My name is Cherie. Just like the song - lovely as a summer's day, distant as the milky way...

I love and appreciate anything that has to do with music - most genres.

I exercise 4 days a week, take 2 classes (cardio-kickboxing and Zumba) and keep myself in great shape. Having stated that, I am looking for a man who also takes care of himself, so if you have a "few extra pounds" as they say, you're not for me. I truly enjoy being active and travelling (especially to warm, exotic places).

I have a passion for food but I hate to cook. Wanna cook for me? ;b

I am a wonderful conversationalist and have a goofy sense of humor. I am loyal and dependable and I'm looking for the same in a fun-loving, HONEST, and genuine guy.

I have to make it very clear tho, that I do NOT want kids, nor do I want to date anyone with children. If your children are over 18 (or close to it) that's fine. My cats are my children. I've had them both for 10 years. We are a package deal, so if you are allergic or don't like cats, then I'm not the one for you.

I'm very close with my family and spend a good bit of time with them. Same with my friends, who are basically my extended family, since I'm an only child. So if you don't pass the friend test, you're pretty much out. They know me better than I know myself sometimes. ;)

I am a bit of a thrill seeker. I love rollercoasters and anything fast. Ask me about my car...

I've been told by many friends that I am the "total package". Are you curious? Well, then... drop me a line!

Conversation is very important, so it doesn't really matter where we go, as long as the venue allows us to talk and get to know each other.

Note added 12/09: I'm not shallow, but if your pics aren't recent, or you've cut your hair, etc, it would be nice to know BEFORE we meet. I can't tell you how many times I've met people from here who look NOTHING like their posted pics. It's extremely disconcerting and frustrating... TY
