About Me

I am the proud mom of two successful children who are in their mid-twenties, have finished college and Grad school, are financially stable, and live on their own. My daughter recently got married (July 14, ***, and my son has been with his gf for almost 4 years now. Family, immediate and extended, is very important to me. I am a 26-year veteran special education teacher. I teach children with emotional, psychological, and social disabilities. I consider myself fortunate to LOVE my "kids" at school, to LOVE my job, and to work with people who are my BEST friends! I not only teach during the regular school year, but I also teach six weeks out of the summer (It keeps me off the streets! LOL). In seven years, I plan on retiring from teaching. After that, I'd love to work with older people (lots of wisdom to soak up there) or with animals (lots of unconditional love).I am quick witted, and I like to joke around A LOT. So, if you can't handle a little teasing, please save yourself the time and the aggravation of putting up with me. Also, if you state in your profile that you don't take life too seriously, please be sure you know what that means. I just have to say that I'm an independent woman, partly due to need and partly due to personality! I rely on myself for almost everything, and, when I can't do it myself, it ticks me off to no end! LOL!!!! I lack skills in major automotive needs, carpentry, and plumbing (I'm getting better with this skill, though. I recently replaced the refill valve and the flexible line to the refill valve on my toilet... on the first try... with no leaks! Not a cure for cancer or an end to world hunger, but it's still an accomplishment. LOL). All of those skills are needed on a daily basis here at the "money pit". It's not easy for me to ask for help (MAJOR UNDERSTATEMENT), but I'm working on it! Also, since I am an independent "kinda" girl, I promise I won't be your "mom". I figure if you're on this site, and are an adult, then you don't need me to be your mom. And, conversely, I figure that you know that I had a dad (one of the greatest men I ever had the pleasure of knowing, btw), so I don't need another one. In other words, I won't tell you what to do and how to do it, and I am sure that you will treat me with the same respect. I'm also not a Cling-On (not to be confused with a Klingon from Star Trek... although, I'm not one of those, either), nor do I wish to be a conjoined twin. I will let you wear your big boy pants and play with your friends without me there, and I would hope that you would allow me to do so with my friends. By no means does that mean that I am not invested in a relationship. In fact, quite the opposite is true. If you're an adult, then you deserve to be treated as such. If you mess that up, you will have to deal with the consequences. If you feel the need to cheat or to lie, then I know you'll understand my need to say, "Vaya con Dios!" TOUGH LOVE HURTS, but I'm a firm believer that, by the age of 40, you should be able to be honest with yourself and others in what you are looking for in life. I don't understand the thrill people get from cheating or lying. If you must cheat, try doing it while playing Poker or a board game like Monopoly. As for what I'm looking for... I base things on personality and compatibility more than on looks or bank account/material possessions. I do look for wit and humor to be a large part of a man's personality, as well as someone who treats others with respect, kindness, and compassion. I love a guy that smiles... a genuine smile. Good heavens, if I can smile all the time, despite the freakin' huge dimples it creates on my face, then I think a guy can muster up a genuine one, too! Family must be important to him (or, at least, being part of a family or the idea of being part of a family), as well. I am not looking for casual encounters, and I really prefer not to be called "Doll", "Honey", etc., the first time a man contacts me. It feels a little cheap to me. Sorry, it's just how I feel. I prefer non-smokers, please.Apparently, some men feel that this profile is too direct and/or too long. If that is the case, I wish you well on your continued journey in search of that perfect catch! P.S. A cat "adopted" me last year ***. Trust me, even though I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE animals, I wasn't looking to be a "mom" again; however, Kaleb the Cat has moved right in, as if he has always lived here. No one has claimed him (It's been over a year now.), so, I guess, I belong to him. So, if you don't like cats, move on, please. Kaleb doesn't act as if he's moving out anytime soon!****PRIVACY NOTICE**** :Warning--any person and/or *** this website or any of its associated websites, you do NOT have my permission to utilize any of my profile information nor any of the content contained herein including but not limited to my photos.

    I am a registered surgical nurse by trade, and an amateur writer by practice. I'm looking for someone to share life experiences with, someone that knows who they are, and what they want in life...because that is where I am. I have been alone for awhile, and I can be comfortable with that, but ultimately I would like to meet someone with similar goals towards a relationship. My baggage is light, my heart is pure, and my soul is searching for its mate. My ideal mate is someone that is confident and independent, strong and secure, yet warm, kind, loving and generous. I am happy baiting a hook, dressing up for a night out on the town, or staying home cooking dinner together and snuggling on the couch. If you feel that anything I have mentioned rings true to you, please send me a message. Thanks...and if my words do not connect with you, then...best wishes on your search. Meeting for coffee or a glass of wine, dinner or a movie, or just a walk on the beach. As long as the atmosphere is good for talk and laughter, I think it would be good. Hopefully a connection will be made...either friendship or a relationship. I am open for suggestions...

    Hey, I have decided that I wanted to take a break from this site . Not going to delete profile though .. Picnis , walks in the park , concerts ( all music but rap and heavy metal ) , spending time at home watching a movie or going to a movie. Just a few things . I guess I am a little shy until I get know you , honest and looking for a good man to share my life with.Not into going to bars and no drama . Looking for a friend first and see what happens. Ask me and I will tell you ! Thanks and good luck to all of you . We all deserve to have that special someone in our lives. Please post a current picture , correct age and if you are seperated or married please don't contact me . Hey . . . some women like to look in a mans eyes . . Good luck every one . A first date could be a walk in the park , dinner or coffee . Can figure that out later .
