I started out writing how I love to travel, eat out and exercise (which are all true) but in the spirit of total honesty, here goes. I lost my husband to cancer two years ago. We shared a great love and led a charmed life. I have a wonderful son and incredible friends. It’s time, definitely time, for me to get out there!

I am a smart, fun, easygoing girl. I do love to travel, go out for a great meal (with wine, of course) and run. I am as happy in my running gear as in a****ail dress, and have as much fun playing darts in a local bar as going out to a four-star restaurant. I have been known to hog the mike at karaoke bars and dance on tables (don’t worry, this is not a regular occurrence). My guy friends voted me the “coolest wife” once because I like to watch sports, dish out sarcasm and drop the f-bomb with the best of them.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the finer things and take pride in myself, both physically and mentally. I like to meet new people, and do very well in social situations. My friends would say I am loyal, compassionate and warm-hearted. To that I would add self-reliant, genuine and a straight-shooter – what you see is what you get.

My ideal man is strong, independent and makes me laugh, often. I am a sucker for a great smile and quick wit, and I love a bit of sarcasm. He is respectful, fun and easy on my eyes. I am looking for companionship and fun to start.
