I enjoy cocktails, mad laughter, art (Into painting-acrylics & oils, collage art, Photography, architecture, jewelry making). Also dabble in writing, journaling, self exploration. Have recently become enamored with working out regularly and taking good care of myself. - More about me and my recent life choices- check out my blog: http://thinnerjenepher.blogspot.com
My Loves include: Quiet early mornings, quiet late nights, crazy late nights, art, photography, color, a plethora of art supplies, a post-workout buzz, strutting in high heels, blue jeans, feeling sexy & beautiful, keeping my hair a fun two-tone of natural blonde and an unnatural fuchsia, my cat (her name is Purple), cool air, autumn, chai spice tea, chandeliers, damask, zebra and other bold graphic patterns, laughing till it hurts and I'm gasping for air, walking in downtown Seattle, finding a new amazing recipe, not fucking up the new amazing recipe, making a really good soup, learning new things, reading and expanding my library, self-examination, garage sales & thrift shops,
MUSIC is a key ingredient in my life,
I worship design. I adore yoga, and cooking magazines, yoga class, really good quality cooking utensils & tools (cuisinart, calphalon, henckels, etc), European, specifically French culture, language, and art, travel, greek food, thai food, healthy food, fresh flowers (not roses), fresh, cool sheets, hot sweaty sheets!, candlelight, being freshly showered an chillin' in my pjs, small espresso joints, bookstores that invite lingering, museums, wooded parks, streetlights & neon around the city, warm & soft sweaters, irreverent humor-the dirtier the better, being touched, tickled, playing like children, massage (giving & receiving), tattoos & piercings, the scent of citrus, pear, ylang ylang, lemongrass, leather, raspberry, blackberry & vanilla. And Chuck Norris jokes.
My dislikes include: Prejudgement, judgement, beets, black licorice and anything anise-flavored, manipulative people, slow, dumb, or oblivious drivers, loneliness, obnoxious people making obnoxious situations, sadness, the smell of neglect, wasting time, the period between when I leave the house and get to the airport-I'm a basketcase!
I ADORE cooking. New recipes and difficult techniques do not intimidate me. I will give it a whirl. Oh yeah- I'll take on that souffle- BRING IT.

These people are my angels- my pillars- my heart.

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!
Who I'd like to meet: For beginners, a wine, a cocktail, and a book I can't live without.
Also-Intelligent, witty, amazing people (the boys or the girls) who have a spark and aren't afraid to show it. People who laugh and smile easily, are laid back, and like to have fun. People who are ok with me just being who I am, but also are willing to help me develop hidden or neglected facets of myself.
Hope you are well... Been a while, thought Id stop in and say hi! Having a little thing tomorrow if you still have my number and want to pop by, Cin will be here with Riley!
