Hmmm, I guess I would describe myself as (in no particular order) very smart, extremely funny, loving and kind, cute and curvy, artistic/creative, honest, open-hearted and affectionate, down-to-earth and low maintenance, real and present, with good values and many long term healthy relationships.

I like to read, write, garden, hike, swim, snorkling, hang out with friends, take day trips and travel, watch movies, listen to music (live and outdoors is the best!) and putter in my house and gardens.

I enjoy animals and kids (but not kids that are animals); I'm friendly and generally get along with everyone. I'm usually up for almost anything and like exploring this beautiful world in many ways. But....I also relish down time, there's nothing like spending a lazy Sunday morning(and maybe afternoon)in bed with the newspaper spread out around us (NYT crossword puzzle rocks!) I enjoy cooking (cooking for one is no fun!), making glass beads (I play with fire - I love my torch!!), and rockhounding, deep conversation, campfires and quiet evenings with someone special.

I'm mostly a happy, laid back, easygoing person. Don't do drama. Educated(masters), I've always had good jobs and taken care of myself financially. I put effort into my appearance yet I am very low maintenance (don't wear make-up or obsess about fashion), however I'm also very feminine and girly (I love my pedicures!)I have a full, interesting life, except for one thing - a great partner/best friend/lover to share it with.

I would hope that anyone responding would be of a similar background and situation, very smart and very,very funny(sharp wit is great, but cynicism and sarcasm can be hysterical), with great family, friends, and career, stable and responsible (but with that bad boy edge us girls go ga-ga for), with lots of interests (some common interests would be great) and much to offer the right partner. Someone that knows how to be a man, strong yet sensitive (not macho), understands when to be aggressive and when to back off, kind, supportive, and loves fearlessly, with an open heart. I'm OK with the occasional beer or glass of wine, but NO tobacco users or heavy drinkers/drug users/partiers need respond!

Peace~

Don't really care as long as it's a situation where we can easily talk and get to know each other. Something outdoors is nice when it's not too hot.
