Okay so maybe it's time for a change of pace here. I sometimes find myself getting too comfortable with where I'm at "right now". While I wouldn't classify myself as in a rut, I've carved out a great niche in my life; I've got a great job(s) that I love doing and look forward to every single day. I've got a great friends, great family, great, great, great! But as far as having that someone special to share it all with- that seems to have eluded me thus far. And I know who's to blame. I've made my surrounding and my daily routines so comfortable that I sometimes find it difficult to step out of them. Live outside of the proverbial box. There's definitely room for you. Most of my social life involves events where companions fit rather nicely. Like to golf? Have at least one evening and one formal dress? Comfortable talking to total strangers? Don't mind being on a stage in front of a few hundred (sometimes thousand) people? Can you sing karaoke in a dive bar two hours later? Then hit a camp ground for the weekend? Yeah, that's me. July 4th weekend last year actually. I guess I'm looking for someone who's at the same place in her life. While I'm all for being there for someone, I can't be the only good thing going on in your life. I (and you) should be the icing on this cake we call life. The sprinkles on your doughnut. The Veuve Cliquot on your strawberries. You get the idea.
My kids are grown (started young) and my time is generally my own. I've generally got a cause/project/charity or two that I am extremely passionate about (especially if it involves children) and that I will put a lot of time and energy into and will drag you along if you're not careful! Drop me a quick note and I'll tell you about what's going on these days and how you can help.

That'll do for now. I'll try and make a point of adding to this so check back periodically. Thanks for looking!

By the way, the "Does it bother you to be watched?" post below was from the cooking forums. What did you think it was, ya dirty girl?!! Wait, I kinda like your thinking!

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.

You know, just anywhere where a decent conversation can be had would be nice. Things generally progress rather nicely if you can just get a few quite moments together to get know each other...
