I like hanging out, music, dancing, movies with popcorn, I prefer casual, but I can dress up nice when the occasion calls. I like having fun, laughing, relaxing. I have a very playful heart - never took the "grownup pill". I can be very spontaneous, a bit silly at times, but I also know when to be serious. I'll try anything once, twice if I like it. When I had my daughter (who is now 11) my friends told me that I finally have someone my own age to play with. My daughter is my life and love, she's #1 - but I do have time for someone special.

I work hard and my "fun" time should not be work. I love the summer, the ocean, love being near water. I'm not religious but I am very spiritual. I don't like politics but will easily debate it. I'm a caregiver by nature, love what I do for a living, I'm basically very easy going, I don't sweat the small stuff.

My friends would call me loyal, sincere, a big heart, sensitive, caring, very passionate, honest (sometimes a little too much - I can be blunt). I'm a pretty strong gal (with a very sensitive side), the one who people usually come to for help. I don't scare easily, been pretty independent all of my life, but sometimes it would be nice to be just a girl, let someone else drive the car for a while. I have been separated for quite some time now, finally moved out of the house with my daughter this past summer and hoping to be divorced very soon! I'm not bitter, angry or resentful. I am very grateful for my daughter and I like to think of life's ups and downs as lessons learned. As long as you learn, you keep growing. I'm not materialistic - you can't take it with you.

Basically, I would love to find someone to be my best friend, lover, partner (eventually). Friends first. I don't have a revolving door of boyfriends to confuse my little one. I'm looking for someone who is kind, affectionate, passionate, non-judgemental, someone strong, not easily intimidated (as I'm a pretty strong willed person myself), spiritual "awake", someone who knows what he wants and hopefully will want me!

Special Note: I'm a package deal, so if you have already raised your kids and are not into that scene anymore, then I am not for you. I'm not looking for a new daddy or for someone to take care of us, just that I have a child and may not be as available as you may like. I don't stay out late on school nights!

Thanks for reading my profile and I hope you find what you are looking for - Me Too

The reason I prefer not to say about smoking is that I'm in the quitting mode, still sneak one on occasion, down to a pack a week - Almost there

I tried to put some more pictures up from my vacation last summer - really I hate pictures, I don't photograph well - don't worry I'm in pretty good shape!

Oh, I really don't care - skip the formal stuff and keep it casual. Save the dinner and dancing for when we already know that we want to party.
