I'm a screwy redhead who has spent most of her adult life cutting hair. I don't drink or smoke, but if you hurt me I'll gouge out your eyes with my scissors. :)
I have a rescued male Basset Hound named Roscoe who loves anyone willing to bring him a treat and play with him.
I was married to (and had 2 children with) an alcoholic, so I have no interest in anyone with a drinking problem. Social drinking is okay; however, don't expect me to know expensive wine from last week's Kool Aid.
Although I like to karaoke, I don't kid myself about being the next American Idol. I grew up in the south, so I have enough of a 'twang' to sing Reba and enough practice to pull off a fairly decent Cher, Anne Murray or Mary Chapin Carpenter. I listen to Classic Rock, Oldies and sometimes even country. I also have a dozen cassette tapes of Classical music that I listen to in my car.
Some people might find me too flamboyant, but I believe humor and absurdity are good medicine and I don't plan to change that part of my personality.
I can sit on the couch and watch CSI, The Closer or Law & Order on TV for hours or get dressed up and go out on the town. Either way, I have a good time. My favorite movie is The Godfather. I own half-a-dozen trivia books about all 3 movies and have worn out 2 videotapes of Part I. My favorite musical is Fiddler on the Roof. The Sting and Butch Cassidy are my kind of comedies. Gotta love Newman and Redford! I also enjoy baseball movies.
I can be traditional or outrageous, depending on the situation and the company. I haven't traveled much, but I'm interested in listening to someone who has. I'm curious and eager to learn. I've been known to waste an entire day in a book store or library.
My idea of camping is poolside at the Ramada. I like indoor plumbing too much to appreciate sleeping on the cold, hard ground and searching for a makeshift latrine.
Although my father was a coach, I've never been able to understand football. That gene skipped this daughter, much to my family's dismay. I'll root for the Browns or the Mountaineers, but I won't be able to tell you who's carrying the ball.

What I Am Looking For

Any man in my life must be smarter than I am and have a good sense of humor. You'll hate me if you don't like to joke around. I don't like crude, vulgar language or smooth-talking playboys. I'm looking for a gentleman, not a drama coach or someone who will try to 'fix' me.
