ok ~ about me ~ i hate this "friends say" part but here goes ~ i'm funny ~ nutty ~ silly ~ quirky ~ a little sarcastic (in a playful way) ~ warm ~ caring ~ genuine, sentimental ~ trusting ~ and i tan well! enough about what "they say" ~ it's time for a reality check! i'm a little absent minded (well a lot) ~ which friends find hysterical ~ have a hard time with easy decisions (where to eat ~ do i want to turn left or right ~ & i'm confident you'll find a few more :)!

whether it's meeting for lunch, dinner, coffee, or whatever ~ there all good ~ it's just a great time to kick back and catch up on each others lives.

honesty's important, i want to know the real you and not the you you think i want you to be (that was wordy)! on paper we all want the same thing ~ but until you meet face to face ~ you won't know if the chemistry's there.

my kids are away at school ~ local but away ~ and most my friends married ~ so now it's my turn! movies, live music, comedy clubs, the beach, the river, lunch, anywhere the sun is shining ~ or just sharing time together at home ~ it's all works. a friendship would be great ~ and if there just happens to be chemistry ~ let's run with it! i thought that chemistry had to be immediate ~ but have learned that what starts as a friendship can develop into romance ~ the more you get to know and like someone they better they may look! for me nothing feels as good as the sound of laughter and the sight of a smile :).

it's tough coming up with pictures of myself. the one on the tram is at d'land is from march ~ the other ~ my profile ine ~ is on here cause of "peer pressure"! was trying on clothes ~ hair a mess ~ makeup too ~love the look ~ and very exotic setting!!!

i'm casual and don't think i'm high maintenance or low maintenance ~ i'm me maintenance :)! i like nice things ~ but would prefer a happy ~ healthy ~ fun ~ and caring relationship over someone's bank account :)!

past relationships ~ and what i've learned ~~ this time around i'm going to follow my instincts ~ God gave us a "sixth sense" for a reason & this time i'm listening ~ i will be me from day 1 till year 99 :) ~ if you can embrace my funny ~ quirky ~ sentimental ~ absentminded and way too trusting self as i do ~ you will be happy ~ loved, & cherished for evah & evah & a day ~ the end ~ for now :)

wait ~ one other thing ~ for those of you who think all women lie on their profiles ~ i'm NOT 5'2" ~ i'm 5'2-1/2" ~ it seems this site is not aware of just how important that 1/2 in might be :)!

take good care ~ and i hope you find your happy ~ kathy :)

well i don't really "classify" meeting someone for the first time as a date ~ so wherever we decide to meet up is just fine with me! there's no expectations or pressure ~ just a great opportunity to meet someone new! if we are both smiling when we leave ~ i'm sure we will have no problem coming up with 22 ideas for our "first date" :)!

btw ~ am i the only one on here that thinks "do you have a car" is kind of bizaare??? :)
