Thanks for coming!!!

About Me

I'm a thinker so I like to be around those who like to think also. I like to eat extra sharp cheddar cheese, drink Minute Maid Lemon-Aid (together it's a good combo) and lounge on the couch watching silly people live "life" on TV. When I'm not doing that I'm working on some new design for my jewelry, singing in the choir, hanging out with friends and experiencing new things. I like people around me that are open to doing different things because at any moment I might want to go to a museum, hear some poetry or live music, hit up an amusement park, travel to different places, see the fall foliage, go bowling or skating, eat a taco, go salsa dancing or even sketch a nude model.I love life, the ups and downs of it, and I'm a very positive thinker so those with negative attitudes towards life are usually not in my circle. I love to smile because not only does it make ME feel good, it makes OTHERS feel good. Usually I'm smiling regardless of what's happening in my life. One thing that I'm working on is patience because usually once I'm done with you, I'm done and I don't necessarily know if that's a good way to handle relationships. I love the fact that I'm a forgiving person and when people take advantage of that and continue the antics I tend to not be as forgiving. I cut you off and usually you won't know why. I'm working on effectively communicating how I'm feeling and not cutting them off, but placing them in the category where they belong for that point in time.Because I live alone now, I'm starting to actually enjoy cooking lol. It's not that I couldn't cook before, I just didn't really do it because Mommy did it lol. My specialties are baked mac and cheese and curry pork chops baked in a butter wine sauce. Mmmmmmm lol. My turkey wings are on point too. I'm trying to build up the repertoire so that I can do Thanksgiving at my place this year and give my mom a break.All in all, I'm a very loving, sensitive, down to earth person who likes to move forward in life and see new things. I have my flaws, as we all do, but I'm a work in progress and I'm NOWHERE near the person that I used to be. Peace!!!
