I make it every year for my coworkers to show my appreciation. They’re like gourmet peanut butter cups. It’s a lot of work but they love it and they look forward to it. 🙂

I do enjoy it though it gets tedious when you need to roll hundreds of balls out and then cover them in chocolate. After hours of doing that, just the smell of nuts or chocolate sends me running in the opposite direction

I admire your patience and determination. I’m a good cook but I hate cooking and all domestic chores.

I’m not a fan of domestic chores either but when you live alone, you have no one else to ask to do them 🙂

Another reason to have a partner? Can I ask you what are the characteristic traits of your ideal man? Did you already had relationships before? Why it ended? If you’re uncomfortable don’t answer.

I don’t have ideal. Any one I partner with has to accept that I’m a career woman not a housewife. I am not a maid. I am not a servant. Someone who’ll do their fair share of household chores. Someone who will leave me in peace for a few hours if I ask it. He’s got to be a fan of my writing because I write all the time; even when there is neither paper nor screen in front of me. I am always half in my fantasy realm and half here in reality. Always. My imagination has no off switch. I haven’t had much luck fining someone who’ll give me space let alone the rest but I remain hopeful and I think I might look again in the spring.

I don’t know what to say… I heard that a lot, finding the right person is hard. Not only I never experience looking but I don’t believe in looking also. I think if it meant to be, it meant to be. I guess I just got lucky.

I agree with the “if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be.” I’ll eventually go back to looking when life is less busy. I haven’t the time right now to read profiles.

My criteria for a potential mate is also sky high. Not perfect but high. One of the requirements is not only he has to be single ( I will never have anything with divorced/separated or a widower, who knows what they did to their partners) he has to be a virgin too ( I like my goods to be new and undamaged 😀 ) I thought I will never get what I want and will spend the rest of my life alone which is also good but sometimes fairy tales do happen. But I warned you, getting what you want is not always a good thing. It can be boring.

Glad to hear that. Today my husband came from giving workshops/demos/coaching etc. When I asked him how it was, he said to me about boring developers. I guess he is just working with the wrong people then. Or there is something wrong with him.
