My first day as an online dater, a "gentleman" (perhaps appropriately self-titled as Kidneyshovel) asked me to come over and hang out in his basement at 11 PM. Hmmm.....not really a basement kind of girl.And so it goes, here I am, again, giving it a try...I love books. I fantasize about being trapped in a library for months and reading all the books on my wish list (IQ84), and all the books I'd love to experience again (Of Human Bondage), and all the books I didn't really like, if only to give them the second chance they deserve (sorry Moby-Dick).I am deeply affected by beauty--even something as small as the way light makes shapes on a dusty floor. Colors, fabrics, fashion, buildings, birds, all attract and hold my eye. I can't help but assign meaning, which probably isn't there, to the smallest visual details.I love dancing, well, any kind of movement really. I like to tiptoe and twirl, cartwheel and climb, leap and lunge, sway and swoon. Take me dancing and we're off to a swimming start. I don't think adults are playful enough. I'd like to meet someone who has a healthy sense of play and fun.These are a few of my favorite things:TV: Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire (loving season 4), Six Feet Under, House of Cards, early seasons of Parks and Rec.-Up Bird Chronicles (love everything by Murakami), The Executioner's Song, The History of Love, Sophie's Choice...A few of the things I can do:**Palm a basketball (a woman with very large--yet feminine!--hands)**Dominate the scrabble board (a woman of many words)**Recite a few Shakespearean sonnets (a woman inspired by beauty)**Knock back a dozen cookies in one sitting (a woman of serious appetites)**Fall asleep within 30 seconds of my head contacting the pillow (a woman with a clean conscience)**Rock funky leopard heels, skinny jeans and t-shirt (a woman with a sense of fashion)***I am a few years older than my age posted here, but men often cap their search at ***an age I can easily pass for (: If you find the fact that I've done this dishonest (which is weird since I'm stating it here), then there are certainly no hard feelings on my end, but chastising me as your opening line, well...honestly, I'd prefer to be invited to a basement by Kidneyshovel. Something short and sweet: a walk through the park or at the beach (not the boardwalk though as I was run over by a drunk bicyclist on a meetville date!), or a glass of wine.I don't exchange phone numbers (and for very good reason--the whole one bad apple spoils the whole barrel thing), so we will have to arrange things via messages through meetville. If we meet and, god forbid, we are not a match, let's end things gracefully. And by gracefully I mean no hard feelings and no need for follow up *** the initial recognition and so-be-it-I-wish-you-well exchange. We've all been there, or at least had the impulse to want to keep writing, but my lack of interest is not a statement about your value and vice versa.

Cooler than the other side of the pillow...:)Okay, not really. I am not cool at all. I am a music nerd. I don't go out a lot but would like to change that. I do love to play piano/keyboard, write my own music and attempt to sing. I like to read even if it's just the back of my Muscle Milk to check protein grams...I am always learning something whether it's new music or baseball stats. I love the SEC and although most of my family graduated from Ole Miss I will always root for the SEC team if they are playing foreigners...anyway, you know what I mean. I have 3 beautiful children, 2 of which are grown and don't live with me. My youngest daughter, 15, still lives with me and keeps me in check when I have road rage. Bless her. Life is so short...I mean, I feel like I just got to the party and other people are leaving. I may just start my own party in the back room, I don't know. :) I am looking for something specific and when he shows up we'll be in business. I can't say what it is because I would have to sing it. I want someone to look across a crowded room at me and give me shivers with his magic...I'm going to find this and devour it like a chocolate oatmeal cookie...you just wait and see:) Baseball game...live music, but not so loud we can't talk...Meet me in the meat department of Kroger...pretend we don't know each other (because we don't) and see if either of us can get chills...and not just because it's 47 degrees:)

I'm all about the simple things, the little moments that remind you what life is all about. I love trying new things, meeting new people, new experiences, learning, traveling, experiencing different cultures, making memories, spending time with family and friends, etc. I'm really into (all kinds of) music, and I try to get to as many live shows as I can. My music tastes range from indie rock to rap to country to classical piano to pop to classic rock and blues. I love being outdoors, off-roading, camping. I'm a soccer mom, as well as a band parent (teen cover band, not school band) and I love it. So, a lot of my evenings and weekends are spent at soccer games or music gigs. I have one teen daughter, and being the best parent I can be is by far the most important role in my life. I would love to meet someone like-minded who is looking for the whole package. I'm not necessarily looking to get married, but I'd like to find someone who is actually open to a serious relationship.I appreciate a gentleman. I am kind of a hopeless romantic in that sense. They come in all shapes and sizes, conservatives to tatted-up bikers. I'm more interested in the person you are inside and how we connect. I don't have a "type", physically.Other qualities I appreciate: respectful, family-oriented, down to earth, open, funny, sincere. Most importantly, someone who is honest and genuine. First dates I like to keep simple. I'm open, as long as there's no pressure.
