About Me

It is always fun to meet the occassional new person, broaden one's horizons, act outside the box etc. Reviewing summer, I went to many ole favaourite lakes, Durance and Cameron, several times, and I made it to one new, to me, lake - Spectacle Lake. I went camping five times between May and August, and aim to camp more next summer. Cycling is something I really enjoy, and is so much more fun to do with at least one other person, and I got to cycle with my kid a fair bit this past spring and summer. I have a very nice Italian custom-made road bike I brought back from Italy. I also spent three years in Japan. I like planning, and am pretty organized, and my two career paths (education and mental health and addictions) are slowly coming to harmonize in a very meaningful way for me. Apparently compatible with Libra, Aquarius, Gemini, Capricorn, late Cancer and late Virgo if you are interested in the Astrology take. Monkeys like me are known to play well with rats and dragons too. I am the oldest child and am most compatible with the youngest or the only child. Since doing triathlons in Japan, and biking long in Italy, I now work on being satisfied with the lesser amount of exercise freedom I have since my awesome kid was born in ***single mom by choice). When my kid is in his Karate class, I am watching from a stationary bike or a yoga mat. When my kid is in his swimming lessons, I savour vigorous laps for the precious 30 minutes. When my kid is in his tennis lesson, I yoga. I teach yoga, as a sub, whenever I can too. I have my kid full-time, and am just starting to see glimpses of the potential to get more exercise - perhaps I will be doing triathlons with my son one day. So my favourite thing to do with a new person would be to exercise together, even if just at conversation pace. I have also started mindful meditation practice, with a group, this winter too. What makes me unique....I don't have tattoos and I don't want any. I don't drink coffee regularity, but if I do drink coffee, it has to be a decaf. Having a very keen sense of smell, coffee and garlic breath bother me. I have a bit of a Tomboy personality, but I do not swear, use derogatory humour, or assumptions, aimed at anybody. I succeed at some minor house hold improvements, such as putting up my own curtain rods or waterproofing my own pic-nic table. I would like to make my own shoe rack/tower one day. I do like being womanly, and take some pride in my appearance without feeling I need make-up- hey at least it is not going to get any worse. I am not the "princess" type, yet do not mind a door being opened for me or a tea being bought for me. I am usually pretty open-minded. I am told I have a great sense of humour and I really like it when I can make people laugh and smile. I aim to improve myself in various ways. Be the improvement in my diet (already no pork, beef, heavy carbs, white death (white sugar) or regular dairy consumption), parenting, social interactions, furniture arrangement, manners, personal hygiene or facial tics; I am always looking to improve myself ;) I like cooking. I am frequently told by my kid and my friends that I am a good cook. I like making Japanese food sometimes, like miso soup. I also make my own homemade granola bars with coconut oil *** butter, and homemade museli with my own roasted pecans. Now that it is colder, I make soup from my own stock. I am detail-oriented, and I value communication. I'm an occasional Walmart and Costco shopper (so why don't you shoot me baby!), yet am highly considering going vegan. Very occasional drinker. I don't like to socialize at bars. I aim for balance in diet, lifestyle, and on the yoga mat ;)I value friendship. I am not against getting into a sexual relationship, but it is definitely not the be all, end all for me - yet by no means am I asexual (interesting documentary titled by the very word, by the way). Most of my relationships start with friendship, and end with sometimes an even better friendship. My intention here is to make another friend, possibly more over time. I am not into internet chatting. Just *** enough, and what I aim for is less time in front of sceens. I do like to talk on the phone though, see if we get along voice to voice before stepping it up to face to face. ***, word processing and work related computer time is more than enough screen time. Yoga music is nice, like Shastro and Down City Dwellers. I used to think the best music is that that you can dance to, but over the years I have come to appreciate the mellower melodies as well. I pretty much enjoy most kinds of music except for rap and some country. Most of my listening when I need to drive (I prefer to cycle when distance and weather permit) is to CBC radio. My kid loves the Zucchero CD I brought back from Italy. I stay away from big concerts with big crowds that are really loud. I've volunteered at Bluegrass Music festivals a lot, and enjoy the Bluegrass Festival atmosphere. I will not respond to those with no pictures, near naked pictures, all distant pictures, or pictures with big sunglasses on.Meeting somebody is not a date to me - much too strong of a word. I would call it "meeting," and we can figure it out together...It is nice to check out each others voices over the phone before meeting. Guaranteed if we don't like each others voices, we will not like each other in person either.

    Hi!A little about me - I am basically your everyday kind of person. I guess you could say I'm half way through a mid life crisis haha. I've recently decided a career change was in order and time to do something that makes me happy. I'm currently doing full time study and would ideally like to getting into the field of working with animals. I am looking for someone with a compassionate heart and who has the ability to take life with a smile on their face. I enjoy the simple things in life, currently re-designing my yard and doing a lot of replanting. Looks quite bare at the moment but in my mind I can see how it will look in years to come. See - the simple things.I have 2 older teenagers and a few dogs and a cat. I love animals what can I say haha*****I thought I should add in too (after a couple of somewhat questionable messages) that if you want to just message smut - save yourself the effort and click 'back' ***, keep scrolling through the list. I'm not going to go there with strangers and really don't find it cute, funny, or least of all provocative. Call me a prude - but that's just me****

    I have a bubbly, outgoing personality, almost always happy. Life is too short not to be, and I try to get all the good that I can out of every single day. No one promised us tomorrow.I own a gift shop and have been in business for 19 years. I work a lot of hours, but I love it. I spend every day making people happy. What a way to make a living!Somewhere along the way I turned into a "Homebody" I am never happier than when I am when I am in my kitchen cooking. My son is a chef, and I have really learned a lot from him. Little wine for the dish...little wine for me......Music playing...Stevie Ray Vaughn, Diana Krall, Shawn Mullins, good blues. Cooking and dancing. Nothing better. Maybe one thing. Being in my sanctuary I created. Coffee sitting in my swing in the morning. Wonderful way to start the day. End the day sometimes out there with a glass of wine. I do like to go out sometimes. Listen to a little live music and dance. I LOVE to dance.I started going to the gym about a year and a half ago. I try to go as much as time allows. Trying to do all I can to stay healthy. So far so good.WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR? First and fore most I would like to find a friend. That is the foundation from which everything else gains its strength. If someone comes along that rocks my world...THAT would be wonderful. Life is better if you have someone to share it with, but I don't need someone ***. I have been own my own for a long time now, and I can take care of ME. I do believe in commitment though. Guess I am from the OLD school on that idea. I have always been a One man woman. Wondering if I will ever find the one I want to be committed to again? I think he is out there. Till I find him. I am just going to enjoy dating. I am not interested in a long distance relationship. I don't consider an hour away as a long distance though. I was in a relationship with someone for 5 years that lived an hour away. I know I still would be if he had not passed away. I'm hoping to find someone again that thinks thatI am the most wonderful thing in the world, and I feel the same way about. It's like looking for a neddle in a haystack, but I'm going to keep looking. I'm not going to settle for anything less.First date???? Just meet for coffee or a drink. A picture or words can't tell you if there is any CHEMISTRY. Don't we wish it worked that way? You have to meet face to face to see if it's there.
