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!

Today is a good day...

If you include what I am writing about this second, I have thought about my ex a total of about 3 times today, therefore; today is a good day.
When all of this first started to transpire it was impossible not to think of him every second of every day! I wanted to call him allll the time. He was what was so familiar to me for 6 years.
It's hard to break routines, but I feel I am well on my way.

My best friend is coming over tonight. She and I are going to have a nice, heatlhy dinner, and hopefully some fun girl talk. My house has gone from being a "nest egg" to a sorority of sisters. My dog is female, my rabbit is female, and anyone who enters this house is also female, and I like it just like that!

I had a "Tastefully Simple" party last Saturday (with only women, of course) and it was wonderful! I love to have special get-togethers and will find any excuse to do so!

As I sit here writing this I seem to hear some sort of sizzling and smell a slight hint of smoke...for those of you wondering, this is not a good sign...

be right back....

Okay, it's official, the house is still in good standing. :)

My chicken started to sizzle and my cheese sauce was sticking and slightly burned on the bottom, but all is well and we are enjoying our yummy pasta!

Being extremely indecisive came from being raised by parents that were the same way. I'm really a lot better now because I asked God to help me with my decision making. I ask for his help in all things small and large.
