I like camping, almost all animals, the smell of fresh cut grass, the redwoods in spring, gardenias and stargazer lilies...anything that really engages the senses...fragrant flowers,the beauty of nature like the rugged California coastline, the azure waters of the South Pacific, fine silk and cashmere clothing against my skin...but only when it's on sale ;) I love to travel and fortunately my job provides great travel benefits...and this year I will have 20 days to enjoy those benefits! Currently working out to get back in shape for this summer's trip to Oregon for white water rafting on the Rogue River and hiking at Mt Hood.

I enjoy my work but am not married to my job. I'm a very laid back person...so probably not your typical salesperson.

I have a 12 yr old daughter who lights up a room when she walks in. She lives with her dad...we co-parent and have a NO drama relationship...which is something I look for in a companion.

Qualities I look for in a man are: honesty, integrity, intelligence, wit, optimism, willingness to try new adventures...maybe at the drop of a hat :) and an easy-going nature.

I'm looking for that special connection that makes you know that you will be holding hands and still having sex when you're 90 :) I grew up in the REAL South and believe that men should take care of their women...and that women should take care of their men :) I would appreciate a man who instinctively wanted to take care of me...start my car on a cold morning, carry in the groceries, take out the trash...not because I ask him to do these things but because he cares about me and knows how to show it :) I am a loving, affectionate and giving woman and when a man shows me that he cares about me he will ALWAYS get what he needs from me...sometimes even before he knows he needs it ;)

I think a great first date would be a trip to the zoo or just hanging out at the botanical garden with a picnic lunch.
