I root for the White Sox, Bears, Bulls, Fire, and Hawks. I crave pizza, hot dogs, sliders, and beef sandwiches.
I cook. I travel. I do one more than the other, but I'm always up for tasting new flavors and exploring new places. If you don't try, how will you know?
I like to dance it out. And play music. Coloring is fun. I laugh with Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me and I miss Prairie Home Companion. A good cup of coffee while reading the news is a welcome respite.
If I were on sabbatical, I would transcribe my books for digital press. I miss writing. www.kristinamattis.com

My three kids are my priority. I ultimately live for them.
