Tidbits about Carrie

I love peanut butter and pickles, together. • When I’m not writing, I’m shuttling three ski racers to the mountain. If I’m lucky, I ski too. • Don’t hate me, but I hate barking dogs. • A good day? Skiing with my family in deep, deep powder, coming home to a pot of spaghetti, and a bottle of red. Unless, I’m snorkeling around an island. • My secret fantasy involves singing in a rock and roll band. Too bad I can’t carry the tune to Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. • Once, when I waited tables, I got yelled at for serving cheese with holes in it. When I told him it was Swiss cheese, he told me he believed in America • I love New York City and the Tunisian desert. • I can’t think of anything better than the smell of an old book • I believe in Quantum physics (whatever that means), living in the moment, laughing hard, caring for others, being involved, and eating movie popcorn with lots of butter.
