About Me

My heart is on the trail between jagged, snow-capped peaks and rushing waters. Call me a determined optimist. I believe passionately in leaving a better world. I am spirited, smart, inquisitive, happily feminine, fit, passionate, and active. I’;Be joyful despite the facts." Among the identities I’ve worn and enjoyed are journalist, Congressional policy aide, and teacher. Being "mom" has been my most cherished role, and though that work is largely done, the pleasure of independent adult sons remains.For me, one kind of perfect day is a hike during the river roar of snowmelt just as tender lilies shoot up through the last glints of winter. I carry paper scraps and scribble notes for stories and poems. Then they go through the wash forgotten in my pockets but somehow, I remember key words. And pictures are indeed worth a thousand, so I *** clouds above tree line and between ridges. Share with me what brings awe to your life. I seek a co-conspirator for adventures, romance, comedy and laughter, delight, and trying on ideas. We all have tall wish lists. A few on mine: I want you to be smart, passionate, emotionally available, adventurous, kind, interested in personal growth, physically fit, and able to see the humor in life. Ideally, we are both lifelong learners. But not perfect ;-)I'm really looking for a best friend with whom I share playful, intellectual, physical and emotional chemistry. In my thinking, best friends do things together--apart, and sometimes separate things side by side. Though I can and do wear velvet gowns and enjoy a dressy night out--see photos, I'm most comfy in denim. I’m a passionate explorer and am hoping to meet someone with passions and experiences both similar and different than mine. There are many places and things I’ve yet to experience. For example, I'd enjoy learning to snowboard or ski. I am comforted standing next to glaciers that make me feel small. If you lose me on the trail, chances are I’ve found the perfect womb in an ancient tree to nest in.If you have a kayak or canoe, bonus points. If you can reteach me to flyfish or might learn with me, more bonus points. I adore being read to. Semi-sweet chocolate or a hand-picked bouquet will delight me. I love the city, too--plays, music, comedy, fine dining, etc. Yet if I had to choose between mountains and skyscrapers, I'd stop in the city on the way to or from the peaks. I can live in either the wilds or the city, and like to be reasonably close to both. Travel is a must here and there--that's part of the experience v. stuff.Being playful brings balance as I make my living with my head. Of course, all the usual apply. I cry at movies where the dog grows old and dies. You’ll find me enjoying all varieties of film, and I’m not above renting children’s movies that make me laugh. History fascinates me. I can root for the Seahawks win or lose. Good thing, huh?I’m very much a grown-up and still like stuffed animals that squeak. Though I'd love it if you lived next door already, I cannot be flexible on those four "chemistry" qualities, so I'm open to a wee bit of distance, as my work and life have some flexibility.--depends on cards in the next hand.I wish you the best. Let's chat about favorite people and journeys, walk and talk, and be ready for the possibility of magic. At the same time, I'm always open to new friendships--so "no pressure" on a first date is important.

    Super laid back and fun loving. Looking to meet new people and go exploring. Love to cook, read, travel and anything having to do with the water. Entertaining by the pool with the grill and blender going is the perfect Saturday. Outdoor blues shows are also a favorite. If anything appeals, give a shout! Something casual......meet for a beer somewhere by the water.

    Updated: Sept.1, ***I am a fun gal in many ways. I am very easy to talk to and be with. I am this way because...I am real and live in the present. I will not judge you but just want to spend time with you because I find it can be much more fun together than alone! I like to go anywhere or stay home and enjoy laughing and chatting together. I have learned not to take life so seriously and just enjoy the moment.I am the type that can dress up or be casual but either way, I will look good for you! I am more a girly girl but do not take forever to get ready. As far as emotions, I am not into drama and can't stand arguing or disrespect. I am very accepting of all but still seeking chemistry and the man that drives me crazy when I look at him.We all have our deal breakers and so do I. I seek a gentleman that looks good in shorts, sweats, casual dress but also knows how to clean up. I strive to stay fit and healthy and am seeking the same. I am a positive, joyful person and like a man that can joke and make me laugh. I love a close friendship and communication builds closeness. I will not be a perfectionist and never try to change you. I will accept you for who you are and will love you like crazy in every way.......if we are right for each other. Do not contact me if you are still playing the field....I've done that and I'm done with that but do contact me if you want a real kind woman in a real relationship.Deal breakers....you smoke, are not fit, bad smile or teeth, older than 55, younger than 42, live with parents, ratty car, don't have timeMost of my pictures are a few months old but one is a few years old. Coffee or a drink would be wonderful! However, if you like to be active such as going for a walk, that would be great too!

    Hi. I'm looking to meet new people, and see where things go. I love to talk with different people, so don't be afraid to message me! :o) I am a smart ass with a silly sense of humor, but can be serious too. And YES, my pictures are current. I really DO look that young. (Thank Goodness...or this dating thing would really suck! ) :oPI like guys who like to talk and be silly .....I wish guys would not have the fishnet stockings and garter fantasies, cause that totally leaves me off the radar...lol. And i don't do heels...!! I just like jeans and a tee shirt and I'm fine. :o)I love to write poems, about what I'm thinking about (or WHO I'm thinking about) so on any given day i'll be posing my thoughts in poetry form (mostly to my coworkers who live vicariously through my crazy thoughts sometimes)...ask if you want to know more about that. Oh yea, I'm a parrot head. Love to see Jimmy in concert (probably been 7 or 8 times now). :oPI believe in ghosts, and astrology (its fun to read at least) and that there are more intelligent beings on this planet than us and that we should tread lightly where we go....don't litter. (ok, tree hugger and a vegetarian...you got me) and no, that doesn't mean YOU have to be a vegetarian or give up your steaks and hamburgers.I have a daughter 20 and a son 16. I spent 7 years in the Navy, so i like talking with Military or former Military guys. :o)Anyway...enough about me. Anything else you want to know, just ask. And if I message you to say hi, it doesn't mean I want to marry you necessarily, I could just be saying hi, so no .need to freak out and close the chat right away like you were bitten by a rattlesnake!. :oP if I like you, it really doesn't matter what we do.......as long as I'm smiling at the end of the date.
