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. 46 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.

    Looking for: man. In age: 43-53

    Me:FunOutgoingGreat sense of humorEnjoy cooking and attempting gourmet dishes (even better when cooking with a partner). Always up for trying new places to eat***anything nonchain is cool, even little mom and pop places. Sometimes they are the best!Love being outdoors doing just about anything-especially if its on the water. Gotta love the beach! Really want to buy a kayak--Like trying new thingsMajor music lover***everything from OMD, Bob Dylan, Creed to Shinedown and Seether. LOVE going to concerts.........check them out for sure if you are into up and coming bands. Neil Peart from Rush is the best drummer of all time!Must like dogs....I have a couple-- they are old and have been with me a long time.I am a wine maker.......don't hate me....lol***extra points awarded if you know my favorite player of all time Vladimir Konstantinov!No kids of my own-- don't mind if you do though (kids are great)Love having friends over for cookouts etc..... and enjoy being socialI feel very blessed to have the life that I do and to be surrounded by a circle of caring friendsUsed to love playing the "two options" game with my friends for hours on boring summer afternoons....you know, "Pepsi or Coke" or "Stones or Beatles" you can learn a lot about another person by playing this game :) I have always gotten stuck when asked "Music or Lyrics"***but if pressed I would always have to say lyrics first. Anyway, here is one of my favorite lyrics***do you know this one (no fair Googling it)???"Oh It's cold and lonely here in this telephone boothThere's three sides to every story, babyThere's yours and there's mine and the cold, hard truth I think there's somethin' missin' 'round here I don't know where it's goneBut it's a long way back home"I have a variety of pics on here***most of them dated to give some perspective. The most recent from May.Update: You know, I have always wondered about people who post "updates" to their profiles. lol Sometimes what they have to say can be downright negative. I have not wanted to do this because that is just not who I am at my core. But after having been on this site for a little bit, I am amazed at all the guys that feel the need to lie. Don't say you are looking for a relationship when all you are looking for is a hook up. Don't say you are single or separated when you are out and out married. It really makes you wonder whether or not there are honest people out there. And, I realize that this is not just a male phenomenon***I hear from enough guys that women on here lie too, so I am not man bashing for sure. But, if you decide to contact me, please just be honest and I will be too!Oh.....and guys....."just say no" to the bathroom shots......OK? LOL Pretty open here......glass of wine and good conversation? It is about the company more than the activitiy!
