A little about me....

I'm a small town girl who lives in the neighboring town of the one I was raised in and Love It! I own the liquor store in my home town and I'm also a Real Estate Agent. I have 3 kids and a live in nanny from the Phillipines who is my life saver! One of my fave things to do is come home pour Lily (my nanny) and I a glass of wine or make a great caesar for us and cook a really amazing dinner! My kids love my cooking and I have to be honest - one of the best things I can do for myself is unwind in the kitchen! Wierd hey>?! lol

I love my life in so many ways - and I count my blessings that I am at a place in my life, as young as I am, to have a second chance at happiness in a relationship. I'm sure you must feel the same if you are here and reading this also. I mean - how many don't get this right...? I'm thankful we have a great little 9 hole golf course here in town, a fun bunch to play baseball with, a Minor hockey association that rocks, for my 3 kids that think I'm awesome and give me the strength to get up and do it all over again EVERYDAY, and for my wacky family who loves and supports me so much.... If you love camping, drinks around the fire, great food, LAUGHING! Hockey playoffs, crime shows, playing pool, cuddling on the couch, snowmobiling, fishing, movie theatre popcorn, a woman who is independant but needs a strong man who knows who he is and wants the respect he is deserved.... then we just might hit it off!

I believe strongly in the value of hard work and think the ability to laugh at ourselves is paramount.... The kind of man that will steal my heart will be one that is a hard worker... he can make me laugh so hard I cry, he's good to my friends and respectful of my dad, one who can tip a few and have a good time with the best of 'em but is a leader in many ways... he's got a great smile and thinks that fitness isn't something you have to do on a crosstrainer but would rather get out on the golf course or skate up and play a game or two with the boys - even if the only ice time available is at 10 pm on Friday night!.... and one who wants nothing more than to come home to me, a yummy supper, a cold beer and a night of cuddling on the couch - without feeling the need to talk to death - don't get me wrong - I think communication is really really important and I want to be able to share anything and everything with the man in my life - but to just chill out and enjoy eachother even in the silent moments is really important to me too... I'm a passionate woman... I look after myself and don't take myself too seriously.... I know where I've been and where I'm going - I don't like rehashing the past all the time, I do believe it's got it's place and want a man that has learned from it as much as I have - and one who can let that be just what it is - and who can move on and make some new and amazing memories with me. I love my accomplishments and want a man that does too... it means a lot to me that the man I'm with has valued friendships and his own thing goin' on... I do and I think it's a healthy way to live.

When I leave the house every morning I have a great deal of responsibility with my businesses - and I have to be the Strong Woman I take a lot of pride in being - but really want to come home to the man - "My MAN" (one day..... :) )that is stronger than me.... When I have met my match and more - that's YOU!~

I don't want a muscle man or gym buff - that's not for me - but I take good care of myself and want a man that does the same - I think it's really important to look after your appearance - it shows me you care enough about me to go that extra mile - and I do the same for you - I love a tall, thick, heavy and strong man that is well adjusted - and very definetely done with his past love interest.... I am not big into typing my way into a relationship - but if you are interested in going out for a drink and doing some major laughing - and just wanna have some fun and make some silly memories with me...... definetely get in touch with me!

I don't know about first date ideas - good subject to talk about - on the ever so popular first phone call... :)
