About Jenny...

I am married (7/7/7!) and have a little beagle named Dottie. I also love to cook and bake, and I'm definitely not a girly girl. I live in Southern California, but lived a few years in the San Francisco bay area, and am born and raised in Hawaii. I am an Asian American. I love traveling and love all types of cultures and food. (My husband and I went to Italy for our honeymoon last September!) I love baking, cooking, and eating! I love food so much that i've made it my job to protect it (i work as an Agriculture Specialist for the federal government). so, being an aggie, i love bugs, plants, and animals. and, i have a pet tarantula named piggie. :)

and just to explain my user name: hippofairy... if a hippo had a fairy what would she look like? a manatee! i think manatees are beautiful. and i love hippos so what could be a better name?

and i love swapping! I'm on Swap-bot.com with the user name: hippofairy.

As far as postcards, i'd love to get some view cards or map cards from your area/country. or a photo you took yourself. :) PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME FREE AD CARDS.

If you send me 2 postcards, i will send you one in return. :)
