"A day without laughter is a day wasted." - I'm ready to enjoy life again. I admit, I've kept to myself a bit because I have lots of responsibilities, but now I realize it's time to do some things for myself. I do enough things by myself - reading, walking my dog, late night Netflix, etc. - now I want to do things with that special someone, too. I like to be outside. I enjoy being in the sun, listening to live music, watching my children play sports, going to professional sporting events, hanging out with friends, and, believe it or not, I enjoy my job. I like a wide variety of music, but I'm not a fan of rap. I'll listen to country music when coerced, but the old music my dad listened to when I was a kid is preferred to the newer country music I seem to be subjected to these days by my friends and kids. My radio in the car is preset to Jack FM. I must warn you, I sing along with every song whether I know the words or not. I may dance around a lot, too. I can't help it. Music makes me happy.I especially love to travel. Being a teacher and a single mother doesn't give me a lot of extra money to travel, but I manage at least a few little trips each year. All were a blast! I don't like to travel alone, so finding someone who also enjoys traveling is a must. It was beautiful, historical, cultural, and had great beer! On my dates, I do expect good conversation. Is that really too much to ask for? My friends promise me I am good at keeping the conversations alive, but some of my past dates have been painful! So, if you are so much of an introvert that you can't carry on a conversation, please do not respond. I am a bright, educated women, but I do not want to discuss politics and world events, either. I am a practicing Catholic, so if you have issues with my Christian faith, don't stop here. We can also rule out those who don't like dogs or kids. I have both and love them! Who, then, am I looking for? I want someone with a personality! Please make me laugh and want to be around you. I don't want someone who puts down others to build themselves up. I enjoy men who can be romantic, but it's not required - just appreciated. I want someone who is employed and doesn't need me to take care of them financially. A man who takes initiative is appealing to me. I don't want a clingy, needy man, but a man who is respectful, loving, and supportive is attractive to me. I like to hold hands in public - touching is important to me. Snuggling? YES! I sit at home enough as it is, I want someone who wants to take me out! Mostly, I am looking for that one guy who wants to be with ME - the one who finds me irresistible. He makes me think of him ***. He has to be out there somewhere...I don't initiate contact with men. It doesn't feel natural to me. (Blame my parents?) If you initiate contact, I will do my best to respond. Please do not contact me if you are still married.

I am a determined and positive woman who values honesty tremendously. I always try to find the blessings in all circumstances in my life whether they be good or bad. I have found that what one suffers through, another can see a blessing of encouragement from which makes all of the hardships worth the challenge.My children are now 20 and 22 years old. They both still live at home with me. My son works and my daughter is a full-time student. We have a very loving and supportive relationship and are considerate of each others' feelings and opinions about things in general. I am very proud of the people they have become as it shows me I did "motherhood" right. :) Other than volunteer work, I really have not worked since before having them as I stayed at home with them to make sure I showed them and taught them the values I felt were important but, more importantly, I gave them all of the love and encouragement they could ever want. As for pets, I have a 4 lb Yorkie who is very spoiled and loved and sleeps on my bed. We had Guinea Pigs when the kids were small and just adored them also. We are NOT cat people. Not to offend anyone, but I don't want to fall in love with someone who will have to choose between me and his cat.I have been a diabetic since I was nine years old. I have been using an insulin pump for 8 or 9 years and had a kidney transplant in Dec of ***. A dear friend donated one of her kidneys to me...what a blessing loving friends are. We met on our first day of college and stayed close friends throughout the years since that time.I have long loved art and museums and travel although my travel has slowed down drastically over the last several years. I still have my passport but have not put it to use sadly. I also love baking and find when I am feeling a little sad, it makes me feel better to do some baking and share it with family or friends. I enjoy reading and sewing occasionally; mostly when I am in the mood. I like using watercolors as well but again, painting is something one has to be in the mood for. I am crazy about animals too and just love a zoo visit...just makes me smile. There is just no place more relaxing than a beach with soft sand and gentle lulling waves...I do love those island beaches. Bora Bora and an over-the-water bungalow is a dream vacation to me. But in my travels there are a few things I have not yet done and am hoping to do such as skydiving and going on a hot air balloon ride---any takers? haha So yes, I am adventurous but I am not one for hiking.i love my church family and am a member at New Horizons Church which has made my life so much happier these last 9 years. Being in a church where there is so much genuine acceptance and encouragement for being who you really are is refreshing and a true blessing. Therefore I try to go every week...it would be nice to someday find myself sitting with someone significant, feeling God's presence. My friends would describe me as edgy and fun-loving, straightforward and possibly opinionated but I am always respectful of the way others think so I will always agree to disagree as I think it is silly to get angry. Generally, people do not make me angry. What does make me angry is human injustice, racism, and being dishonored.I love love and I value spending time with my kids, my little dog, my parents, and my friends but I am hoping to find a good man out there who puts importance on a relationship with God as that has been the VERY thing missing in all of my past relationships. Because that chemical attraction is so important in a relationship, I would prefer to meet for coffee and dessert or a drink and appetizer somewhere for that first date. That way, we are not going to be tied into a long evening if after less than an hour or so we are aware that there is no attraction between us. An hour of conversation without the physical appeal would perhaps be a new friendship for us...or we each know we just don't share any common interests that are important to us.

Quite honestly, I have mixed feelings about being on sites like this. I was married for 16 years, have been divorced for three, and sometimes wish that I had someone to share life with. I have two teenage daughters...I love them very much and most of my time and energy is spent supporting them in their many activities. But before too long, they will be gone and it will be just me. I'm not sure if I will ever find anyone to love, but I figure the odds of finding someone in the small community I live in are pretty slim. So...here I am. I can do casual or formal. I prefer comfortable and casual, but don't mind dressing up every once in a while either. I love to laugh and enjoy good conversation. I love all kinds of music from blues and jazz to classical, and country to rock. I love to travel although I haven't done a lot of it in the last several years. I enjoy most sports. Spend more time watching than playing these days. I enjoy cooking, but we end up eating on the run a lot...Wreck 'em!
