About Me

A mean spirited person recently did a line by line critique of my profile, and though I in general didnt take it too personally it did remind me that my profile was do for an overhaul.The basics:I am moving to NC and will be there mid September. And yes I do have a southern accent. I have two grown children currently living in LA and Chcago. At this age I realize that eating healthy and gym time are going to have to be a part of life if I want to stay being small. As the that reference, I am short and small but I am by no means a twiggy girl. I have curves and muscles and would have described myself as curvy but was told that was code for fat and I am by no means fat.I do try and eat healthy most of the time but life is too short to not indulge occasionally! I am an interior designer and have spent the last twenty years managing flooring stores. I had a poly sci and pre-law double major and sometimes I wonder how in the world I got from that to here, but life happens! I am a good cook and I love to bake. I just need someone to bake for so I dont eat it! I love to garden and do yard and do have a bit of a green thumb. I have my own power tools ( well they are currently in storage, explanation to come) and have done several remodel projects thanks to hurricanes and new houses!The contradictions:I love to shop! I shop more for entertainment than for need usually. I love the challegne of finding that rare item at an unbeleiveable low price. However I am not one of those girls that likes to spend the day out with the girls shopping, I would much rather spend the day watching football! So although I might look like a girly girl and have tons of hot shoes, I am probably a tom-boy at heart! I love most all sports, but probably football , baseball and hockey are my favorites. I am a huge football fan, college and pro.- Roll Tide! And I have recently realized you dont have to be a sports fan to catch my attention! The next contradiction! Although I have done building interiors for the last twenty years, I prefer exteriors! I love buildings and architecure. I like the mountains and the beach! Spring and fall but will admit I do prefer fall! There are times I will talk your head off and other times I set back and take it all in. You will particularly notice that on long car rides. The journey:My recent critic pointed out that the following information makes me sound unstable. This did hurt my feelings since I felt I was sharing something very personal to me. First off, I own a home, had a very successful career and raised two terrific, stable , successful children on my own. I dont think you can get much more stable than that! That being said, on my 49th birthday I realized I was not happy and needed to make some changes in my life. I got back in shape, sold my big SUV , rented out my house, and decided I needed to find what was going to make me happy for the next 50 years. Yes this was proabably a mid-life crisis but there have been several important people in my life that didnt live to see 50 and I realized we take for granted that tomorrow is guaranteed. Well a few months after I got there my daughter left to go to LA and business turned bad and it seemed crazy to stay somewhere alone and unhappy! So I gave some thought to what I really find joy in, alone or with someone, and that was travelling. With that knowledge and that this inner feeling I have had for years that there was something I was supposed to go out there and find, I set out on my current adventure. I packed up my household goods and put them in storage and set out to find that person, calling, or just the place I am supposed to be. I really don't know which it is and I really hope it is all three. I can and will provide all the details on that in person. I try to tell everyone, that although NC is where I am now, that if I find that person I am suppose to find and they are not here, I am in a position to go wherever I need to go. So just because I am currently not the girl next door, don't discount me because tomorrow I might be!The man:Hmmm... that is the hardest part! We all have our typical physical types we are attracted to but I have found with age I like all types! What I am looking for is someone who can put a smile on my lips and my in my heart. I want someone who I cant wait to share my crazy stories with! I am at a point I want to find that person to spend the rest of my life with, so it would be my hope that is where you are too. I want someone who is open minded and not judgemental. Someone who has the strength to tell me to stop when I need to stop but the insight to let me fly when I need to soar. Someone who knows it takes two to make a relationship work and is willing to put the time and effort into a relationship. I will tell you everyday what you mean to me and I would hope to find someone that can express their feelings and feels secure enough with me to let me share theirs dreams, desires and hurts. It is a big chance we take putting our hearts out there knowing full well we can get hurt, but I need someone willing to take that chance. Great rewards only come with great risk and I know it is hard to risk your heart, but I am taking that chance and putting mine out there, and I hope to find that someone also willing to do the same. After having written this now twice I know there are things I left out, but I have bored you enough! If you want the sequel all you have to do is ask! And if you fell asleep reading this you can thank the jerk who prompted me to rewrite my profile! Good luck with your search and I hope we all find that which completes us.

    Looking for: man. In age: 52-62

    I’m seeking a relationship filled with humor, affection, love, passion, flirtation and romance. Someone to share new experiences and accompany me on adventures in life. I am looking for a special man that fits with me, one who is confident in himself, passionate, and honest, smiles and laughs often, and can find enjoyment in many things. I like a good hug on a regular basis and love kissing, holding hands, and snuggling. I am spontaneous and would like to meet someone with some of the same qualities for a friend and hopefully some pleasant companionship.So let’s get off our computers, go outside, hit the dance floor together, or pack our bags to travel to new destinations.I am a confident, intelligent, passionate, generous, fun loving person that would like to find someone with similar interests to share time with. I enjoy good conversation and good music, beautiful sunsets or full moons, sitting on the deck watching life go by, a good bottle of wine in a fine restaurant, a great greasy cheeseburger in a local dive, or grilling a juicy steak at home. Are you up for an adventure?I have pics posted and think it is only fair that you have some too. I WON'T RESPOND TO CHAT REQUESTS OR *** YOU DO NOT HAVE PICTURES!!!!I am NOT just looking for an Internet buddy! Sorry but I am not interested in spending my evenings chatting online. I want to meet a real flesh and blood, (preferably hot blooded) man that can give me those bear hugs.And I am a tall girl so you must be at least a couple inches Taller than me!

    'm an honest person (if i had a quarter for the number of times i've seen that statement on a profile, i wouldn't be editing my self-summary. i'd be shopping)...sometimes too honest. i refuse to try to be something i'm not. my profile says i'm available & i am. but i'm also still married. i have divorce papers, just haven't gotten the loser...sorry...the estranged hubby to sign them yet. my marriage has been over since ***...he & i are still friends, but we haven't lived as hubby & co. since then. i have no intention of hiding anything about myself because there is no point in doing so. i expect others to show me the same respect. the truth will come out sooner or later, so if you're looking for something, look for it honestly.my 2 boys are grown & married. i have 1 granddaughter. people always tell me to eat something. i'm skinny, always have been, & anticipate always being so. i weigh the same as i did in high school...***lbs. 5' 7" (most of it is my legs)(i just added my height. somebody told me my legs could weigh 50# each. i had to clarify)i love the outdoors. give me a yard to mow & i'm happy. i've been deer hunting quite a few times & i loved it. didn't shoot, just an observer. i rarely go out...anywhere. ***, i find something to work on. i used to be a couch potato, but i haven't watched t.v. or been to a movie theater in years. for the record, i don't "need" a man... i'm capable of changing the oil in my vehicles, i can lay ceramic tile (i can use &; i'm willing to help my guy anytime he wants me to. i'm not a perfectionist, but i'm not a slouch either. the type of man i like to spend my time with is one that is productive, capable of problem solving, & protective of me when we go out "into the wild" (i am terrified of snakes...my footsteps mirror his, so if i get a snake bite, so does he). i don't want or need someone to take care of me...we should take care of each other. i don't mind the smell of a greasy or sweaty guy, & rough hands are a definite plus. life has turned me into a major potty-mouth...a truck driver comes to mind. i prefer blue-collar over white-collar types of men. only one thing is mandatory...heart. you must have a good heart. i was primary caregiver for my mother from ***until her death this last april. i'm supervisor of electronic medical records in a small medical clinic. prior to that, i worked as a salesperson for a couple of local fastener importers. yes...i sold screws. i'm still trying to find my way in this crazy, messed up world. i spend a lot of time wondering what the future holds for me. hoping i pick the right path. sometimes, it seems as though somebody is throwing tacks on the road in front of me and i keep sidestepping them. one thing is for sure...no mother is prouder than i am of her offspring. i gave birth to two of the best young men you would ever want to meet it's highly unlikely my first date will be exploring in the country...not with someone i know very little about. a walk through the park, hit the garage sales or flea markets. everything is so expensive. i feel guilty of a guy spends too much...all my adult life i've wondered, how do guys afford to date? especially when he has a great ride, nice home, dresses like dapper dan, & has clean fingernails. now, i'll interpret what you just read. that kind of guy i described, he's not my type. i wish he was, but i don't feel i can be "myself" around that guy. i'm not saying i like socks with sandals or showing when you wear jeans (slacks are a necessity sometimes. especially if they fit good! no polyester please), bib overalls, mixed patterns, or over-accessorizing. hope you're ready to talk. i am.note: the opinions/descriptions expressed on this page are those of the author. no stereotyping has been entered into the good guy/bad guy column. note2: the author is wacky.
