About Me

I am a woman, a mother, and successful career professional who is in love with life, the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the beauty of nature. I maxed out my retirement at my job with 34 years of creditable service and I retired as of July 1, ***. While I do think I can adjust to this new lifestyle, I expect it to be temporary and do intend to return to work until my youngest son is through college. For now I'm decompressing, having some fun, doing some house projects (yes, I'm quite handy for a lady) and eventually I'll seek employment again. I'm not a lady who sits idle, so for me busy is good and my guy needs to be able to keep up the pace.I thrive on soaking up the sun, love digging in the dirt to see what flowers I can grow or landscaping project I can undertake. I enjoy live music, sports, almost anything that takes me outside, arts, traveling, family time, fine dining, casual entertaining, the beach and the mountains. The beach recharges me and time at my mountain house provides down time, fresh air and is always a nice weekend get away. In ***I was introduced to the fun of couples dancing and came to enjoy East & West Coast Swing, and a few other dances. If you enjoy couples dancing, you get bonus points and if you love swing, then double points for you, as I really do want to dance regularly again.Having lost loved ones, I know how fragile life can be. I value life, family, honesty, health. I try to be positive, make the most of each moment, eat healthy, exercise and work hard at everything I do. I made the switch to a vegetarian diet June ***. I value both organic and vegan diets, but am far from those diets at this point. I have no expectations of a vegetarian partner, but I do want a partner who will encourage me to exercise as I continue my journey to a healthier lifestyle. I work hard to remain at my ideal weight, am far from perfect and don't seek perfection, but I'm not attracted to men who are over weight. Therefore, I seek a slim, toned or athletic individual, not someone significantly over weight.I am emotionally and financially stable, so I don't "need" but do "want" a relationship. The quality man I seek should be of similar age, and understand that with a 17 year old son, I am first a mom. While dating, I hope to meet someone with whom I can eventually build a trusting relationship with a view toward an eventual long term exclusive relationship. That having been said, I seek a man who is happy, makes me laugh, values nutrition, health, shares values, pleasures, respects me and is a true gentleman. I want my partner to know how to dress when we go out, to know and use manners, open doors for me and his reassuring arm on me should give me that, "I am his his lady" feeling. Don't be mistaken, he should have enough bad boy in him to cause me to smile and shake my head in amazement at times. A beginning with physical attraction, common interests, friendship, laughter, respect and trust should be a great foundation for a solid friendship and potential relationship. My children include a married daughter, a son age 21 and a son age 17, who have always been the center of my world. My daughter graduated college, works and gave our family a beautiful child Nov ***. My oldest son is a Senior at UGA this fall (Go Dawgs!) and my youngest son is a Junior in high school. As I reflect, their childhood days have passed at lightening speed. I'm enjoying the last couple of years with a son still home, yet beginning to consider and embrace the many transitions ahead, this new phase of life....retirement, returning to the work force for a second but brief career, and the youngest son eventually leaving the nest.I am a woman with many skills,enjoy order, a well maintained yard and home. I'm comfortable in jeans/shorts and a "T", but also have an assortment of little black dresses, heels and jewelry to dress up and join you on the town. I love concerts, dancing, live music, or a quiet evening at home with my man sharing a beer by the pool or a bottle of wine as we make dinner. I want to meet my new best friend, and eventual long term partner. We are not all going to have that essential chemistry or be partners, but I will try to respond to those who contact me, for everyone deserves words and acknowledgement.I never planned to grow old alone and I still don't; However, I won't settle, so this search seems to be long and ongoing. Thanks for reading my profile. God's speed on your journey and may good health and happiness be abundant in your life as we each search for that one person who may become our life partner. "It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it". ~W. A coffee shop in the morning, a restaurant for lunch, an appetizer, a beer, a glass of wine, dinner, a frozen yogurt or a walk in the park. Anything goes as long as it affords both the opportunity to determine if we each wish to spend additional time together. Following us meeting, if we wish to see one another again, a first date could be anything we mutually decide. Surprise me and make a suggestion!

    Just cking this out. Evolved from looking for friends to wanting to date. Summer is here and I am tired of being cooped up.UpDate Okay... its time to add on some personal info. I've put it off as long as I could. I had a profile up several months ago. It described me and what I was wanting (then) nicely. I was mainly looking for friends (again, then). I've made several great friends, appreciate, treasure and hang out with them. Couple of dates hurt my feelings, couple were bizarre, couple were compared to a teeth cleaning.... but overall it was great experience. I learned alot. Since then, I've had couple big life events that opened my eyes, my heart and my mind. I realized that I wanted someone more significant to share those cool, fun things in life. ME: Direct, but politeHonest, but kind Funny, but a bit smartass Friendly, but not a pushoverOutgoing, but not obnoxious Independant, but not a b***hHappy, but a bit lonelyAdventurous, but responsibleRomantic, but not sappyCurious, but not noseyPassionate, but not wild. Well... okay ??? Intuitive, but won't questionListener, but not shyGreat Mom, but need more ME life Respectful, but not judgementalStrong, but gratefulGreat friend, Always YOU: Goodlooking, Sexy, Built, Rich, Well Read, Traveled Extensively, Well Mannered.... WAIT! Bachelorette was on in another room, that was her list. Dream On Chica! HAYOU are a mystery to be unfolded, a surprise to be enjoyed. You will be an enhancement to my strengths and a compliment to my weaknesses. You will be the *** my laughter. You will be the cause of the nervous flutter in the pit of my stomach. And hopefully you will make me breathless from your kisses. Thats right, you HAVE to be a good kisser! Bonus points if kissing was on your activity list. Outside Patio for wine, maybe a great walk along the creek. Great conversation after the initial agonizing first five minutes that everyone seems to think you can tell the chemistry from.... yeah, right????

    and live simple and straightforward. It is all about the integrity of your word. Have no fear of tomorrow and if you take really good care of today, tomorrow will find you in a good place. I make choices in my life often JUST for the experience and because I CAN.I drive a truck,live in a cabin,create rock landscaping,have a grand time laughing at myself on a regular basis.Sincerely hoping for a relationship that can knock the socks off us both...in other words comfortable enough to go barefoot. Step out of the box and maybe do something we have not done/seen/experienced...who knows maybe it will lead us on an adventure or create a connection or a new passion...what are you waiting for...this is why we are here isn't it?
