I am: patient, understanding, loyal,(so I'm a chocolate lab, everyone loves a good dog

), openminded, stubborn, a PARENT!, sarcastic at times, a dreamer, a doer.
I am not: mean, vindictive, hurtful, a drunk. life's too short and precious to be any of those things
I have a big heart, a brain, a sense of humour,many different interests

sometimes I'm all business, sometimes life gets crazy, I try not to plan too much
I'm not a tree hugger, but I do appreciate nature and all it has to offer. love music, sunrises( every new day begins with one

) sunsets ( every good day ends with one

) friends - gotta have them. conversation - have to be able to carry an intelligent one. fun, everyone needs fun

love saunas,I need to build one

, not looking for a straight up girly-girl, just someone who likes to have fun and isn't afraid to be themselves or try something new

just be real

a picnic, maybe a fair or carnival; something fun, yet with the possibility to get to know someone...dinner & a movie is way too cliche'- by the way, how do you get to know someone sitting in the dark with a hundred other people? Besides, that's the easy way out....
