I like coffee in bed

1. I have developed an acute addiction to my Keurig.

2. I have coffee every morning in one of three favorite cups: One that says "Keep Austin Weird", on that has a biggo picture of Wonderwoman on it, or one that says "Slut" across the front.

3. I (hopefully) just smoked my last cigarette of 2013.

4. One of my New Year's resolutions was to get more sleep. I must be a teenager because I slept in til 11 this morning and could go back for more.

5. Sometimes I sniff Gracie's head just to feel better.

1. I can be an amazing procrastinator.
2. Once I get something started, however, I work like a crazy person till its done.
3. I enjoy going to crowded places to "people watch".
4. I hate working while people sit around me and do nothing.
5. Even if the TV is on, I am probably not actually watching it.

1. I am a prepper. Not in the sense that one sees on the prepper television shows...no I do not have a steel bunker buried in my backyard. :| I simply try to stay stocked up on food items, (that will keep without electric) batteries, non-gmo heirloom seeds, and any other items one may need should an emergency happen... economic, weather or otherwise.

2. My new favorite hobby is bushcrafting, it goes hand in hand with my enjoyment of fishing and camping. I've learned many skills that enable me to make all sorts of stuff.

3. I want a Lodge dutch oven, the ones with the cast iron legs. This one:

4. Oh and I want a pressure cooker like this one:
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Mirro-92122A-Polished-Aluminum-Dishwasher/dp/B000RNH7PQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1SWM0TXIPRNM W&coliid=I3L7E36GTZ0SYO"]Amazon.com: Mirro 92122A Polished Aluminum Dishwasher Safe 22-Quart Pressure Cooker Canner Cookware, Silver: Kitchen & Dining[/ame] But first I have to get some work done on my pick up.

5. I really miss the mountains in NM, but not the cold winters. I really love the warm winters here in FL, but not the humid, hot summers. Go figure!

...the only make up I own are eyeliners and lip gloss...
...I am not a swimmer but I am a good board diver...
...I can walk for long periods of time...
...I used to be a classical and folkloric dancer...
...I enjoy a good game of chess even if I don't win...

Hmmmm...
 

Sense of accomplishment
 

1.. I dont really have a tangible sense of accomplishment for the 30 years I've been in my line of work...as in, I cant stand back hands on hips with puffed chest and say "I built that".

2.. I have to trust that in my 30 years I've made a positive contribution and a positive difference in my community.

3.. Anytime I can build, destroy, make, carve, do something "hands on" I'm all for it (that tangible sense of accomplishment thing again)

4.. I dont have a degree, but I have certificates of completion, certificates of training, certificates of instructor rating, certificates of merit, certificates of valor, certificates, certificates, certificates...

5.. Swinging a hammer is like worry beads for me, minus the occasional thumb strike. I love to build and just zen out, losing all track of time!
(tangible thingy again...)

1) I'm the only one in my set of siblings who is not named after a member of my family.

2) I used to be a very out-going person. I can be a very outgoing person when the ocassion calls for it, but mostly I'm a very quiet person, private in most things that are near and dear to my heart. I am not the same person people might think they remember me to be, which often takes them by surprise.

3) I think the one thing that earning a formal education did for me was to erase my naivete. In some ways, I wish I never learned what I know now. In other ways, I'm grateful for the expanded set of mental skills I now possess.

4) I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. If I had a piano, I'd probably spend more time making beautiful melodies; but for now, making scrumptious foods is where I find time to relax - where I'm most likely to find my inner sense of peace.

5) I miss taking off at a moments notice and driving down to the coast or wandering up toward the high desert or a spur of the moment road trip to see friends who no longer live locally.

1) I am not a fan of today's music. However, when I find something I like, REALLY like, I will buy the CD, play it over and over and over again until I get my fill of it, then put it on a shelf and forget about it. Thats why I almost never buy music.

2) By two separate former partners, I have been accused of being a workaholic and lazy. One is true.

3) My best lipstick color is in the mauve collection

4) I love magazines and think a gift subscription to a magazine is one of my fav things!

5) grape popsicles are the best in the box!

1) I love Sundays because I use them as an excuse to lounge around the house.

2) I love brightly coloured lipsticks. Bright reds and pinks, mostly.

3) I feel awkward when I go out to nightclubs because I don't really drink that much, and don't enjoy being drunk.

4) People (friends, lovers, randoms on the street) always tell me really personal things really quickly. I don't know why this happens, but I don't really mind.

5) I'm considering dropping iPhone and switching to an Android phone.

At night, I wish my dogs a good night rest and sweet puppy dreams.
At night, I always tell my wife I'm thankful for her.
At night, I drink sleepy tea.
At night, I water pic my teeth with hydrogen peroxide
At night, I watch food network for 30 minutes.

I love going barefoot any time of year, but hate my feet cold...

I perfer pecans much better than peanuts ..unless it's chocolate covered peanuts ..

I don't wear much jewelry ever, unless it's a special piece with special meaning ...

I like egg gravy much better than sausage gravy...

I miss going to the Smithsonian and Air & Space museum ...

I'm actually quite quiet in person unless I know you. Even then, I may be quiet still.
I'm not quick to anger.
I'd rather go for a walk at 2 AM than during the day time.
I'm very literal.
I'm extremely book smart.

MMMMmm I love Orange and hat shoes and socks too :)-

I think constantly about everything-but not in a stressful way, my head just goes.
I am the most secure in life I have ever been despite my current circumstances
I am 5'11" and 195-205 lbs
I LOVE TO LOVE
I am quite detached from things outside of the bigger journey of my spirit I believe the term is EQUANIMITY!
:canadian::praying::deepthoughts:

...I am very affectionate...
...my favorite place to read is in the garden in a hammock...
...I cry sometimes for reasons only my heart knows...
...I was a sprinter and a cross country runner....
...I like to take long hot showers...

I want to grow my hair out, but afraid I'll be misgendered
I like romantic comedies
I prefer green chili over red
I prefer little boobies over big boobies
I get nervous to think about working again, since I've been in school for 3 years (fulltime).
