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.

    Alluring blend of brains, passion, integrity and upbeat energy. Warm, pretty, fun and savvy, yet unjaded and high in irony. Seeks adventure without the drama. I'm a tall blonde with blue eyes (somewhere between friendly and fiesty). My life is about saying, "Yes, let's do it!," savoring big and small pleasures, and treasuring family, work and friends. I am mom to three wonderful boys ... two of which are grown. I have a positive outlook on life and do NOT like to be around negative people. The simple things in life make me happy. Seeks company with soul and wit. Smarts (street or otherwise), with a healthy dose of humility, appeal to me. Looking to meet someone with varied interests, intellectual curiosity, integrity and a great sense of humor for a drink ... possibly more. My perfect match is kind, strong in character, family-oriented and handsome to me. He works hard but knows how to relax too! He's emotionally available and interested in pursuing a long-term relationship...and most importantly, does what he says he will do. I would love to meet someone to share my interests and who would introduce me to his as well. I don't have a mental picture of the man I'm hoping to meet. I'll know it's him by the chemistry we share. It's not about what you drive, live in, wear or your monetary gain as much as it is how comfortable you are with it. Hopefully, by now, your baggage is down to a carry-on! :) I know that you are out there. If you think it's you, then say hello! What have we got to lose? ;-)By the way, if you're married, don't bother me. If you're separated, I'm not interested. Don't waste my time (or yours) until you've been divorced for at least a year. Till then, you're not ready! A nice dinner in a quiet restaurant so we can talk and get to know each other. Or you can just surprise me!***\\***Please***\\\***put this***on your***account***if you know***\\\***someone who***\\***has died***\***of cancer***\\\***or is fighting***\\\***it now...***!!!***Put this on your***!!!***page if you---!!!!!!!!!!!***know someone in the***!!!***Armed Forces or to***!!!***show your support***!!!***and respect to all***!!!***our troops!

    "Real men don't love the most beautiful girl in the world, they love the girl who can make their world the most beautiful"Hi! Just dropping a few lines about myself, so sit back and enjoy...lol! Although I have a serious side, I enjoy a laugh, joke or witty comment just about any time of day and believe if you can dish it you'd better be able to take it...however being deliberately mean or hurtful just sucks. I also enjoy cooking/baking, good movies and documentaries, long slow walks, a good book, lovin' on my kids and grandkids, spending time with friends, my cat and last but not least, singing along to karaoke or the car radio (former member of Sweet Adeline's acapella choir***I would love to sing a song for you too. I enjoy almost all genre's of music, with the exceptions of opera, heavy metal and certain kinds of rap. Currently my favourite is country - back to my roots. 'You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl'...lol. I firmly believe that any relationship depends on two things: trust, which must be earned and honesty, which must be given. being genuine and open minded are other qualities that I admire in others. Kind and warm hearted is a must! Romance has been gone from my life for a long time and is sorely missed. I believe sexy is in the attitude, not just the appearance, and that anything worth having is worth putting effort into. Communication is key. Even though I am generally a homebody, I do love to go out on "dates", may seem a little old fashioned, but is definitely fun. Public displays of affection, must be welcomed or at least tolerated easily...lol I can also be spontaneous and like a "little run for my money"....spice up my life. P.S. Respect and Common Sense goes a long way with me. I grew up with excellent morals and values and hold on to those to this day (not to say I am perfect, far from it indeed).I know that a persons physicality is not a measuring stick to "size" up a persons worth, but I am a tall woman and prefer someone at least my height or taller ***cm). I am working out and getting more exercise and cooking healthier, making a better me with a brighter, healthier outlook on life.Life is short, take a chance and always remember...." Time flies like and arrow, Fruit flies like a banana " ....pun intended! No pic? not willing to supply one? - I think there are reasons for this, don't be offended if I do not respond to your requests.Happy fishing!!! A get-to-know-you date, nothing stressful or full of pressure, maybe a coffee or glass of wine and enough privacy to talk without having to yell at each other....short, sweet and too the point...just like me, except I'm tall...lol
