About Me

A romantic at heart and a scientist by training, I'm considerate, flexible and pragmatic. My interests include literature (I'm an avid reader, especially of English authors and the classics), music, the culinary arts, science and languages. Tropical beaches are a favorite place for me. I have a Masters degree in Biology (I also studied linguistics). I am at present working as a German to English translator (I am an accredited translator). I have also worked as a high-school science teacher and am considering doing so again in the future. My favorite hobby is cooking healthy, tasty food (but I'm not a vegetarian, I like meat and fish) and I have read a lot of books on nutrition. I pride myself on my talent for creating delicious new recipes using fresh ingredients. I'm well-rounded in interests and abilities. As far as relationships are concerned, I was in a very long-term relationship (to all intents and purposes, we were like a married couple). It would be great if I could meet someone whose personality is compatible with mine, who is optimistic and enjoys life. The person I am looking for should be flexible and not too rigid in their thinking (but please note that I am myself also very flexible and willing to make compromises). Chemistry is an absolutely crucial factor, and it could convince me to waive some (or many!) of my other criteria. Imagination and creativity would be a great plus in your favor, and it would be particularly nice if you are fond of literature. I would like to have a casual conversation on the first date - it would be nice if we could meet for a meal.

    I am independent and intelligent, although I think it's more interesting to be curious than smart. I'm interested in people-- all kinds. I like hearing about others' perspectives on life. I don't have to agree with you (or you with me) to like or even love you. I've traveled a lot, walked some interesting paths, and have had some even more interesting detours along the way. I love that. I try to live in the moment as much as possible, or at least slow down enough to find meaning in what's going on around me. That said, I can be silly and playful; I love to laugh and make you laugh too.I'm in a helping field and my professional life is an important part of who I am. Most important of course are my children. If you have children you understand that. And you understand unconditional love. I definitely like to have fun when not working; movies, dinners out, wine, live music, cooking, friends, travel. I've been divorced for a while and have dated, but have not been ready for anything serious. My children are a little older now, more independent, and I hope to have more and more time to offer to a relationship. After my divorce I thought I did not want to marry again. What I really want is to commit myself to a person and they to me. If that means marriage that's great. If not, that's ok too. I want to meet people, hopefully make some friends, and be smart enough to recognize the right person when he comes along.Thanks for reading. Early evening... A cozy corner in a busy restaurant for a drink or dinner.

    About me? Well, it depends on who's looking and what you want to see. I guess, silly in the morning and goofy in the night. Love to run in the rain and dance in the biggest puddles. Not afraid to get wet. Playful and always willing to share my Oreos and big glass of ice cold milk. Tender ears to listen, soft words to voice a strong opinion. Educated enough to build the most awesome sandcastles on the beach. Yet still can converse about the brainiest of thoughts. Kind of the Tomboy next door ...and a ball cap will dress up about anything . That's what you will mostly find me in. But if needed, there is maturity , trust, and loyalty that is found deep within. It takes a lot to bring me down. High spirited...kind of a TIGGER X 2!!! Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy. Yet, often found quiet, lost in thought, even speechless and lost for words. If a tear ever falls, it will always be wiped. Fingers and toes are for tickling quite often. Jokes always need to be told. A sincere heart filled... just waiting for that 'Knight in Shining Armor' to capture it all. Oh, by the way, I dress up quite well! Quite old fashion...cooking for a man is always a delight. Two hands that need to be held...tender and sweet but are yet strong to care for the weak. Deep blue eyes that will dance when they see your smile or when you play our music and we dance under the stars. It's all about truth...there can be no lies. A small nose that is soft and cheeks that smile responding to your laughter. Arms that hug so tenderly and warm. I dance, I play, I pray...a moment for all! Respect is the greatest gift friends can give. There's just so much to tell... I can go on and on. I've traveled the world far and wide and seen it all. Yet , a great vacation.. A good back rub only for a few moments, but it can take you a world away. Simple and sweet...deeply caring and honest, this is pretty much Me! Laughter is my favorite song. Friendship is where it starts. Must take me as I am. No chance of fixing, changing, repairing....... Just a plain old "Raggedy Anne Doll". Just a plain old girl. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~: ~~~~ Time go by so quickly~~~Moments are so important.They fade before we know it. LIfe is to precious. Talk to the ones you love more. Dance under the stars on a summer's night.Sing in the shower, and of course make a crazy hair doo with shampoo...no one's watching!Stop putting off what needed to be done yesterday.Listen and learn what compassion is. Be kind to a strangers. Say the words ' I'm sorry' a whole lot more and mean them. We've all been hurt but let it go.Free your spirit , heart and soul. Feel the wind on your face and taste a rain drop.Be sure though.... it's not a dead BUG!Laugh....really laugh and take time to play!Look outside your box and give a smile to a stranger even when life is dark. And more than anything.....find time to pray and give thanks to the Lord above.~Author....Just a silly 'ole' girl! ~We can start with a hello and go from there! No rules, no laws just see where our hearts and minds will lead us. Something stress free and simple, yet our time will be just right. How 'bout just a simple walk in the rain?????? ~ And if by chance...I'm not your type....That's OK! I do hope my life , my feelings and my words have moved you in a special way. Take just a piece of what you've read with you and try it out. Go ahead , color out of your box. A smile can really lift you on a cloudy day. I wish you the best!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***put this on your***profile if you***know someone that***died of old age***looking for their***perfect match***on a dating site!!!!!

    I like traveling and visiting new places. I like nature, like to hike and explore , etc. I not a major camper but do enjoy being outdoors. I love going to the movies, out to eat, and good conversation. I like to meet new people and consider myself a people person. People watching can be fun too. I am patriotic but not real political. I enjoy athletic events spectating and participating in some. I really like walking outdoors and staying fit. I am a small town girl with values. I live in the country where it is quiet and enjoy that, but I did enjoy living in a big city too. My children and family are very important to my life. Volunteering is something I enjoy and I love helping people, surprising them, etc. I like to read, cook, play board games, learn new things and explore, and listen to music(most kinds). I like computers but are not the best at working on them. I am learning though. I love to travel but have not gotten to do a lot of that lately. I work more than one job so do not have lots of time but I like to stay busy. I love the elderly and work with them for my part time job . I work for the local Area Department of Aging teaching them exercise classes and getting people to volunteer for them. I do a lot of public speaking too. I am also a teacher for my full time job, so it is good that I love kids! I work with middle school students mainly teaching English and Math. IBesides loving other people's children, I have two wonderful sons, ages 16 and 24, of my own. Both sons have always been busy and active too. I do not have much time left of being taxi mom and sports/activities mom. I am finding myself with more time for socializing than I used to have. Though it is one of the toughest jobs that I know of , I love being a mom. I enjoy making new friends and dating. I would definitely be interested in a long term relationship with the right person. You can ask me anything, and I will be honest.. I feel that is necessary in any good relationship. I am also trustworthy, compassionate, loving, giving, caring, and good-hearted. Laughing and talking together to get to know someone is important. I believe that having a good sense of humor and being able to laugh at oneself is important too. I believe there needs to be some spark or chemistry for things to develop beyond a friendship. The physical attraction has to be there as well. Beauty is on the inside and the outside both, and what is beautiful to one is not necessarily beautiful to another. I am up for just about anything but I think that someplace loud is not the best for the initial meeting unless you plan for someplace quiet later in the date. I have had a lot of fun activity dates too. Just warn me what to wear. LOL
