Hi, thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I'm very down to earth. I have been told that I'm a great listener; people tend to feel at ease around me and after talking to me only once have frequently said they feel as though they've known me a lifetime. My friends say that I have a magnetic personality and an infectious laugh. I love to laugh, it's good for the soul! I'm very passionate about my family, my pets and my friends. I'm true blue and loyal to those I love and care about. I'm looking for a relationship, not a f*** buddy! And I'm not on here for games or bs. Game recognize game, 'nuff said.

I love nature and animals (domestic and wild). I enjoy going to flea markets, antiqueing, taking long walks, gardening, playing catch, sitting on my yard swing, fishing, generally just being outdoors. I'm most comfortable in cutoffs and a t-shirt (hair up or down). Going out is fun (not into the whole bar scene) but I also like to stay in. We could bbq, rent a movie, snuggle on the couch (love to cuddle, with the right man), have a conversation or just enjoy each other's company.

My ideal man? Hmmm I love a man with a sense of humor, who is kind, considerate, romantic, affectionate, communicative, and open, but could surprise me with other great positive qualities. I like a man who is financially independent, loyal, loving, has common sense and intelligence. A man who can work hard and still take time to play hard. To see a grown man cuddling a puppy or a kitten simply melts my heart.

A few things I like? The smell of rain. The smell of fresh bread baking in the oven. The sound of a Harley. The smell of fresh cut grass. A man in uniform. I love all animals, but I have a soft spot for kittens and puppies.

Thanks again for taking the time to read a little bit about me and please feel free to e-mail me if I've piqued your interest. Have a great day/night, whichever the case may be.

p.s. If you add me to your favorites, don't be upset or offended if I don't add you to mine. I don't do the whole "favorites" list thing.
