About Me

Hi Guys, I am a busy single mom to my very active boys ages 11 and 15. I love watching them play football, baseball and basketball and I am an active volunteer with their teams. They are with me full time and they are my life. But they are old enough now for me to be able to enjoy some guilt-free ME time.I've been single for 8 years, divorced for 4 and am new to this dating thing - especially the online dating thing. It's like feeling my way around in the dark - will you hold the flashlight for me? I don't know the "rules" if there are any, and I probably would not follow them even if I did. Update: if you have dating "rules", I can only respect them (or not) if I know what they are - that requires communication. I am a BIG fan of communication!My friends tell me I don't know when I am being flirted with. I guess it takes a brick to my head. I just don't like assuming things and then looking foolish. Plus, if one wanted to, one could read something suggestive into just about any conversation. That can be fun - as long as we're on the same page! Humiliating if not!I hate playing the guessing game just TELL ME what's on your mind. That said, I do prefer directness. It CAN be done tactfully, kindly, and with openess and honesty - a must for all my relationships.I am an open book - ask me anything and know that my answers will be completely honest. Not everyone is an open book and that's okay, as long as what you DO put out there is truthful.I can play poker with the best of them but much prefer to lay my cards on the table and think it would be a much nicer world if we all did the same.I wear my heart on my sleeve but am not naive; don't underestimate me ;) I practice living a simple, uncluttered life in the here and now. I would much rather DO things than have things - creating precious memories that last a lifetime. I have learned that the key to happiness and contentment is quite simply - gratitude.Things I like doing... Walking the beach Photography Gardening Home improvements Watching NFL (Steelers Fans need not apply;) Jewelry making Mariners Games Road trips to nowhere Cookouts with family and friends Camping Hiking Reading Writing Things I have not done in a long time but would like to do again... Ski River raft Golf Dance Kiss Bucket List: The above list and... Get a tattoo (update - check! As my boys say, "YOLO!"You must have a sense of humor and not take life or yourself too seriously. I don't care about your weight, profession, income, motorcycles, boats or cars, how many times you work out a week, or all the places you have been (although a Harley trip would be fun! lol!) I do care if you are kind, compassionate, loving, responsible, respectful, respected, emotionally well-adjusted and generally fun to be around. And you gotta love long, passionate kisses that stop time.Thanks for reading...PS You guys are so damn cute holding up your little (and Big!) fishies with those proud looks on your faces. Just precious! ;) I'm not picky.

    ~ Its crazy that cyber~dating is just like going for a job interview; Such a sales pitch. After my first attempt to swim around in this pond, I took a break from the "catch and release" that was happening. So Im back to the watering hole to see what might come of it .....Alright , I'll give a few adjectives to describe myself ~. Im intuitive, a good communicator (I've learned the art of listening), Im relational, social, affectionate, sensative, hardworking, opinionated, silly/playful, intentional, adventurous, generous, creative productive, tranparent, forgiving, nurturing. I love the laid back livestyle where i live here on Whidbey Island ~ I enjoy what island living has to offer, kayaking out to the mussel beds to see the resident seals, beautiful hikes along the cliffs at Ebeys Landing, beachcombing and rock picking on our shores. My exercise of choice is hiking, walking, & swimming. Health and nutrition are important to me. Cooking is a pleasure. Its an art form, since I rarely follow a recipe. I have a small garden. Eventhough Im not an "over the top" greenie, i get into recycling, composting and generally attempting to minimize and simplify. its turned into a kind of purposeful hobby. Im also an aspiring writer. Im working on a book and a memoir for my kids. I studied interior design *** My home is a reflection of my creativity.My 2 youngest are still in my nest and my 3 goregous, accomplished older daughters are young adults, living their lives. All of my kids amaze me. wherever we are or whoever we are with, people constantly tell me the impression they've made, and how interesting and enjoyable they are. I could never accomplish a greater goal than to produce and raise such wonderful human beings. I love being a mom ~ I love being their mom!Well guys, thats me in a nutshell ~Please do me the courtesy to 1st be fiscally and relationally responsible ( by that I mean, that past loves and family relationships are reconciled and cleaned up) and please be employed ~ I have that in place and would appreciate the sameNot that I have a criteria that is set on stone. I've never had a "Type" when it comes to men, but there are some qualities in a man that really "get me". ~ a masculine, strong, sexy voice~ the rugged, casual type , but underneath the sweat of his brow, you can see that he cleans up nicely~ the comfortable, cuddly type ~ i feel easy in his presence , & everybody else doesa hint ~ real ladies are responders not initiators. Be the man, take the lead. Let us real women be the woman we want to be ~ if we are interested, we will always respond to every and all of your advances, but we wait for you to make the moves. Its not a feminine qualitiy in my book to pursue, but its to be pursued in the courting stages. More times than not, you guys end up with some trouble from women who take the mans role, but I realize with "womens lib" , its now the norm, and men expect women to be a part of the pursuing process So if you are waiting for the a lady to get a hold of you, make the first move, or keep the ball rolling, you may be missing an opportunity to be with the right kind of feminine women. ~For what its worth~ A cafe or restaurant with a cozy corner where we can visit and get to know each other. if we still would like to let the time linger because things are going well, it would be nice if we were located near an area where we could take a walk around. This is conventional enough so that one of us could leave if its not working out, but if it is, there are other options

    I am a very simple person, I love to cook, stay home, watch movies and also go out and have fun. I also like the outdoors, camping, boating, motorcycle riding, though I don't have one! It doesn't take much to make me happy, I love to laugh and have fun. I have two boys and the three of us are pretty close. I am a hard worker, determined, smart, happy-go-lucky. I enjoy working out. My three favorite things are red wine, almonds, and coffee!! I love affection and also love to give affection. I can be a very touchy feely person.I don't just want to txt or ***, I feel meeting face to face you can tell if there is something there or not..not into wasting time! My first date would be to go for a drink or coffee, get to know each other...and then go from there!
