    celebrating the gift of singleness

    i don't know about you guys, but sometimes i grow a bit weary of the focus some singles place on how incomplete their lives are, and all that they're missing out on. of course, we all have those feelings from time to time. i want to shine a spotlight on the positives that come from being...

    Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

    oh, i almost forgot. early this morning when i was retrieving some things from my shed, i found *this* having breakfast. i thought it was super cool, so i had to take a picture. as much as i hate spiders in my house, when they're outside, i think they're pretty cool. much more so than bees.

    Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

    is it pi(e) day or thigh day? mine are killing me, but in the very best way. there's not many better feelings than being entirely spent. since it was sort of dark (overcast) for pictures, i'm sharing ones from another day and some i didn't take. so, i went hiking today at one of my (easily)...

    chai tea

    one thing i adore is having a pot of chai tea on the stove while i'm working at home in chilly weather. the combination of fragrant spices, a bit of caffeine kick and the warmth of holding a hot cup of chai in my hand make it my favorite pick-me-up either mid morning or afternoon. Masala...

    age differences in relationships

    since you are all so good at giving insightful feedback, i'm eager to hear some feedback on a subject i've been giving much thought to of late. in the last couple years i've noticed, every (seemingly appropriate) guy who's asked me out or shown interest is quite a bit younger than i am (5-10+...
