Hope that answered your questions!

If you see I've read your email.. please know that I read them from my phone, however I can't always reply until I get home to a pc...

I realize it's time to stop hoping and waiting for something to change... or for happiness, safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon. I have come to terms with the fact that you are NOT Prince Charming and I damn sure am NOT Cinderella and that in the real world there aren't always fairy tale endings (or beginnings for that matter) and that any guarantee of "happily ever after" must begin with ME...I am not perfect and not everyone will always love, appreciate or approve of who or what I am... and that's OK. You are entitled to your own views and opinions..I have stopped complaining and blaming other people for the things they did to me or didn't do for me. The only thing I can really count on is the unexpected.

I've learned that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say. I realize that much of the way I view myself, and the world around me, is as a result of all the messages and opinions that have been ingrained into my psyche. And I begin to sift through all the junk I've been fed about how I should behave, how I should look, how much I should weigh, what I should wear, what I should do for a living, how much money I should make, what I should drive, how and where I should live, who I should marry, the importance of having and raising children, and what you owe your parents, family, and friends, is just WAY to freaking unbelievable! It takes ME away from "me". No more!

I am learning to open new worlds and different points of view. I am starting to redefine who i am and what i stand for.......I am learning about love. Romantic love....how to love, how much to give, when to stop and when to walk away. I will NOT be more beautiful, more intelligent, more lovable or important because of the man on my arm. I am learning to look at relationships as they really are and not as i would have them be. I am learning that just as people grow and change, so it is with love. And I am learning that I don't have the right to demand love on my terms, just to make me happy. Alone does NOT mean lonely! I have the right to want the things I want and it is sometimes necessary to make demands, but i have come to the realization that I deserve to be treated with love, kindness, sensitivity and respect and I will NOT settle for less....I will only allow the hands of a lover who cherishes me to glorify me with his touch, that is just self-respect! Life isn't always fair. We don't always get what we THINK we deserve and that sometimes bad things happen to unsuspecting good people. I am learning to admit when i am wrong and to build bridges instead of walls.

I am the shape of plenty, the size of passion, the power of numbers, the future of fashion. A beautifully audacious curvaceous form. I am the average woman. I am the norm. I will not let the number on a scale decide my self worth. I choose to be a strong, intelligent Woman who is seen more for who she is on the inside, because Beauty is not what you see.. It's what you possess within.

Ok this is NOT a first date... I ran out of room! LOL

The ONE would encompass all that it means to be a man. I want to be swept off my feet at dinner, Laugh to the point of tears after, and wake to the warmth of his arms around me in the morning. I want to hand him a beer during the football game, dance the night away in his arms on Saturday night, Make his favorite eggs on Sunday morning, watch him grilling in the backyard on holidays. I want to share his tent on cozy camp outs stare across the table at him during Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, know there is no one else in his heart or mind but me. Feel secure on annual hunting and fishing trips, feel his absence in our bed and long for his return. I want his respect, protection, loyalty, and guidance for my children as well as myself. I want to listen to him in distant conversations across the room and be proud that he has a mind and chooses to use it wisely. I long to find a man that can be patient, relaxed, easy-going, down to earth, and yet still maintain a measure of responsibility And ambition as well as strength of character. I'd hope for him to need to see a light in my eyes when I am happy, Be creative, self sufficient, and hold true to his beliefs. He must be able to look through me and see my soul, and I him. A bond that strengthens with time, never forsakes the other, Always encouraging, and understands when life throws someone a curve.

I enjoy the simple life, the fine things that life brings, not the finer things in life. I love to sing which is what I do most, love being a mom & a great friend. I thrive on being the best person I can be, seems anymore people are out to hurt one another, just wish everyone would invest the love & time to each other instead of the pain and suffering...I'm usually the life of the party no matter where I go, I love life, I love to laugh & I love having fun but I also love the nights at home..No one is a stranger to me...life's to short to be unhappy, so lets make each other happy and the way I look at it.. the least you could get from me, would be a very good friend... So.. in saying all that.. IF you can't be my friend because I'm NOT a tiny Barbie bimbo.Then do us BOTH a favor, and click on and go elsewhere!
