Intro pt. 2

I'm Amy, the second half of the dynamic duo. I am also 27, though about 1/2 a year younger so I've actually known Jessica for proportionately more of my life than she's known me (competition is the name of the game, people!).

I live in Sacramento, CA with my boo, Austin, my little fuzzy boos, Samson (Sammy) and Delilah (LiLi, Lilers for short), and our fair fishy Phil (short for Landfill).

I just graduated from law school in May, and am currently working for the Public Defender's Office. I always figured I'd go into environmental law (my hippie track record is immaculate, see below), but too much paperwork makes for a quick career change, lemme tell ya! My work will probably not be a topic of much conversation around these parts, but the depressing nature of some of it makes it critical that I develop my hobbies.

I have always loved cooking... when I was a junior in high school I took over the shopping and cooking duties for my family. It was also around that time that I became vegetarian. I'm not so much an animal-rights/health-nut... vegetarianism just seemed to fit into my general tree-hugging, dirt-worshiping disposition.

I continually reconsider my dietary habits, wondering if the way I'm eating is the healthiest choice for me and the environment. Last year I was considering going full vegan, and this year I'm debating going whole hog (!) into omnivorism. Likely nothing will change -- but I guess it just illustrates how important balance and being purposeful are to me. Running themes, if you will.

I also ache to be crafty. Unfortunately, I have the patience of a toddler, so all my projects never seem to leave the drawing board in my brain (cuz I definitely have never gotten around to actually making one of them there drawing board things), but with the advent of Pinterest, and now this blog, my attention-deficit self finds hope that maybe, just maybe, I too can create a chandelier out of all of those mason jars I've been impulsively collecting.

ooh! CATS!

There really is no hope for me, is there? Ah well - in the very least, it should be interesting...
