For me, 99% of the joy in life comes from the small things, like getting something in the mail, (love it!). Also making someone I love happy or seeing someone succeed at something they never thought they could! Life is full of these small wonders. I’m grateful, upbeat, loving and considerate. I’m a good friend and I am loyal. I'm a free spirit and am always looking for an opportunity to make a memory.

The things that I love to do are merely the things that can completely take over my awareness and take me outside of myself. For me, this includes art, (painting mostly), reading, collecting the world’s cutest shoes, working out, (this is a fluctuating fixture in my life), learning new things, meeting new people and most importantly time with my family, friends and my daughter who is the coolest kid ever.

My perfect match probably should have a similar sense of humor or a great appreciation for mine. Much of my humor is based on sarcasm and irony. Intelligence is a must (and also incredibly sexy).

I'm in a constant search for balance in all aspects of my life and learning moderation, slowly but surely.

I'm kind of a goof, and I love being around people that bring out that side of me. I think practical jokes are HILARIOUS… but just not on me.

I get anxious sometimes that I'm not living life to the fullest. Then I remember that being anxious isn't exactly helping me live life to the fullest, so I get over it.

My style is a little funky, but I’m conservative. I’m an artist, but I love God. I love the finer things in life, but drive a late model Subaru, that I LOVE. I’m confident, yet insecure. I’m human and all of my little imperfections make the beautiful disaster that is me. I'm a work in progress.

**NEWSFLASH**
I figured out what I want...
I am seeking an accomplice at life, a partner in crime. Someone I can have a gazillion inside jokes with, who thinks its cute that I snore if I've been drinking, and that I'm not a very good cook, but I try. Who believes in my positive intentions and is patient with me when I do something annoying.

I believe that happily ever after comes from within, but also that life is always better shared.

** If we are a match, you will live in a reasonable proximity of me, will have good oral hygiene, (perfect teeth are not required), Be nice to the elderly and service people, (this includes when driving and not in ear shot), NOT be old enough to be my father and not be more than 2 years younger than me. Must think I'm right like 99.97% of the time although I am really full of shit, (yep I said it, and sometimes I drop the f bomb, but have awesome 'Grandma' filters when needed).. :-)

Too much to ask? I think not.

Luckily... this is not my job ;-)
