First one, being the most fun of a mom I can be to my 13yr old awesome&very tallented daughter, of whom is my heart. I love the beach, anything to do with it, can go a few hours, can go all day w/ the boards/cooler/etc.

I am a seafood monster,wings (garlic)and Italian food..I can make some killer stuffed shells, and challenge anyone at a shrimp eating contests ha ha . that's the only thing I'd ever eat a glob of.....otherwise I eat normal lol.Music I like a big range from old stuff like Jimmy Buffet,Dave Mathews Band,Sugarland, to John Mayor,classic rock,some country to BonJovi,Nine Inch Nails, to Sublime,Green Day, Aerosmith,U-2, hip hop, just really most stuff except the dirty rap, and I love Jazz.

As far as movies, I love the Notebook, City of Angels, Just Married,Godfather,Days of Thunder, the old movie called Money Pitt, Bambi, lol, and actors I love John TRavolta, of course, Steven Segiel, Nicholas Cage,Vall Kilmer, Denzil Washington,Tommy Lee,Jim Carey,Ashton Kutcher,Adam Sandler,Sandra Bullocke,love drama (movies only ,not in life) action/scarry stuff w/ big arms around to snuggle up in of course. I love Army Wives, CSI, Friends,Scrubs, Sienfeild,George Lopeze,SpongeBob(hey i've got a kid)my Forensics and History Channels and the news of course, got to know what's going on around us..

I love my word searches,shakey cheese on popcorn,pool(though I suck and would love to get better,)darts, reading my novels from Mauve Binche to Nicholas Sparks to Steven King books.

Love theme parks,going on a planned trip, or just getting into the car,driving,and stopping when we see something worth looking at.Love running on the beach usually 4-5 days a week 5 miles, to stay in shape. Would love to have a work out partner not to impress anyone, but to stay healthy with someone so that we may live life to the fullest and live long n healthy lives. I'd love to meet a man of whom made me feel as if he is man enough for us to feel safe with enough to go sky diving and scuba diving with.

I love to shop like most women, but can balance my checkbook, and always pay the bills early. I'm a Florida VPK teacher now, yet student still to enable myself to make the better bucks...I love most sports,have no problem w/ my guy going out w/ his guy friends as long as he's not out getting lap dances telling me he's at a race. I do drink socially, like a draft beer with wings, or a fruity margarita, but if it happens to be that my potential "soul mate" does not drink, then I've no problem with never drinking again if it's someone I love.

I love romantic,candlelight dinnners on a pier, but would love it the same for a guy to cook me dinner, even if he's not that great at it. With me, it's the thought that counts and the sweet gestures someone can come up with, not just basic flowers on a holiday because it's the normal thing everyone else does...not that I don't love flowers, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that the meaning from the little things to me, mean more than the bigger things that you could buy. I love holdng hands, and respecful public affection. I'd really love to finds someone who can see me in their future not just their bedroom, and be able to find a man I can trust and work hard together to make all our dreams come true, so that when we're old(and still cute) we could hold hands and know we did it together.

Many years ago, I believe I came close to finding true love,he was unfaithful, and I couldn't forgive him for it.Honor,respect and pride to me, and self respect are very important. And peace, very important, life's too short and precious to waste on being around someone who wants to argue all the time. I've yet to experience such a passion, and love for someone, would love to experience that rush of an emotion with someone again, of whom is deserving and respects and values my love for him.I try to appreciate the important things in life, and to show my loved ones that I care for them every day I awake, and try to live my life as if tomorrow may not show up. Before I close my eyes at night, I thank God for another day,and for my blessings He's given me.Even on a bad day, you should remember that someplace in the world someone else always had a worse day than you, like maybe they lost a leg, or a child...never loose sight of your blessing you do have in your life, and value them.

So I have learned to appreciate people I should, and to keep negative people away from my child and me. I really am a good, down to earth,devoted,independent,romantic,affectionate,loyal,faithful woman,looking to find the same in a guy to become my potential"best friend,passionate lover, partner in life."

Last but not least someone I can share God with, so that we can truly be blessed.

A first date should be comfortable,maybe a Starbucks,and then if you feel a connection anything else goes, whatever you agree on....just be honest, and real with each other, I'm finding out there's too many people pretending to be someone they are not...doesn't make sense to me, if you're not real with someone, they'll eventually find this out, and myself, I've no time to waste on nonsense, I want something real,valuable, special, with one man, my potential best friend, lifetime lover and partner in life.
