About Me

Hello fine sir!I am a passionate foodie/chef and animal loving singer/musician. My favorite pastimes are cooking, singing/practicing music, playing with my two kitties (and pretty much anything that has hooves or paws), reading and watching a really good cerebral film. Speaking of cerebral, I am definitely a sapiophile. There is nothing sexier than a rapier sharp mind and wit with a great sense of humor! I also get a tremendous amount of fulfillment out of volunteering for various organizations, in various capacities... I enjoy helping others in whatever way I am able.Presently, I am a full-time student and a part-time server working on my first degree, an AA in Music. The plan is to transfer to continue/complete a double major: a BA in Communicative Disorders and Music Therapy; after which I plan to obtain a Special Education credential and MA in Speech-Language Pathology. So, I have quite the road ahead of me, however my path is clear and my commitment is absolute. This is my version of a "midlife crisis"...other people want a younger mate, a sexy sports car...me: I abandoned my 17 year restaurant management career to return to school full-time to follow my heart/dreams and maximize my potential in life. If all of this sounds exciting to you - you may be just the man I'm looking for! ;o) At times things are difficult, especially on the financial front, but it is definitely temporary. As many wise friends have said, "This too shall pass."One of my best life friends once said about and to me, "You have always beat to your own drummer." I am definitely not "typical" in any way. My father taught me to always make up my own mind about things - to not follow the herd. Throughout my life, I have always felt like the salmon swimming upstream, going against the grain of what everyone else thinks is "normal" or "acceptable." Some of my favorite topics of discussion: religion, politics, philosophy, social issues, cooking and music - of course music!My musical tastes range far and wide...;;;;; Debussy. I also appreciate some Hip Hop and Country - they just aren't my "favorite" genres of music. As far as my personal musical ability goes, I am studying classical voice and I also love to sing jazz.Some other things you should know about me, I am an "old-fashioned" Christian girl. I am definitely looking for an "old-fashioned" Christian guy. If you are an ardent atheist, while we would most certainly have some interesting conversations, it is doubtful it would ever be more than that. Also, although I work with the public (always have) and enjoy it, I am definitely not an extrovert. I am an introvert who just happens to be bubbly and engaging. I am genuine and sincere, and extraordinarily compassionate towards others...all that being said to say simply, I am not really a "party" girl. My idea of a perfect evening is to have a great home cooked meal, a good bottle of wine, some great conversation and/or a good movie, and genuine intimacy with someone I care about. I am definitely not the superficial type. While physical appearance is important, it is nowhere near as important as the content of someone's heart and mind. Regarding personal appearance: personally, I am plus size - a very curvaceous and attractive plus size, but plus size none the less. I am continuously trying to improve myself and my health is of the utmost importance to me. I am highly affectionate and deeply loyal to those I love. Family is very important to me. Mine is small and we are close.Something important about you: You should be able to complete a grammatically correct sentence in the English language. One of my pet peeves is sloppy/poor grammar. (I even type everything out in text messages.) ...the other major peeve - don't be a super picky eater. I am an outstanding chef/cook, and love cooking for people that I care about. I need someone who enjoys all food types to be truly happy.Lastly, like many people who pursue online dating, I am extremely busy. I want to find someone to share my life with - long term. I will absolutely make time for someone I am interested in, but it must be a two way street.- respect for my personal character as well as my time...I will absolutely respect you and yours, please respect me and mine. Thank you so much for reading! Best wishes in finding your soulmate! Coffee, lunch, wine tasting...a walk on the beach or through a museum, a picnic...or just a nice evening out to a good dinner with engaging conversation. I'm pretty open...let's get to know each other.

    About me...Let's see...I am definitely an extrovert and prefer to spend my spare time out in my community, entertaining in my home or enjoying some entertainment at a friends. I like the occasional day laying around my house, but I definetly prefer to be out in the community. I LOVE hiking in the mountains with my dog or going for a run with them and others. We usually hit a vineyard after our mountain hikes and bring along a picnic lunch ; I am curious by nature and will talk with you about any subject, even those I know little about so that I may learn. I do however avoid politics and religion like the plague because people seem to become particularly passionate about these subjects which seems to mean they believe everyone should be...as long as you see it their way!! LOL!! I just like calm in my life is all so feel free to give me your views just don't expect me to share mine :) I love to laugh so I also love to make others laugh...unfortunately this includes a bit of witty sarcasm ;) Hope this gives you a little bit of an idea who I am :)Who I'm looking for...easy enough, someone who's NOT A COUCH POTATO, isn't an addict or alcoholic, has a high degree of intelligence and a fantastic sense of humor and liking dogs is a plus! I love a good war of wits in the humor department as well, so someone who likes to tease is very attractive to me. As a matter of fact I would say the only men I have ever felt an emotional attachment to were especially gifted in the verbally teasing department! He needs to like to socialize and get out into nature for a hike or run. I would really love to meet someone who will go for walks and hikes with me especially! Disclaimer :PLEASE...only single individuals...I will not date men who are merely separated. The best first meets are usually those where we can talk...so coffee or a drink would be my preference.

    Looking for: man. In age: 39-49

    I AM: Happy, healthy, independent, honest, strong, affectionate, playful, silly, dorky, clumsy, liberal, open minded, educated, energetic, passionate, and a good mother (above all other things).I LOVE: My daughter, the sun, the water, to touch and be touched, the night sky, conversation, people, animals, meeting new people, different cultures, learning new things. I CAN'T TOLERATE: Racism, sexism, intolerance, people who think that they are better than other people, abuse in any form, gossip. SILLY FUN BIT OF INFORMATION: I turned down Jennifer Aniston's fiance. I am having entirely TOO MUCH FUN with this. :-pI’M LOOKING FOR:The real deal- that feeling that I love you so much that I want to climb into your chest and wrap myself around your heart. I don't care where you've been- I care about who you are now. I would like to love someone who is happy (primarily), smart, open minded, playful, and kind- someone who is receptive to being loved, respected, and supported. And someone who loves, respects, and supports me in return. I want my heart to knock in my chest when we kiss. It's a tall order, but I'm patient. A walk, a coffee... it's only a spark check.
