About Me

Hello there! Okay, here's a little bit about myself...I am a Guidance Counselor in a public K-8 school. I love my job and wouldn't want to do anything else. To make this easier, I asked some friends to describe me and here are the results: fun-loving, sweet, adventurous, motivated, family oriented, considerate of other's feelings, and energetic. I am quick-to-smile and somewhat inquisitive! I enjoy all sorts of activities and will pretty much try anything once - I’ve gone sky diving, cliff diving and accomplished the knee-hang catch on a flying trapeze! I enjoy fine dining, traveling to tropical islands, rollerblading, roller coasters, hiking, some snow skiing, pistol shooting, obstacle/adventure running/races (i.e.: Tough Mudder 2x), and CrossFit for exercise! I am the type that loves getting dressed up and going to a nice restaurant one night and maybe camping out by a fire the next; I can suit the occasion and enjoy doing so. I spent a great deal of time in college and working hard. I own my own home and am financially independent. Ive had several (very) long term relationships (8 years, 7 years, and 6 years each) and although none of them developed into a life-long future, I feel that I am a better person because of them.I have fulfilled all of my academic and career goals and hope to meet a man who has done the same...hence, who is ready for a committed relationship. I am looking for someone who I can share myself with - someone who will be my love, as well as my best friend. I am finally ready to meet the man who I am meant to be with. Although I am not looking for a relationship that is only "convenient", I have tried the long-distance thing once or twice and have found it difficult. I do also understand that everyone is on their best behavior during the get-to-know-you stage...which is why I do not tend to jump into things. I will try to be as up-front as possible in this.Having said that, I prefer to meet sooner than later. As much as I appreciate good writing technique, as illustrated in *** &/or text messages, I would much rather meet early on to determine if there is a spark between us - which is absolutely necessary!! ;)

    Looking for: man. In age: 39-49

    Looking for friendship with potential for a long-term relationship. I'm ready to love and be loved. I'm pretty low maintenance but I like someone that will take the time to let me know they're thinking of me...whether it's a text, note or phone call. I’ve got a pretty silly sense of humor, sometimes crass but am ladylike when needed. I like to write poetry, song parodies and create sassy greeting cards. One of my favorite TV shows is Arrested Development…that’ll give you a glimpse of my quirky personality.My friends say I'm crazy....this is the good kind of crazy...fun...make you pee your pants laughing crazy...not crazy crazy. That being said, I'm serious when I need to be.I’m sassy, serious, sweet, romantic, bossy, sentimental, passionate and sometimes crabby. When I’m serious…I’m super-serious : ) I love to spend time with my family and friends. I’ve got 2 children and lots of pets! Country and 80’s music are my favorites but I enjoy all types (except for rap). I love scary movies and haunted houses. Autumn is my favorite season...love the sweatshirt snuggling weather. Corn mazes are pretty fun :)Summer is my least favorite season...but I do like hanging by the campfire when it's chilly out. I've been separated since Dec '11 with hopes of my divorce being final by Jan '14. Last December I lost my PT, in-home office job and reignited my FT employment search once my son was in school FT. My background is in business but I also teach art classes and am employable in the spa industry. I'll need someone who's understanding of my frugality as I pursue a career that I both love and that will allow me to support my family. *******NOW FOR THE PART THAT WILL POSSIBLY TICK SOME OF YOU OFF...I'm allergic to cigarette smoke so a nonsmoker is preferred. Lie to me about it, you're gone.I'm not much of a drinker so I'm a bit picky about that....social drinking means different things to different people...I'll expect an honest answer.If you are separated but still living with your spouse please don't contact me. If you're unemployed, on disability or have a criminal record (or have have been charged , but acquitted) I'm not interested. Recovered or recovering addict (drugs, alchohol, sex, etc.) no thank you.I'm not interested in seeing half or full naked photos...I'll block you.I'm not a swinger, bisexual, lesbian etc...don't ask, i'm not interested.If you're a liar, no need to contact me.I know this is a repeat but some don't pay attention...I don't want to travel far for a relationship.I'm terrified of reptiles. If you own any or there's a chance you will ever own any, we won't be a match...ever!!!I prefer-white collar professioneducation beyond high schooltaller than medark hair (salt n pepper sexy too***Not a big fan of bald(ing) though some wear it wellsucker for facial hair-big bonus points!teeth average buildages ***out of this range not a huge deal)If you aren't what I prefer, it doesn't mean I won't talk to you, just means I'll likely gravitate towards my preferences.In my search to find the best match, it's possible I will be chatting with more than one guy. I'm not being a player and looking for a free dinner (always willing to pay my own way). If this is going to insult you, we probably won't get along. If and when I find the most suitable match, he will be my one and only.I'm working towards a healthier lifestyle. I'd like to find someone that is where they want to be physically or actively working towards better health. I have some extra weight around my middle but am trim in my legs and arms. My weight hovers around ***lbs. My hair grays quickly thus accounting for the multiple colored hair photos in my profile : ) If so inclined to amuse me, there's a Five Love Languages Quiz to see if we might mesh. If interested in humoring me, I can send you the questionnaire. Something fun that will create a memory to keep me smiling for years to come.

    What to say? I tend to over-think what I should put on this profile. If I write too much does everything get read? If I write too little do I seem serious about looking to meet my someone special? In the end, I really think it just comes down to what pictures are posted, which really isn't fair considering not everyone takes a good picture and you can't hear an infectious laugh or feel a warm caress in a few words and pictures on a profile. But... Strong, confident, and according to most write ups the life of the party... I don't know if it's all true and if it is......Heart On Sleeve Me?Lately I have been working a lot. Currently I am up to 40lbs lost, I lift weights a bit, work on the cardio, attempt to sprint periodically, and I teach water aerobics two nights a week. I love riding the bike path and taking my dogs for walks/ hikes.When I'm not working or going to the gym, I do what everyone else does. I walk my dogs, clean my house, veg out in front of the T.V, catch up with friends, mow the yard, etc. I would like to throw some more fun things in there, like hit a museum or two or drive somewhere new and see what can be discovered. Canoeing is fun but need a buddy. Wanna go? We can discuss that later if we get that far. But I love to travel, just haven't for a while outside of heading to R.I. to hang with some good friends who are like family. There are some places I haven't been that I would like to see, and some I would love to see again, as well as visit some friends I haven't seen in ages.Not sure what else I should say. I think I have rambled on pretty well and you have an idea of what I am like. Maybe? Sort of? Well, hopefully you see enough that you decide to drop me a line. If you are decent, hard working, caring, and just...yourself, please feel free to drop me a line. I am not looking for anyone trying to impress. I do believe we have to have things in common so please consider--I work out, I have a degree, I work 40 hours a week at one job, I like animals, etc. Not saying we need have everything in common but I'm not looking for casual sex. So in the end, there has to be something to talk about.I'm not looking for Mr. Perfect, just Mr. Perfect for me...Chrissy Let's get to know each other and go from there...
