I'm a divorced mom to 2 great kids, an 11yr old girl, and 10yr old boy. By no means do I need a man in my life - I'm looking for someone I want to have in my life.
I live in LeClaire, have 3 cats and a new lab puppy. Whew!
I work full-time M-F in a medical office and am also a small business owner on the side.
I own my own home, am a responsible adult, don't use drugs, smoke very occasionally when stressed and drink only socially.

At this point, I really want to spend some time "dating" instead of just meeting one person and trying to make a relationship. How do we know we have found the "one" if there is no one else to compare him to? I am so not a jelous person and I expect to find someone who is the same.
Ideally, I'd like to chat for a little while and let us both decide if we "click". Then, we can decide if we'd like to meet. I don't do pushy, so if that's you, move along.
Please, please understand that for both of us, attraction is a BIG thing! If you choose to send me a mail I'm gonna assume you think I'm attractive. So, I need to find you attractive too for this to work :)
If you don't have a pic on your profile you need to attach one to get a response from me. Also, please don't send me an IM as your first attempt at contact.


I'm looking for a mature man who knows what his priorities are and what he wants out of life and from his partner. I want someone I can tell anything to without being judged, a guy who loves long conversation and can be honest to a fault.
I'm looking for someone who lives on his own (with or without kids), has his life under control and is secure both financially and with himself. I want to find the man that I want to talk to at 2 in the morning, the man who can see me with my hair all a mess in a ponytail and in sweats and still think I look the same to him. I want to look at a man who just mowed the grass, body covered in sweat and say .. damn, you look good!

Gotta like a man who is good to his kids and mine.

I am looking for someone who has the time for a realtionship. I don't need *all* of your time, but I do want you to want to hang out with me as much as I want to see you. I generally am attracted a man who is on the larger side. Ya know, taller, larger build. I like a man who is clean, has a great smile, and someone who looks like they can do some physical labor.
You gotta love animals and absolutely have to have a great sense of humor

I spend my free time...
I enjoy hanging out with my 2 kids, going to my son's baseball games, talking with friends, playing with my puppy, and hey .. I'm a girl - I love shopping!

About my job...
I work at a local hospital in one of the medical offices. I LOVE the job I do, as it makes a HUGE difference in people's lives. I can not say enough how much I love the people I work with and how glad I am that I work there.


My last good read...
I'm always up for a Nicholas Sparks book, but usually don't have the time to sit down and read a whole novel. I usually just browse the newspaper or read some articles in a magazines.

My top 3 favorite movies and why you should see them...
Hmmm, this is a tough one.

I loved Breakfast Club as a teenager.
Titanic & The Notebook. Everyone deserves to have someone in their life that feels that deeply about them.

The top 5 things I can't live without...
1. My kids
2. My animals
3. My friends
4. My sanity
5. Good food

My personal soundtrack...
I think I have a pretty broad taste in music. Pretty much the only stuff I don't like is metal and rap. My kids try to get me to play the Pop stuff .. but when it's just me I'm all about 96.1. The stuff from the 80's and 90's is what I prefer .. maybe because it takes me back to being and older teenager and all the memories that go with that.

My motto...
It will all work out in the end. Very hard to believe when you're going thru something tough .. but I have found out, it's true.

If I could be anywhere right now, I would be...
Ok .. this actually has nothing to do with where I'd like to be right now, but I'm sure it's something that you guys like to know. Anyway ... In my opinion body size is all relative and based on your own preference and attraction. I'm a size 10/12 and am 5'3". I had a major weight loss 10 years ago and just had plastic surgery last summer for excess skin. So, if scars gross you out .. hit the road! LOL

For me the most important thing is getting the time and having the place to talk.
Dinner just seems logical. We have our food and drink to save us at those times that we just don't know what to say .. yet, still can talk and stay as long as we want. ;)
