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.

    Single mom, I enjoy my job and like to ride my bicycle at an easy pace on rail trails and other paved trails around the state..Enjoy reading, movies, eating out and travel - day trips as well as longer travel, really enjoy exploring new places.Prefer to be outside to inside, love the water. Very independent; I try to make exercise / healthy lifestyle a daily thing. Hope to meet someone who enjoys being active, travel a bit off the beaten path, and likes to go and do and laugh and enjoy as much as I do,maybe even bike rides, dating and friendship at first. Prefer to talk on the phone first, then meet for a walk or dessert..

    Okay, I'm thinkin the whole black leather bike riding thing is scaring most of you away... I am a woman who is comfortable in most situations... I can look any way I choose and adapt to whatever I need to be.. a professional business woman to biker and everything in between... Just because I don't look like your fantasy woman doesn't mean I don't have value.... if looks are your primary concern and not content, I wish you well on your search...I'm a lover of being in the wind...if you're a Rider it would be nice to talk! It's not a requirement that you ride a motorcycle, but it is something I totally enjoy and it is a part of my life. I have a job, I pay my own bills, I have my own vehicle, I have a nice place to live, I have lots of friends. I don't need to be taken care of, I've been doing that just fine. I'm not a user or a taker or any of the things that men hate women for, I'm actually a warm, giving, good hearted woman who has done her best not to let life harden my heart..... I just don't have that special someone that wants to share life with me yet. Age appropriate is important to me. I would really like to find a man from my generation. ***to 60ish) Thanks for respecting this.Honesty: I am not a trophy. I'm a middle-aged grandmother, a little road-worn and a little chubby. I take care of myself, do not do drugs, only a weekend warrior when it comes to alcohol and often not even then. I love bike rallys where we can kick-it & camp for the weekend and enjoy the music and fellowship of other riders.. I am an artist and will disappear into that world occasionally leaving you to your own devices, or you can join me and get creative. I'm a homey type woman and luv to cook, but don't expect me to cook everyday, it's a shared necessity. Like to garden, flowers make me smile. Entertaining friends is a specialty. I luv fun do it yourself projects around the house. I love to travel and I'm very spontaneous.The comfort of man is golden to me, there is nothing like being in love with one another, I just haven't found that in a long time... I believe life is to be enjoyed and it's all about attitude. A good attitude will get you through anything. I have no objection to a distance relationship, but it takes work from both participants. I would consider relocation eventually, if all goes well... I'm a believer that it takes 4 seasons to really get to know a person.If your profile states your looking for a younger girl ***years younger than yourself, even if we are the same age, I won't bother to contact you... Best of luck to ya! lol Online conversation prior to meeting. A meet & greet is appropriate...First dates are too serious, expectations are usually not met. So it's just a time to have some fun and laughter and maybe a bit of music and conversation. Just something to build a friendship on.
