Hmmm... thinking I need to update this synopsis of me. Well first of all I am excited about starting a new life with someone. I have been married a long time but don't mistake this as a rebound search. The happy marriage was over long ago. In just 3 short months I will be divorced (can't wait!). And Yes, I am looking for someone who wants a serious relationship. If you just want someone to call at your whim or date among your other ladies - I'm not for you. While I do carry a lot of baggage when I travel, you won't find much past relationship baggage. I have worked hard to get past all that.

I am passionate about so many things in life. A recent event has made me re-evaluate what to stress over and what to shrug my shoulders about and blow off. I know its cliche, but life IS too short for being so uptight all the time. I am compassionate (maybe to a fault - is that really such a bad quality?). I love to laugh and would love to find someone with a good sense of humor. I'm learning to be more spontaneous - can you help me?

I want to find someone who WANTS to spend time with me. I know we are all busy in life but what is the sense of being in a relationship if we are not each other's priority. I will want to share my family with you - they're great (ok, so I'll admit they can be a bit much at times, but they are sincere). I'd like to get to know your family too.

I am a curvy woman (hopefully you think the curves are in all the right places =). And yes, those curves are somewhat due to my carrying a few extra pounds. I am proud and happy with who I am and will not apologize for it. I try to eat healthily but have weak willpower and some genetics play into it.

To those who wish to contact me: PLEASE have a picture - yes I like to be attracted physically to my date. Also - VERY IMPORTANT - you should live within 25 miles of Clayton, NC. Well hopefully that will be enough of a description for a start. If you are curious or interested please email me. And please, do not be offended if I do not return your interest. We need to be adults and act accordingly. I will, however try to be courteous and respond to your email.

Thanks for reading my profile. Looking forward to hearing from you.
