How do I explain who I am in 500 words or less? Ok, let's see. I am a woman who loves to laugh-if you can make me laugh and keep me laughing, you probably will get a second date. I am definitely a 'people person' and can strike up a conversation with just about anyone. I believe in working hard and playing harder, so when I am at work I give it 110% but I have a strict rule against bringing work home because that's my 'me' time and I need that space to relax and enjoy my family and friends. I love to travel and try to get away once every two or three months to regroup and keep the stress down. What else...education, intelligence, God, family, setting goals and working to achieve them-those are the things that are most important to me. Anything else you wanna know, just ask :-)

Believe it or not, I've never had that perfect first date. Good for you cause that means you have no competition :-). I like romance, and LOVE Italian food, so the perfect date might include walking along the lakefront, dinner at Maggiano's (my fav spot for lasagna), drinks at a reggae club, and we'll see about what else. A handshake goodbye at my front door? jk, but maybe not depending on how everything goes...
