Welcome to my profile. I love living in beautiful Oregon where it rains a lot but it is very pretty and usually NOT bitter cold and we don't get tons of snow either. I am a snowboarder so I do like to go to the nearby mountains with my friends on the weekends.

My interests are:
Reading,
Writing,
Biking,
Hiking,
Walking,
Running,
Snowboarding,
Starbucks Espresso,
SHOPPING,
Baking & Cooking,
History,
....And LOTS more....

I am usually up early in the morning to do a run or bike ride for maybe an hour, if the weather is bad I go to the Y so I can be indoors on the bike machines or treadmills, but I would rather be outside.

My job is 4 days a week, 10 hour days, Mon - Thurs, so I always have 3 day weekends.
Fridays end up being my SHOPPING day or if I can I go to the mountains to snowboard, certainly less crowded than the weekends. :)

I love all kinds of food, particuarly the kind that is not good for me!!! LOL The Olive Garden is my favorite restaurant and Italian food is one of my favorite foods for sure.

I am a history buff so I am always watching the History Channel. Other television interests are NCIS, CSI Miami, CSI Las Vegas, Law and Order, Grey's Anatomy, House and Stargate Universe are some of my favorite shows to watch.
I am also a news hound so I am always watching the television and cable tv news.

When you do write, and I hope that you do, please write something more than a one sentence message... give me "something" to reply to.

I am looking for FRIENDS and friendly gals and guys to talk with and to swap messages with.

I really do like getting messages from nice guys, but PLEASE keep your shirt on!
