About Me

Easy-going, grounded, good sense of humor, and on the intellectual side are fair self-descriptors. I love my work but it is not my life. I'm a realist; and still manage to be positive... I might choose a nice log cabin in the mountains by a lake over a crowded beach unless the crowded beach is the entry point for scuba diving. This is not to say I haven't jet down to cabo for some R&R. I just head for the less crowded areas of beach. I have come to deeply appreciate simple pleasures like taking my dog to the dog park, growing my own vegetables and watching shadows on the landscape as the sun sets. I want to remain as healthy as possible, so I eat fairly healthy and workout. I tend to read quite a bit and like staying current on world events. I love family despite their dysfunction... lol... and believe in the golden rule. I communicate honesty my likes and needs, won't judge nor try to change what anyone else likes and needs. I value depth in relationships and love learning about other people's life journey to-date. Learning about wine and food pairing has been a fun hobby, and by no means am I an expert, but I try.. I hike in the Sierras with my dog and love anything outdoors, including a backyard picnic. Other likes include live music, comedy theatre, travel, entertaining, cooking, scuba, swimming, exploring. I hope to meet a college-educated, unpretentious, healthy man. I have stepchildren who are now grown. I loved helping to raise children, and look forward to learning about yours if you have children, and if you do not that is fine too. If any of this resonates, do say hello :) A walk in the park, a glass of wine, coffee, a local event, the dog park... whatever, I'm flexible.

    Woman. 47 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.

    Looking for: man. In age: 44-54

    Hello... I'm an outgoing, sporty woman who's been dedicated to her career as an art director/graphic artist for the past 20 years or so, but have recently gone back to culinary school to become a pastry chef!I'm passionate about the outdoors and find any excuse to be outside, especially in the nice weather. When I'm not working I can usually be found playing softball, volleyball, at spin class, skiing, or baking some elaborate cake for some occasion.I also have a strong appreciation for the arts - I play guitar, piano & sing (used to be in a band - a LONG time ago); I draw/paint, but never seem to find the time to do anything worthwhile - pretty much because I'm usually busy designing for clients.- headliners or unknowns.I tend to be very outgoing at social events, but can be shy at other times. I find it sometimes difficult to completely open up to someone until I feel really comfortable with them.I adore to travel, and have done a fair amount in my life - my ideal would be to find someone to explore the world with and go on new adventures with, both within the US and abroad.All-in-all, I'm looking for someone to have fun with (a sense of humor is a MUST -- the more sarcastic, the better), someone who puts family and friends first, and someone who can turn me on with just a look. A great smile and non-smoker is a must! As well as an answer to the question, if laughter is the best medicine, who's the idiot who claimed they "died laughing-?"
