I've found that having balance in my life is very important. Lately things have skewed more towards my kids and work than I would have liked, but hopefully I can swing things back in the other direction soon. On the weekends we try to get out and enjoy the city. Eat lunch on a sunny patio, explore a new neighborhood, hit the park or the zoo, or grill out with friends. Weeknights are mostly spent at kid activities or at home getting things done. My daughters are five now and I love that they have more of a voice in what we do. It's nice not to have to make all the decisions, all the time.I´m open minded, honest, loyal, and generous. I've been told I have a strong personality, but I think that just means I'm not passive/aggressive. I love a good debate, a good meal, and a great glass of wine. I love to spend time at home, but try to be social as well. I´m a project manager by trade so I´m definitely organized which can come in handy. I´m a planner, but not of the crazy variety, I just like to make sure I get to the things I want to get to. I try to be more of a saver then a spender, eat more whole foods than processed, and leave work at work (although not lately, I need to work on that!) I´m looking for a partner in life. Someone who challenges me, but supports me. I make a lot of decisions throughout the day and appreciate when someone else can step in and be decisive in any situation. I want someone to plan adventures with, someone who is willing to think big to make it all happen. Someone who understands what is important, and more importantly what isn´t. Someone who is past the bar scene and ready for commitment and marriage. Between work and home my life is a little hectic and crazy, but there is definitely room for someone in it. I think a good first date allows you to really get to know the other person's personality which means conversation! A cup of coffee, a glass of wine, a beer on a patio - anywhere that you can talk and interact. Bonus if you pick the place and it allows room to do something after, just in case things are going really well.

When asked how it is possible that a woman who is passionate about life, love, family, kids, cooking, and everything else can be single, my reply is that I haven't found someone who can match my awesomeness. Yes, I know. "She sure is full of herself". Yes. And I expect everyone to love themselves enough to not settle for anything less than awesomeness in their lives. My teenagers, my family, my friends, my job, just my life in general is full and happy. And anyone who comes into my life is already living a full and happy life. If you are living that full and happy life and really love who you are, you are awesome! I rarely send messages first, only when something in your profile strikes me as interesting or funny. Similarly, I expect the first message I get from you will make me smile or pique my interest. I probably won't reply if you don't have something interesting to say. ("Hi" is not likely to catch my attention.)Maybe I'm picky, but I think everyone should be. I also like chivalry. I appreciate a man who holds doors open, orders for me at restaurants (but lets me choose my own food/drink unless I ask you to decide for me...which after a long week of making a million different decisions has a tendency to happen now and then.), is polite to those in the service industry, and makes everyone feel important.

Woman. 36 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.
Looking for: man. In age: 33-43
Here's a few things to know: Halloween is my favorite holiday. I love coffee and I'm not a morning person. The promise of coffee and sugar are the ONLY things that get my sorry butt out of bed in the morning. After which, I don't make my bed, except maybe on the weekends, but that's a big maybe. I've never seen The Notebook, so the chances of my making you sit through it are pretty slim. I do love scary movies though and if you're a fraidy cat don't worry, I'll hold your hand :) On the more ridiculous end of the spectrum I am completely terrified of spiders, so you (hopefully) should not be. Yes, I know it's irrational and ridiculous; at least I own it!Hmmm...what else....I find myself getting sucked into Law and Order marathons frequently, but my dirtly little TV secret is Wipeout. Watching people voluntarily subject themselves to getting the crap kicked out of them provides me with endless entertainment (I am easily entertained? Yes.) Okay, moving on.... If there's an easy way and a hard way to do something, I'm going the hard way each and every time. Sometimes on purpose and sometimes not; I can be pretty stubborn and won't let anyone tell me what I can or cannot do; I'm always up for a challenge. I'm a pretty kick-!), but I'm no gourmet chef; don't ask me to make you a porkchop. Overall, I'm pretty low-maintenance; a friend once described me as the girliest tomboy he ever met. Maybe it has something to do with growing up in a house full of boys? I don't worry about the rain messing up my hair, breaking a nail or running to the store without looking perfectly made-up. When I laugh, I do it out loud, no holds barred if it's funny. Funny is good. In general, I like people that are different than me; i don't need a twin. I like having the opportunity to see a new perspective or a different way of thinking. My interests range from dance, I take ballet, modern and jazz, to reading, to rocking out to the Deftones while (attempting to) clean my house, to hanging out at the beach (rain or shine, I love watching the waves). What I'm looking for? Possibility. Someone who could enjoy pajama Sundays and banana chocolate chip pancakes when it's a monsoon outside and building a fort out of blankets and watching movies is a better option than leaving the house. And now, the fine print: I'm a few months out from a pretty big surgical repair of my foot/ankle (see above reference to love of dance...), and am still in rehab/recovery, so although I'm getting back into being active I can't go crazy just yet! First dates can be weird; it's like trying to make new friends all over again. Second dates are usually better; less feeling like we're in a mutual interview. Meeting for a drink, GoKart Racing, or a walk around Greenlake is fun or anywhere where there's good people-watching. I've found that if there's chemistry, it doesn't matter what you're doing. It's just effortless.
