About Me

The Resume:My hobbies: home improvement, writing fiction, animals (dog lover, but without pets at the moment), reading, walking, going to movies, live theatre(my degree is in set design for film and TV), concerts and listening to music at home. New technology (it’s part of my job, but it can be fun), science, computers, my iPhone, Starbucks, dark chocolate (the good kind).My goals/aspirations: writing a book, researching my family history, travel-(I do like cats too, and horses) Finish some projects on my house and make it my sanctuary. Update: new floors are in the bedroom, I did some of it myself and all the painting. Not sure if I wouldn’t step on any toes, but I would like to try ballroom or couples dancing. What makes me unique: I'm sure my friends have their own opinions, but I am outgoing and confident and shy. I like being around friends and family, I am also comfortable being by myself. In my job I work with a lot of guys, techs and engineers and I am comfortable in that environment, but I also like the theatre, art, literature, I can use power tools and grew up with snakes and lizards. Music is very personal to me and taps into my emotional and fun loving side. Yeah for iTunes!!!Turn offs:Use of profanity when it isn't needed, Profiles without pictures, pictures taken in the mirror, pictures wearing only sunglasses (I have a thing for eyes) and lastly pictures that contain dead animals/fish. The Novel (in progress):Since being divorced I have decided not to settle on finding just someone, I want THE ONE. While I am a hopeless romantic, I am a realist and I understand relationships take effort. That doesn’t mean I can't write my own ending, I want someone who I can look at across a crowded room and smile knowing there is some amazing secret between us. Intimacy should start with the spoken word, an innocent touch and see where it leads from there. As I mentioned above, I work with a lot of guys, techs and engineers and I am comfortable in that environment, but I believe my salvation is my creative and intro-reflective side that has flourished over the last few years since the passing of my mother and the end of my marriage. I see the world in a completely new light and intend to make the most of this new found motivation. I can’t change my past, but I am in complete control of my destiny, conscious of the journey along the way. I would like to find someone who shares some of my interests, and even if there are some he is not avid about part taking in, he decides it makes him happy because I am happy. At the same time, I would like that special someone to expect the same of me. Letting someone 'in' to my life and I into theirs is hugely important and needs to be achieved without fear of judgment. This includes embracing each other's family as their own, socializing with mutual friends and being open to new ones. I like being around friends and family, but I'm not afraid to be alone. I am not opposed to a man who will open doors for me or who will offer their hand when I get out of a car (in fact I like that a lot), but I can take care of myself, I am far from helpless. But that doesn't mean I don't need a strong shoulder to cry on occasionally. I don’t consider myself a dare-devil or sports junky, but I don’t keep myself locked indoors all the time either. (Unless I’m writing then I can’t help it). I do know enough about sports to follow along and have ventured out to see a hockey or baseball game. You move a little more, there’s a bounce in your step and a smile on your face. Music becomes the sound track to the life you want to lead. It can reveal a few secrets without saying anything. (Are you mysterious, fun, multi-dimensional, flirty, romantic, sensual, vulnerable, a closet rock star, assertive, poetic, young at heart, emotionally available, rebellious, all of the above.) If you can relate to any or all these concepts then introduce yourself. I know the difference between a flat head and Philips screw driver, I’ve cut more than a few sheets of dry wall, have power tools of my own and don’t check the mirror every five minutes to see if I need lipstick. I’ll let you decide, I know who I am and *the one* needs to know who they are while being open to change, because everything changes. ~~~~~"One person can make a difference, and everyone should try." - JFK.'“Whatever you do (in life) will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.” Mahatma Gandhi First Date What would I like to do on my first date: It would probably depend on what transpired leading up to the first date. I think the best activity would be something fun with the opportunity to get to know my first date better, some place that also allow us the opportunity to talk, ask questions and listen to what each other may have to say. And please have a picture on your profile, my main profile picture is current ***.

    Woman. 49 years old. Zodiac sign: Aries.

    Looking for: man. In age: 46-56

    I love being outdoors. I enjoy relaxing on the patio after the yard work is done. I like most kinds of music and I love to hear it live. I enjoy reading (mostly magazines and on the internet these days). I would like to travel more than I have in the past. There is no particular thing I like for a first date except that it should be inexpensive and relatively short with an easy out. :)

    Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. These things are difficult to write, so I’m going to make a list *** paragraphs. Here goes...Ten interesting, weird, quirky things about me:1.) My three kids mean to world to me. My younger two still live at home, but are moving out in January. 2.) I only eat plain M&Ms in even numbers…I don’t eat those very often though. Peanut M&Ms on the other hand…those are shoveled in with abandon!3.) I cannot be trusted around cake.4.) I love, love, LOVE rock climbing, but I took a nasty fall last June and suffered a serious concussion. It’s taken so long to heal; I had no idea. I always wear a helmet when I lead climb, but for some reason, I didn’t that day. It’s the first time I’ve taken a spill 5.) In some of my pictures I have longish hair, in some pictures, short. It is currently short. They had to shave my head in the emergency room after I fell because I had a big open wound on the back of my head. Just kidding…I did have a big open wound on the back of my head, but they left it alone. I just decided to get it cut short…not sure if I’m going to keep it short.6.) I have Christian beliefs, but I don’t believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible. I rarely with see things in black and white. I believe that limits God somewhat...I don't believe that His love and grace can be explained in simple terms; it's so much more than any of us can fathom! 7.) I have a very weird, some might say inappropriate, sense of humor. I love to take a mundane idea/thought and run with it to the point of ridiculousness.8.) I am the youngest of 7. And no, I am not a brat…regardless of what my siblings say!9.) I lost my big brother a little over a year ago; he was in a kayaking accident. It has been a nightmare, but it has made me more appreciative of every moment and every breath.10.) I value honesty and integrity and seek someone who values the same.11.) I am muscular and have an athletic build, but I am not tiny. I’m honest about how I look, I expect the same in return. I’ve dated men who are the same height as me…that's not an issue. What bothers me is when a man says he’s a certain height...say 5'10" or so, and when I meet him, he’s the same height as me. If you're less than honest about something so obvious….it could make someone wonder what else you might be less than honest about... 12.) Oops…I said 10 things…okay…just one more.13.) I am not looking for a gym rat, but I do want someone who takes care of himself….loving the outdoors is a must! What an amazingly beautiful place we live in!I look forward to hearing from you!

    Woman. 46 years old. Zodiac sign: Cancer.

    Looking for: man. In age: 43-53

    I like to stay fit so I can enjoy all the fun, active things life has to offer like snow skiing, hiking, biking, jogging, quad riding, kick boxing,etc. but my favorite exercise is dancing, that's why I recently became certified to teach ZUMBA. My children are extremely important to me, but have become mostly self sufficient, so this time in my life is a great opportunity for me to focus on exploring my personal interests and happiness. Eventually, I'm expecting that happiness will include a fulfilling, compatible, committed relationship, but I'm ready to have fun during the journey to that destination in the meantime. Being single is fun, but I'm definitely marriage material! I was a committed wife & mother for 20 years, now just a committed Mother. Physical attraction and chemistry are a must, but emotional connection and compatibility are way more important! I know it's such a cliche to say I'm not just looking for an amazing lover, but also my best friend, but it's true and I hope to someday find exactly that. Won't settle for less ever again! One without the other will never work forever, and since "forever" is what I'm looking for, gotta have both!I can relax and enjoy snuggling up to a good movie, but do not want that to be my primary source of entertainment, so I'm definitely not looking for a couch potato! Looking for a more diverse man who tries to stay fit and active, enjoys a variety of activities from working out, sports, movies, traveling, maybe even a little culture like going to see a play?, but a definite requirement for me is someone who wants to take me out to dinner and dancing at least once in a while (hopefully til we're too old to anymore)! Dancing is such a natural high for me and since I've never taken drugs and can barely handle one glass of wine, dancing is my way of getting high and feeling free! It's also like foreplay with the right guy! So seriously, if you don't like going out dancing, don't bother contacting me. Engaging in deep, meaningful conversations will win my heart, which I wear on my sleeve. I'm an open book and not afraid of sharing my feelings and appreciate a man who's not afraid to do the same; so many of you stay guarded and afraid that showing emotion is a sign of weakness, but the opposite is true.
