I always have a hard time with “About Me” sections- I either don’t really say anything or I mention every possible thing about me. That right there tells you a little about my personality- I’m a very all or nothing type of girl lol…

Anyways, the basics, I am 28 yrs old, I live in a small city (which seems a lot like a small town) in western new york. I am recently single and going thru a very transistional point in my life. I moved out of the house that I had planned on buying and into a small, but gorgeous, apartment. I am quite happy in my new home. I work in a call center (not so fun, but the pay and the hours are good) and I will soon be starting school to work on my Bachelor’s in Marketing and Management. I have a degree in child development and one in counseling and after several years of working in the field, i realized that is not what i want to do. I know with all of my heart the only thing that is ever going to make me happy career wise is to open up my own bakery/cafe someday, so a business degree just makes sense. (I can bake and cook quite well, but I am not so business minded) I am very very excited about this endeavor. I look forward to working in the field for a few years before I am able to open up my own business. I feel i have finally found the right path for myself and am ready to go full steam ahead.

When I do have free time I enjoy many many things…. early morning, late night,catching fireflies, cooking, eating delicious and healthy food and decadent desserts, going to the gym, measuring time by mugs of tea, caring for my home,picking strawberries while wearing a straw hat, drinking wine, sitting by the water, getting lost in a book, reading magazines, laughing, practicing yoga, being inspired, picking wild flowers, looking thru old photographs, daydreaming, exercise, watching my dog play, hiking, meeting up with my girls for cocktails or sushi, jumping on trampolines, doing laundry (weird, i know), laughing at absolutely nothing until my stomach hurts, people watching, making a difference, inspiring others, dancing with my niece, hoola hooping, trying new recipes, campfire philosophy, hanging out with my grams, learning about myself and growing,listening to live music, thrift shops, garage sales and rummage sales, watching the food network with rapt attention whenever i get a chance to be somewhere with cable, grocery shopping,the farmer’s market, environmentalism, loving my life, loving my friends, loving my family, just loving, being me, learning new things, remembering old things, everyday adventures, discovering new things in my home town, being happy….

Any questions? Just ask.
