I am an Engineering Geologist, I work in consulting, I've been at my job/company for 15 years, and I work too much! I'm trying to create a better work-life balance for myself, but that can be hard in consulting. I'm in my 40s - I grew up in the 80's and 90's. I have 2 indoor cats that I love to spoil -an orange guy named Scotchy-Scotch-Scotch (in honor of Anchorman) and a black guy with extra toes named Bo-Kitty. I have become kind of a homebody over the last few years and I am a little bit of an introvert so I recharge with alone time. I am very independent. I have a good sense of humor - I'm hard to offend. I'm single, but I have family nearby (dad, uncle, cousins). My dad is getting old and he is starting to slip mentally. We weren't super close when I was growing up, but now we talk every day. He made it a thing after I got really sick at the start of the pandemic. :) He comes over every two weeks or so to have dinner too. Lately we've been getting takeout sushi and drinking hot sake. I sometimes struggle with depression and anxiety but it has been pretty well under control for the last year, or so.

Interests -Fantasy, science fiction, magic, space, fairies, dragons, mythical beings, etc.
-Kindness, positivity, feminism, girl power, mentoring (especially the younger women working with me in a male-dominated field) -Science and logic -Cool rocks and minerals -Florals, paisleys, geometric prints, animal prints, bright colors, galaxy prints -Surrealist art, vintage, steam punk, whimsical things, embroidered things, and handmade things -Shoes and boots -I love making a really interesting charcuterie board -Wine, hard kombucha, manhattans -Trying to be a good human to our planet - used and handmade items welcome -Cute Things like hearts, rainbows, butterflies, flowers, stars, bugs -My favorite animals are giraffes, elephants, cats (big and small), and octopi. I have an octopus-themed guest room.

Hobbies -Givin Gifts and giving gifts :) -Binge watching fantasy & science fiction movies and tv with cats curled up on me -Snowboarding (but I'm too out of shape right now - I need to lose weight) -I listen to audio books when I cook in the kitchen -Crafting with Cricut - I got a Cricut for Christmas and I don't really know what to do with it yet. Still learning!

Goals -I want to teach myself how to embroider (some great previous gifts sent me a couple of books and a kit!) -I need to take better care of myself -I need to get out and socialize more

Would you include a small drawing of anything that you like? It’s okay if you’re not a good artist. All drawings are welcome and you can email it if you're not shipping the gift yourself! I would love to make a collage of the small drawings that I receive from my gift givers as time goes by. hayzel60@hotmail.com ♥️♥️♥️
