Milwaukee, WI homeowner. 2 dogs, cat. Enjoying life after a two-year condensed school program. Learning to make candy for Christmas. Behind on two projects for gifts. Was willing to try winter camping in December 09 with some die-hards but they cancelled saying single digits was too cold. I'll take their word for it! :-)

When not studying I enjoy activities with my niece and nephews. I like to come up with craftsy endeavors to share with them. One well-trained dog (Tucker) and the other stays on a leash (Max). Max was an adult breeding dog from a puppy mill. He's also more high maintenance than I'd anticipated but I love him. And let's not forget Good Girl, the displaced cat.

Listen to country music or older Top-40 most days and occasionally conservative talk radio. Enjoy making things via home arts like knitting...also gardening, camping, movies, fall football, walking and beginning running. Lately been searching for walking and running playlists. Thought I had a lot of songs but the ones with the appropriate beat can still get old. Enjoying timing my Sundays usually around Packer games. Also like to collect articles to read from magazines dumped at the office...so far...GoodHousekeeping, Better Homes & Gardens, Forbes, Money, The Economist, Readers Digest.

I like to think I'm good at keeping an open mind and considering other points of view while at the same time retaining my own values. Over the years people have commented positively about my ingenuity, creativity, friendliness and willingness to help.

A few things I'm looking for: good manners, sharing conversation, kindness, honesty and that illusive chemistry. Dating to LTR. I like to think I am generous with my time and attention. Looking for the same. Impressed by frequent smiles and a caring nature.

ciao
