Bolivia is a crazy nickname - I've been given many. I am not from Bolivia....but people like to turn my name into Oliver, Olive, etc...I can laugh at myself and often do. I try to always see the positive in things. Love my "rose colored"glasses and I intend on keeping them. I do think we will all find the person we are hoping for one day - you just can't give up. It seems odd trying to meet on a computer but it's also odd that children can watch cartoons 24/7.....some things should be for Saturday mornings only. :)like it used to be. Progress is good but I think some things are taken for granted.

My background - I was raised an Army brat. My dad was Special Forces - Green Beret and he is the NICEST man you will ever meet. I am the youngest and grew up with two great brothers.

My career has always been in banking but recently I decided to complete my culinary degree and I am loving the opportunities. It has allowed me to work with some NFL Chefs during SuperBowl, making pasta with an Italian chef, etc. Life is good. So is homemade pasta!!! Like anything in life - moderation is key.

My best days are spent (other than with my girls...) outdoors doing anything - boating/hiking/riding bikes/reading under a tree at the beach/swimming at the beach/having a picnic somewhere/art festivals/live theatre/music festivals.... but NOT at a mall..I have all I need or want.....except a good man in my life....do they have those at the mall??? Hmmmm....maybe I should be at the mall in the sporting goods section.??...no....I'd rather be at the beach or on a boat....

My dislikes: negativity/dishonesty ....after all....it robs you of your joy.

I am an easy going lady - true to myself and to others - hoping to find the same.

My music interest varies.... I like it all...almost...from Red Hot Chili Peppers, oldies, rock, blues, jazz, new bands like Kings of Leon, as well as Latin & Cuban music such as Buena Vista Social Club. I also listen to new musical talents on NPR. Music is a great part of life.

Good luck to everyone who is taking this chance online.....
The saying is: nothing ventured, nothing gained.............

I would want to go somewhere quiet so that we can enjoy our conversation. That doesn't mean I don't want to go dancing or to a concert later on......but it's important to know if we have the same goals and values if we are looking for a partner to enjoy life with....
