First post...who am I?


Well, I am a 28-year old girl...yeah I know, at 28 you're not a girl anymore, but a woman...pfft. I don't really see myself that mature to call myself a "woman"...oh maybe physically, but in my head...whole different story. I live in Naples, a little piece of heaven sometimes...although at times, it can get really hot and humid in heaven, not to mention crowded too! I live with my boyfriend of two years Adrian and our 4-year old French Mastif Rusty in a house we purchased at the beginning of the year. Couldn't be more excited about 2007! It's brought so many changes in my life... I'm proud of us to have been able to make this move and I feel truly blessed for having the opportunity...many people don't get to have that so early in their lives... I feel lucky.
I enjoy little things in life, I try to smell the roses every day, I cherish the time I spend with my friends (and family when I go home), I am vivacious, loud sometimes, funny - I'd like to think -, feisty at times, I get upset rather easily, but I'm working on that, I am too direct sometimes, I don't like to be fake; sometimes, I offend people with my straight-forward style (especially here in the States), but it's just my way of being. sorry...
Here are some things that I really love and some things I don't really love...like, at all.
I love chocolate - without being snobby and not willing to offend anybody...not on my first post!!...I don't really like Hershey's, sorry...if you tried Milka or any Belgian or German chocolate you'll know what I'm talking about...it's the creamy-milky taste of it that makes you beg for more more and more... I also love photography....this one is new. Well, fairly new. I am just getting to be fascinated by it and getting to know some of the tricks...(more on this on a later post - I wanna keep it general here).
Ok...cooking...looooove it! I don't have a recipe that I master, I don't have a style that I like...I just find it, and if I love it, it goes home with me... I have tons of cookbooks but I have more printed recipes that just float around in my kitchen... I have to say though...with no self-promotion or anything like that, but I'm pretty pretty good...
I also cherish my good friends. I'm not an easy-going, instantly friendly person...well, it's hard for me to relate to strangers. I can't just have a random conversation with somebody I met 5 minutes ago. It takes more time for me to get to know somebody and befriend somebody. That's why, my good friends are important to me because they're people that I've known for a long time and these friendships developed in time...
And...lately...I've come to love driving my "boys" crazy (i.e. my boyfriend and my dog!). I sound like a dork, I know...well, I am. What I mean by that? I'm just giving them a lot of love to the point where they "fake" (I know it!!) "annoy-ness" (I just made a word up)...plus I'm the only girl in the house and that might be reason enough...They're just so cute!
Some of the things I hate are: bad odors (which goes hand in hand with sweating), fake people, being stuck without gas (never happened, but I'd hate it if it did), heights, and mostly all things I can't control...yeap, I'm a control freak too!
Hope you enjoy my blog...might be boring at times, but it's my blog and I "blog if I want to"...
