When not at the Bovine, she actually enjoys her day job. Vivian loves cheesecakes, rum and diet coke with a lime (don't forget the lime!), and a good glass of red wine, even if it gives her migraines. She thanks the Bovine Community and sends big hugs to Tony, her friends, and her scattered-all-over family.
