I am looking for a man, who wants for me to get to know him and who wants to get to know me in return. We have fun and laugh together while enjoying our common interests, but having some different interests is ok too. I'd like to grow together--share days filled with love, passion, honesty and a sense of humor. Whether we're doing yard work together or playing, we enjoy each other's company.

My kids are 17 and 15 (Sr and Soph)and are with me 60% of the time. We love to joke around. They mean the world to me and we have a great relationship! It is just fine if you have kids at home as well, as I love kids. I just don't want to actually "make" any more.

I look at life with a glass is half-full attitude. My friends say I have a big heart and a sparkle in my eye. It is up to you to find out where that sparkle leads or what puts it there.... I enjoy a nice dinner out on the town, but am just as happy staying home and cuddling on the couch while watching a movie. I take pride in my job/career, but what defines me is being a good mom, a caring friend, and giving time to causes I care about. I don't believe in playing games, as I'd rather be real and let a man discover who I am, while I discover who he is.

The Bay Area is a great place to take day or weekend trips to explore local places and I'm ready to go. There are so many beautiful places to see in the U.S. and in the world too, and I hope to see many more, preferably, with one special man. I am partial to Italy and Hawaii, though.

I agree with the saying that Success is to laugh often and much, win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to appreciate beauty, to leave the world a little better place than we found it.

A cup of coffee or a glass of wine would be nice. Someplace where I can see your eyes and your smile.
