i rarely drink anything except coffee, tea, carbonated water, or juice mixed with carbonated water
i hate talking on the phone <convenient that mine went missing!>
i'm afraid of carnival rides
i've been to 35 states
i talk a good game online but in person i'm much less outgoing

I would rather talk to you on the phone or in person because while the text and the computer are wonderful to much is lost is meaning when you cant at least hear the voice.

While I am not shy I am a lot more shy in real life then here at leas until I get to know you a little.

While I do love sports I do NOT love all sports and while I can have an excellent time with the guys screaming and getting into the game if a friend or the woman I am with needs me they WILL come first.

Music is very important to Me and while I have My favorite geners I will listen to almost anything. It is either the words, the rhythm, or that particular video that is speaking to Me.

I am far from perfect and some times it is easier to say things in written form but whether you are my friend and especially the woman I am with you will hear and see Me say the words "I love you" before you see them and damn sure before anyone else does. Those are three words I do not take lightly and that includes with people I call friends. Those words take time, whoever I say them to will see it in My eyes knowing it is true, and I have said them to very few but am not closed to saying to again. I still love the people I have said those words to.

1) I eat peanut butter without jelly most of the time.

2) I have uncluttered my life and given away most of my kitchen gadgets

3) I am a happy person, positive. And I love to motivate and encourage

4) I have always wanted freckles but my sister got them instead

5) I am so in love with chrissy...he is such a good person. Everyone here loves that he came into my life.

if someone says "let's have hot dogs for dinner "... I MUST be in the right mood for them because as a child of a mother that wasn't always functional, a lot of times the only thing my sister and I had to eat was frozen hot dogs (for several years, the stove didn't work and we could barely get to the fridge because of my mother's hoarding and her "shutting down" on us)... same goes for canned green beans because we HAD to eat them cold from the can.

After all these years and the many things I've gone through I've managed to keep a very tiny toy dog (a little white scotty that's a magnet) and a little mechanical lady bug.. that's two of my most prized possessions because my Gramma gave them to me to keep me busy and quiet at church. The scotty dog is so tiny I'm amazed it hasn't got lost like the little black one.

I love Galileo Thermometers!! their beauty and simplicity.

I love old fashioned Fire King kitchen-ware.. green or blue...but I don't have a collection. I admire from afar and put it on my wish list.

I hate my SHORT hair because it just always looks horrible with these dang curls ...but LOVE that it's much easier to shampoo and brush.

1. I use to be part of the community long time ago
2. I had to take a break from the community
3. I actually missed this community.
4. I don't think the community knows me yet.
5. I am afraid to come out to the community of who I am.

I really like fresh, soft, velvety basil leaves so I can just smell them or use them in recipe or make pesto.

I like the cool, crisp, morning air: especially if the clouds come very low and make everything very foggy, then mysteriously vanish into a very warm Fall afternoon.

I have been craving pretzels, almonds, oranges and apples lately (pesto, too).

I can't find my glasses: I usually leave them in one place specifically and as it is, they are not there. I have no idea where they could be.

I love quilts: I like how heavy they feel, how big they can be, and the artistic way they tell a story.

5 Things
 

1. One of my biggest pet peeves in the entire world is for someone to try to read over my shoulder.

2. If you read over my shoulder and then expect me to stop scrolling so that you can catch up or make a comment, I'll probably go into a blind rage.

3. Every night as I am falling asleep, I go into a meditative frame of mind and design living spaces in my head. I get caught on different things in my meditative state and might design living spaces while falling asleep for a few months and then a few months later I'll make lists over and over of what I'd do if I won the lottery as I'm falling asleep. One time I was stuck on choreographing dance routines but that one was keeping me awake with all the excitement and my legs would involuntarily twitch so I had to quit it and move on to loft spaces.

4. I'm a great house guest but a terrible hostess. (not very formal and tell folks if they want something, get it themselves - this is mainly because the folks that come to my house are family and I treat them as such)

5. My schedule is so tight these days that having an entire day to myself where I don't have to do anything for anyone else is a super duper luxury so I get real cranky if that gets interrupted with bullshit.

1 I lost 2 inches in height after my car accident. I recently regained a half an inch back

2 I dont like carving pumpkins. Innards gross me out

3 I love the way a relaxed bosom looks on older women. SOOO much more sexy than perky ones, if you ask me

4 I am no longer a jealous person. chrissy does not one thing to make me feel like I am second in his life. I am his FIRST and ONLY.

5 My kitchen cabinets are partially painted. I started them and then realized I didnt know what I was doing. LOL. So they sit...half done...

More!
 

1. I'm reading 3 books right now, have 3 different art projects going on, and am about to have a 3-day weekend. It's all about the 3's.

2. This is my favorite time of year. Love the crisp breezes and pumpkin-centric food!

3. If it were a choice between going to work naked for a day or having to eat a plate of liver and onions, I'd pick being naked.

4. We've changed the name of the stray cat who adopted us from "two-can Sam" to "Trashcan Sam" because he's taken to living and sleeping in the trash cans.

5. I'd rather see a zombie running toward me than an emu.

• I'm very spontaneous.
• I don't really need 3 strikes to detach once I see you're not the type of influence I want or need in my life.
• I love trees.
• I don't like clowns or mimes.
• I have a nail polish collection that's out of this world!!!

~Chattanooga is one of my favorite cities, period.
~I was a competitive chess player, though now "retired"
~(inspired by Duchess) I hate clutter, too. But I'm overcoming "hoarding lite", room by precious room. I'm reclaiming my life and space.
~My favorite part of the holidays are the tiny little twinkling lights at the River Market ice rink.
~I love football (American)
