Today was a bittersweet day. On my way to class I stopped and checked the mail. My official divorce decree was awaiting my arrival.
As weird as it seems to say it, I am now a "single" woman.
This has both its perks and its downsides.
One of the perks being that I don't have to cook dinner if I don't feel like it :)...but one of the downsides being I don't have someone to hold me tight when I need it the most. There is just something about marriage that you can't possibly understand unless you've been there. No matter the good, the bad, and the ugly, it was still a marriage.
A unity.
A companionship.
And until you've been there and done that you will think I am crazy for holding onto any part of it.
On a much lighter note, I have decided on a name for my rabbit (I think).
What better of a name to coincide with my dog Ginger than the name of yet another thing I cook with? I think it's precious and the two go well together. So, I think it's official, "SAGE" it is...
Eventually all the pieces will fall into place, until then... LAUGH at the confusion, LIVE for the moment and know that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON...
Hello there!
These are the tales of a single-again, 20-something-year-old, "sassy chef". I am on the road to self-(RE)discovery after the devastation of my divorce. I want to know who I am, what I want out of life, and how to get it. Things may be hard right now, but the show must go on, so I have decided to blog about every second of it. Who needs a therapist anyways, when I have you guys?!? :)
So, here I am...
Let me start off by saying...I feel that a LOT of people truly misunderstand me, but those that get me REALLY get me...
I am easy to confide in, trustworthy, and can keep a secret for ages! Once you win me over you have a friend for a lifetime...it's just winning me over that's the struggle, for I am not easily impressed...
WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT...
I struggle with being too up front with people. I usually don't know when to keep my opinons to myself until it's too late. This is something I have had to mindfully and continuously work on throughout my life and it is still a work in progress.
I can be extremely indecisive in just about every aspect that one's life can cover, swinging back and forth quite frequently, but once I have made up my mind, that's it! It is made up!
I am quite OCD about certain quirky things, such as hanging all of my clothes in a color coordinated fashion, turning the volume on the radio only to increments of 5, and cursing those that don't shut the shower curtain, among other weird things that I don't know how to get over.
I have a witty, or just plain sarcastic, sense of humor that a lot of people don't get unless they know me...my life is like one big inside joke and you may never know why I am laughing. Or why I say the things I say. But I have my reasons. Trust me, I'm not crazy :)
I have a BIG heart and am very compassionate toward others. If only a girl could have the time and financial freedom to live off volunteer work alone!
I LOVE to cook and if you ask me, that is about the only true talent or creativity I posess, though my mom would say differently because all moms are supposed to.
I am obsessed with sour gummy worms and popcorn flavored jelly beans, but am not really big into too many other sweets.
The sounds of a ferocious thunderstorm lull me into the best nights of sleep and I am an early riser by choice and by circumstance, but definitely not by nature.
Lastly, but not least... I serve an AWESOME God and I desire to be close to Him more than anything else in this world!!! He is my EVERYTHING!

My thought of my X's are usually negative, What I need is a lobotomy which would take some of the bad memories away.
