summers. I don't like cold grey clouds and rain, at least not on a regular basis.

I am really good at starting things and not so good at finishing them, I'm easily distracted and get bored quickly, and I tend to obsess for a while and then completely lose interest. I can be judgmental although I try not to be mean, and I'm usually hardest on myself. I'm a pretty optimistic person. My spirituality tends to the pagan with some buddhism thrown in. The older I get, the less tolerant of bullshit I find myself.

I also hate writing bios, but this isn't too bad.
