    Goodmorning. Got my coffee. Im on call today for work so I wont know if I have to work or not for about an hour. In a friend, humor is number one, followed by compassion, understanding and openness.
    Stay away from my chocolate and nobody gets hurt!

    I think I like who I am becoming...

    Good morning!  Crazy thunderstorms all night, I'm the only one who noticed them I guess.. everyone else slept through it.  In a friend.. honesty, thoughtfulness, humor, open mindedness.

    Good Morning.... running late... and a CRAZY day at work... booked solid from 9am-4pm... not sure when I'll eat or even pee!  I'm getting ready to go to the cafe and stock up on coffee, water and snacks.  That being said, I'm sure I'll be around a bit - confence calls make it easy to multitask - I LOVE my job.


    Qualities in a friend: Honeisty, integrity, tolerance, family,  humor, fun , the ability to listen to my rollercoaster of a life, compassion, empathy and trust.


    @chocoholic Thanks for the extra ~O)

    Things I look for in a friend: Honesty and loyalty. You can tell me anything as long as it's true, and as long as you accept me for it. Lol. Everything else is gravy.
