Independent, driven, quick on my feet and sometimes hopelessly charming. I can wear my heart on my sleeve and always try to put others first. I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in treating people with respect and dignity.
I am very well educated, with several degrees finished and am still working on another one.
I show and train pure-bred dogs for a living. I own and run my own business and this requires me to travel a lot, even brave enough to sleep in my truck some nights!!
For fun: hiking in the woods with my dogs, a good cup of tea, my artwork, music (almost all kinds), I love to drive: just hit the open road to de-stress. Shopping of course (and unfortunately I have a slight Coach and Jimmy Choo obsession)I have recently taken up running as well,I love Ren Fests and dressing in period garb. Destin, Florida seems to be my vacation hot spot, you've never seen beaches in the world like these!!
Fun and interesting facts:
~ I have had a VIP lap dance from an absolutely stunning female stripper, she and I had a great discussion while this went on and I shook the entire time.
~ I have a small obsession with odd ball tourist attractions (i.e. the largest McDonald's in the USA, Mystic Pizza, the cleanest rest stop in the USA, balance rock, things like this...)
~ I love to ride on the back of motorcycles, am scared to death to drive one myself, but someone once took the time and showed me the thrill of riding through the countryside.
~ I love cheetos, and how they make my fingers turn orange from the cheese. Peanut butter and Jelly is still one of my favorite meals. Mac & cheese highly under rated, but give me Asian Fusion, sushi, and great gourmet food anyday!
~ I fear no rollercoaster!
~ I love to sleep in a cold room, on warm sheets with wet hair... I know... really weird.
~ I do not believe in the double standard (men vs. women). Sometimes the old school theories are wrong and individuals need to stop accepting societal boundries and live a more free and open life, regardless of what other people may think. Women hate me for this and men fear me for this! (But I love to argue it)
~ I use to weigh about 400 lbs. --- no joke. If you've gotten this far, you are now scrolling back up to look at my photos again (you will never see a photo of me that large unless you meet me in person)
what are your odd obsessions, darkest secrets and most longing desires???

HOWEVER (Disclaimer)~~~ I am very no-nonsense, brutally honest, I am not a mind reader, I do not have all the answers, and if you are looking for a one night stand, or a mommy to take care of you (financially, as a maid, or anything having to do with that stupid bunny costume.....Don't waste my time......
Added Amendment: Simply staging a dissappearing act is juvenile, have the guts to speak up, blowing people off hurts more than being honest (and being honest with someone shows courage, this is an admirable trait, and with me it does not cause tears, it gives respect and it proves you aren't in need of psyciatric help)

Great food and good company! Unique experiences always a plus! I am looking for good friends and relationships to enjoy when I am home! Coffee is good, tea is better! For the right person I will make quality time, despite my crazy schedule.
The journey of life is not in where you go, but in meeting the individuals along the way that make it so.
