Biggest pet peeves?

People who go out of their way to be cruel and mean-spirited. Even bigger pet peeve: when they try to justify it by saying, “I’m just being honest.” Honesty is a virtue. Boorish behavior, not so much.

Coffee Preference?

Single Venti iced, non-fat, sugar-free vanilla latte. Yes, I’m one of those people.

Favorite Sports teams?

I am a hometown girl so I always root for the home teams, so the Seahawks, Mariners and Sounders.

Most embarrassing song you love?

I say, unabashedly and without an ounce of irony—so I guess I’m not embarrassed by the choice after all—“Making Love Out of Nothing At All” by Air Supply.
