UPDATE: RECENTLY CUT MY HAIR SHORT!!! SORRY, I NEEDED A CHANGE!!

I'm tall, blonde, and been told I'm attractive. I think I'm just average. Who cares anyway? I just like to have fun. I always wake up in a good mood, and try to end my day the same way. I make friends easily, and am pretty much at home anywhere. I'm an affectionate person, who prefers to spend her time with the guy she cares about, whether it's a night out or just curling up on the couch together. I love horse back riding, motorcycles, laughing really hard, preparing my latest culinary creation (I'm actually pretty good), the beach, old movies, all types of music, and dancing. I also love to travel, and wish I could do it more often. I'm very artistic and creative. I love designing, architecture, rehabbing old things, painting, jewelry making...the list goes on & on. If I could have, I probably would have been an architect, but my older brother & sister used up the college funds. LOL

I'm attracted to a guy who can carry on a conversation in any situation, whether it's about politics, sports or the latest trends. I enjoy intelligent banter and differing viewpoints. Money & status aren't important to me at all, but a great sense of humor definitely is. I've been told I'm pretty funny. I honestly believe that laughter is the spice of life. If you can't laugh at life or yourself, well then, you aren't living! I'm very upfront, open & honest. I have little patience for games, or people who just want to create drama in my life. Honesty, confidence, and a good sense of self are turn-ons for me.

I love kids, but prefer dating someone whose kids are at least in their teens, or off on their own. No offense to anyone.

I like to go out, but staying home with my guy and cooking a great dinner together can be just as much fun. I love to entertain friends, and do it often. I can't help it - they like my cooking, poor things!

Working on my house is a major hobby, whether it's a carpentry project, or interior decorating. It keeps my creativity flowing, and I love my power tools! I'm on a first name basis with the local ER. Just kidding!

My favorite foods must be veggies & chicken or Ahi tuna, since I eat them so often, but I can whip up a mean Thanksgiving dinner too (my lasagna is legendary I'm told). My favorite color...hmm...too many. My favorite thing to do when it's raining is PJ's & a good movie. Favorite shopping? Any kind of shopping! I AM a girl! (and no, I don't want your credit card, thanks).

My ideal date would be a romantic picnic on the beach at sunset, but if it's cold out, a picnic on the living room floor by candle light is just as good.

By the way, the red outfit in the pictures is a Pirate Costume from Halloween. No, I am NOT the St. Pauli Beer Girl. LOL
