"Beautiful, Intelligent, Talented, Classy, and Honest"

Can you find the acronym? Who says it's a bad thing? I love to ride motorcycles. My goal is to someday build my own. I service my own vehicles and hope to restore my 1962 Chevy Shortbed Fleetside in my backyard. I would love to drive it to Hot August Nights, and have someone compliment my truck so I can say, "Thank you! I built it myself!" I love animals, especially dogs and horses. I'm a good cook, I can bake, I love boating and waterskiing. I want to learn to snow ski. I am a certified scuba diver (with not much experience). I am just as comfortable in a pair of greasy coveralls with tranny fluid in my hair as I am in a formal situation, wearing a dress and high heels. I clean up very nicely. I have a 17 year old son who moved in with his dad when he was 12, and came back home about eighteen months ago. He is a good boy and the greatest blessing in my life. I am generally happy, smiling and free spirited. (Warning I can also be stubborn, hard-headed and one way.) Sometimes I can be kinda loud, however, I can generally stay within the guidelines of tactful! I am trusting, easy-going, and I usually try to find the best in a situation, good or bad. If it's bad, I usually try to find the lesson, too! I like to work hard and play hard. I love most kinds of music, and listen mostly to classic rock and country. I am not much into t.v. I'm independent, fun-loving, and I can laugh at myself. (Sometimes, I crack myself up!) My oldest friend and I have been friends for over 25 years, and my true friends I can count on one hand (maybe a couple more fingers), and I count myself blessed in that respect as well. I enjoy being single (even if it is lonely once in a while). I can't be the only one left that believes in true love, and refuses to settle for less!

I am very family oriented, and my son and I have a very open and honest relationship. I am grateful that he talks to me about anything and everything, even if he knows I won't like it. My son and my mother (90 years old) are the most important people in my life, and being here for them is one of the biggest blessings in my life.

I would like to meet someone that appreciates a lady with many faces, and utilizes them all. Confident and self-assured, tall, funny, attractive from the heart, tolerant, patient, strong, and with old fashioned values to a certain extent. Someone comfortable enough with himself that I am given enough space to be myself; someone who will let me fight my own battles; someone I can trust for help if I'm in over my head and need two strong arms to haul me out. (That doesn't happen very often, I'm generally a peace maker...unless antagonized for extended periods -- then I'm not making any promises! lol) I have a tendency to run over people (not intentionally); and I don't expect anymore than I am willing to give...so, are you strong enough to be my man?

Maybe a motorcycle ride to the mountains, and lunch at some small out of the way place...or a picnic down by the river might be quite nice...I am open for suggestions.
