First and foremost, I'm a dad. I'm good at it and I take a lot of pride in that and in her. Also, I'm done having babies. Mother Nature forced the issue, and I'm glad she did, but I'm completely content with one. She's almost 10 and I love the newfound freedom I have with every year passing birthday. I also love how many more things I can include her in. That's all I'm gonna say about that.
I have pretty good social skills. I fit in well in a room full of strangers. I love to cook and I miss sharing the duties of cleaning up a dirty kitchen after sharing a fan-fucking-tanstic meal.
I'm a big fan of hiking through the forest to pick whatever is in season, be it berries or mushrooms, and then coming home and preparing a feast for my friends with my hard earned bounty.
I like my job, but I hate the inconsistency of the hours I work.
I LOVE putting my Mercury Happy Hour app to work.
Most of my play money goes toward music in one form or another. I'm generally seeing at least a couple of shows a month.
I love participating in and watching sports and I make time for both. I'm not filling every waking moment doing both or either of those things, but I feel that they both help create a fuller social life for me and whomever I'm lucky enough to be hanging out with.
I'm happy to be jogging again. I've missed it.
I guess that's it for now....
