We could live within a couple blocks of each other, for years, and never quite cross paths. So, here we are, keyboard fishing.

I am gainfully employed, enjoy being outdoors more than in, go to the gym at least a few times per week, surf when I can, but I do have snooze button issues...and I get kinda cranky when I go too long without food.

My dog is by far the best looking dog in Costa Mesa, and I let her sleep under the comforter, but not under the sheet...I've got to draw the line somewhere. I told myself that I would teach her to sleep in a dog bed by the time she was six months old, but she's very, very persistent. Now she's pushing three.

I often day dream of tropical destinations; I've been to Costa Rica three times, and although I would go back in a heart beat, I'm ready to explore the surrounding countries and farther south. My first and only trip to Hawaii was back in '97; we went to Oahu, but the swell never got bigger than two feet the entire eight day trip. Needless to say, I'm itching to go back. Also need to go back to Europe...Spain is pretty high up on the list. I'm definitely open to suggestions.

My sister is one of my best friends, and we work together on the family business. We bring our dogs to the office every day, and most of the time, whether it's a workday or a weekend, I'm in shorts and flip-flops.

I'm very passionate about life and I expect a lot from myself. I analyze everything and everyone, and try to learn from it all.

If you are an intelligent, confident, outgoing and attractive woman, who still looks good when the make-up is gone, go right ahead and type to me. *However, knowing the difference between there, their and they're is a prerequisite.
