About Me

I've relocated back to my homestate after grad school and a 12 year hiatus and would like to meet some new people in the area.. lots can change in a dozen years, right? . Perhaps you want to show me around your favorite places or take me with you on an adventure.. I'm always game for exploring or having an intellectual conversation, or just having a few drinks and a bunch of laughs. I don't have time or interest in hitting the bar scene on a regular basis, but I do enjoy the opportunity to get out and scope out new venues for good food, drink and entertainment.I'm a strong independent woman who tends to scare guys who aren't self-confident off, but I'm really a passionate and sensitive person who wants meaningful relationships just like everyone else. I'm totally down to earth, confident in myself and enjoy art and music as a way of life. I am creative, educated, inspired by nature and know how to have a good time. I would love to find someone who I could share adventures and experiences with, both good and bad. Life is indeed too short to go it alone. However, I would rather do my own thing than put up with someone else's bullshit. Friends and family are very important to me; I am happy to say that there is no drama to report here!. I really enjoy cooking gourmet meals and I would love to have someone to share them with. It's hard to picture where exactly I'll be in the next five or ten years, but I do know that a strong community around me is really important.If I haven't scared you off yet..please read on: It would be nice to find someone to share adventures and quality moments with... creative, funny and outdoorsy guys get bonus points. I don't intend to design what the perfect guy should be; that's not my goal. I like a self-confident, intelligent man who knows who he is and doesn't need me to 'make him happy' but someone who enjoys me for who I am and also loves to do his own thing. Show me a great hiking spot or share your passions and I'll share mine. I am very attracted to hard working men who are not afraid to get dirty but can clean up nicely when necessary! Spending lots of time in my studio makes me happy! I'm a bit of a romantic too. Sunset strolls on the beach, candlelight dinners, picnics and adventurous getaways, or a night of snuggling with a good movie are my idea of a fun time. I don't watch TV, and don't care to; Netflix is a decent compromise.. soaking in hotsprings under the moonlight.. discovering beauty in silence and laughing until it hurts.I enjoy a wide variety of music and enjoy going to see shows or just checking out what people have on their ipod or in their album collection.. I love a good and funky bassline and clever lyrics. Lately I've been listening to lots of bluegrass. Always open to listening to new music. I am always happy to meet positive an intelligent folks no matter where I live. I'm really looking forward to establishing gardens again and getting back to my roots. Positivity can get a person everywhere in life. And a strong sense of humor somehow helps us get through all the crazy sh*t that is going on in this world. I'm pretty liberal.. so please don't try to start a political argument with me. Drop me a line if you think we have similar interests. Robo-muscle men, conservatives and those looking for a one-night stand need not respond. Depends on mutual interests... Maybe meeting up for tea or coffee or other fine beverages and we can discuss whatever comes up.. see where it goes from there... something fun and an opportunity to talk and laugh is ideal.

    I ONLY READ PROFILES WITH PICS! . My hobbies include cooking, gardening, decorating, wine tastings, going out to clubs and dancing, staying in and watching movies. I work in health care and am interested in health and wellness and like to exercise and keep fit and want to tie all of this in with my profession. I like all music depending on my mood and going out and having fun....I do not respond to profiles that do not include a picture hey it is only fair...you have seen my images my turn to see yours. Go out and have drinks and get to know each other, a good sense of humor and quick wit along with devilishly good looks and charm will do it for me, but the eyes have it.....

    I am very goal oriented. I have accomplished a lot on my own and I am looking for a match not a provider. I truly believe it is important to set long and short term goals. I love my job and love what I do which makes life easier. I don't consider it work because I have a passion for it. I am confident in myself and my successes and can only imagine where I will be years from now. I am very out going. I try everything once because you never know unless you try. I love to cook/bake and entertain. I enjoy a night in cuddled up with a good movie or a night out dancing. Love theme parks, the beach, nature, walks in the park. Love playing indoor and outdoor games and sports because I'm not a sore loser....I just enjoy having fun with others. What makes me unique is my attitude. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home...and even relationships. The remarkable thing is I have a choice everyday regarding the attitude I will embrace for that day. I cannot change my past... I cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. I cannot change the inevitable. The only thing I can do is play on the one string I have, and that is my attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with me... I am in charge of my Attitude. I love most music because I love to dance. I believe life is what you make it and it should be treasured, full of happiness, and even through the storms there will be a lesson learned. I am very happy in my own life and now I am open to finding someone to share it with. I believe that attraction is a big thing and not just physically but mentally. Dinner and Drinks with casual conversation. Maybe something fun but low key. I am open to most things so I am sure we can make anything fun.

    Hi Guys!I'll make this short and sweet. If you find yourself intrigued and want to learn more, please don't hesitate to send me a message. My friends and family would describe me as silly, funny, sarcastic, adventurous and spontaneous. They would also say I'm a loyal friend, honest (to a fault), loving, caring and warm hearted. I have a stable, successful career, own my own home and have a lil furry munchkin (my pup). I am very close with my family and am a MN native. I'm looking for a guy that's fun, engaging, social, familiy-oriented and loyal. He should be open to adventure, like to travel and enjoy the simple things in life. He should also have a stable career, be motivated to succeed and live a healthy lifestyle. Lastly, he must like dogs! ;)Other Quick Facts: - -;- Movies: Shawshank Redemption, Wedding Crashers, The Godfather, The Usual Suspects -
