Name: Stephanie Marie
Gender: Female
Interests: I'm pretty passionate about life in any of its stages and all of its senses. I'm interested in figuring out what/how my own life is going to turn out. People who show intelligence, compassion, humility, and honesty interest me. It used to be that you could find me in the woods near my favorite creek, but now that I've moved to a concrete and brick paradise...you can usually find me in my apartment...or at friends' apartments.
Expertise: I doubt I'm an expert, but I spend a lot of time cooking. writing. reading. being a bit melodramatic at times. listening. being a friend. jumping in puddles. surviving. seeing the magnificence of everyday life. loving. engaging in good conversation. pondering...

| Sassy chocolatesToday, my Dove chocolates told me two things:
"Savor a Sunset" and "Laugh until your heart overflows"
But I've got to say that I have been spending my days from before the sun rises until after the sun sets at work for the past few months...and I'm not laughing. | | |
| Well, I am certainly not one to talk about work on the internet, but know it can be stressful and it can take up a lot of time. Suffice it to say that it isn't what I see myself doing for the rest of my life, even though I feel that the cause I'm supporting is a good one.
I haven't been writing poetry lately. It's hard to do that when you feel sapped of all energy. I'm feeling that old, familiar tug again though...so maybe I'll be picking up the pen again soon. I might keep the results to myself for a while though. I don't think I'm a terrible wordsmith, but neither do I think I should be compared to the greats.
Forrest and I are doing well. He's thinking about taking a twist in his career path and going back to school. You all know I believe in him so much. I'll be behind him no matter what. We'll see what turns our life takes in the next few years. It could be exciting. It could also involve a move. Who knows what the future may hold...
I'm also beginning to realize more and more that life is short. If I am not happy where I am, then why am I wasting these precious moments working toward something that makes me miserable. I want to be a baker/cake artist. Possibly own my own bakery/cafe. What's to say that I shouldn't give it a try? No one is going to do it for me. Maybe I'll be making a change soon too. I certainly won't be quitting the day job anytime soon, but that doesn't mean I can't start working toward a larger goal.
The work I'm doing now is work that I can do well, I'm just not sure it's what will work the best for our lives down the line. Stress at work means stress at home, and I truly believe that home should be your haven.

Escuchas, chica; do I see YOU writing consistently? ;) Heh? No. No, I don't.
I keep you posted though. And I AM going on a few wine tours with
you this weekend, so be happy. You get the in person Stephanie to
keep you company. I'd say that's better than a few paragraphs.
I will try to do better though. :) I used to spend most of
my mid-night hours writing........now I have a Type-A job that forces
me to sleep during most of these hours. Sad really. They
should make flexible hours for those of us who don't deal well with the
9-5 type.
