simply me and I suppose self-indulgent

I am part old lady because of my love of...

tea
cleaning house
sewing
vintage aprons
trivets and knick-knacks
doilies
oil lamps
robes and slippers
house coats
costume jewelry
long walks
cats
flowers and gardening
yard sales
an early bedtime

I am part intellectual because of my love for...

books of all kinds
long pauses
thinking, constantly thinking,
always looking for a new way
sometimes being way too serious
philosophy
considering the possibilities
analyzing art

I am an educator because...

I love to share
every moment is teachable
I love to learn
it is the lighting of a fire
I can't imagine doing anything else
discussing art is gives me goosebumps
there is no better way for me to express my theatrical side
seeing a child's pride in their art and them self is magical

I am a party girl because of...

my love for live music
an uncontrollable urge to dance
my love for good beer
an ability to slam a shot (most of the time)
my small collection of wild high heels
a desire to stay out until last call
a need to get everyone in on the fun
my love for bar tricks and flair
the fact that in my heart I will always want to bartend

I am a child because of...

my laughter at stupid jokes
telling stupid jokes
taking very little seriously ;)
my love of play
living for the moment

I am a sucker because...

I would do anything for someone I care about
I spill my guts far too easily

I am an artist because...

I spill my guts far too easily
I can't resist a pen/crayon/pencil and paper
of the smell of etching ink
of the way slip feels
the possibilities are endless
without it I am not


I am what I am.
