About Me

I am a woman, a mother, and successful career professional who is in love with life, the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the beauty of nature. I maxed out my retirement at my job with 34 years of creditable service and I retired as of July 1, ***. While I do think I can adjust to this new lifestyle, I expect it to be temporary and do intend to return to work until my youngest son is through college. For now I'm decompressing, having some fun, doing some house projects (yes, I'm quite handy for a lady) and eventually I'll seek employment again. I'm not a lady who sits idle, so for me busy is good and my guy needs to be able to keep up the pace.I thrive on soaking up the sun, love digging in the dirt to see what flowers I can grow or landscaping project I can undertake. I enjoy live music, sports, almost anything that takes me outside, arts, traveling, family time, fine dining, casual entertaining, the beach and the mountains. The beach recharges me and time at my mountain house provides down time, fresh air and is always a nice weekend get away. In ***I was introduced to the fun of couples dancing and came to enjoy East & West Coast Swing, and a few other dances. If you enjoy couples dancing, you get bonus points and if you love swing, then double points for you, as I really do want to dance regularly again.Having lost loved ones, I know how fragile life can be. I value life, family, honesty, health. I try to be positive, make the most of each moment, eat healthy, exercise and work hard at everything I do. I made the switch to a vegetarian diet June ***. I value both organic and vegan diets, but am far from those diets at this point. I have no expectations of a vegetarian partner, but I do want a partner who will encourage me to exercise as I continue my journey to a healthier lifestyle. I work hard to remain at my ideal weight, am far from perfect and don't seek perfection, but I'm not attracted to men who are over weight. Therefore, I seek a slim, toned or athletic individual, not someone significantly over weight.I am emotionally and financially stable, so I don't "need" but do "want" a relationship. The quality man I seek should be of similar age, and understand that with a 17 year old son, I am first a mom. While dating, I hope to meet someone with whom I can eventually build a trusting relationship with a view toward an eventual long term exclusive relationship. That having been said, I seek a man who is happy, makes me laugh, values nutrition, health, shares values, pleasures, respects me and is a true gentleman. I want my partner to know how to dress when we go out, to know and use manners, open doors for me and his reassuring arm on me should give me that, "I am his his lady" feeling. Don't be mistaken, he should have enough bad boy in him to cause me to smile and shake my head in amazement at times. A beginning with physical attraction, common interests, friendship, laughter, respect and trust should be a great foundation for a solid friendship and potential relationship. My children include a married daughter, a son age 21 and a son age 17, who have always been the center of my world. My daughter graduated college, works and gave our family a beautiful child Nov ***. My oldest son is a Senior at UGA this fall (Go Dawgs!) and my youngest son is a Junior in high school. As I reflect, their childhood days have passed at lightening speed. I'm enjoying the last couple of years with a son still home, yet beginning to consider and embrace the many transitions ahead, this new phase of life....retirement, returning to the work force for a second but brief career, and the youngest son eventually leaving the nest.I am a woman with many skills,enjoy order, a well maintained yard and home. I'm comfortable in jeans/shorts and a "T", but also have an assortment of little black dresses, heels and jewelry to dress up and join you on the town. I love concerts, dancing, live music, or a quiet evening at home with my man sharing a beer by the pool or a bottle of wine as we make dinner. I want to meet my new best friend, and eventual long term partner. We are not all going to have that essential chemistry or be partners, but I will try to respond to those who contact me, for everyone deserves words and acknowledgement.I never planned to grow old alone and I still don't; However, I won't settle, so this search seems to be long and ongoing. Thanks for reading my profile. God's speed on your journey and may good health and happiness be abundant in your life as we each search for that one person who may become our life partner. "It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it". ~W. A coffee shop in the morning, a restaurant for lunch, an appetizer, a beer, a glass of wine, dinner, a frozen yogurt or a walk in the park. Anything goes as long as it affords both the opportunity to determine if we each wish to spend additional time together. Following us meeting, if we wish to see one another again, a first date could be anything we mutually decide. Surprise me and make a suggestion!

    He's three hours away and what seems a lifetime ago. I'm happy for the first time in years and didn't know how much he had been dragging me down. My only issue is that I don't have a nice guy to hang out with on my days off.I spent the first few months here concentrating on my my new career and getting my state license. I'm now happily employed and love doing my new job.There is so much to see in this part of the state that I haven't gotten out to see yet. I'm looking for a nice guy who would like to take me out to see his special places. I'm willing to experience new things. I wouldn't mind touring on the back of a motorcycle as a passenger (hint, hint!).I enjoy cooking and spending quiet time at home. I like to play puzzle games on the computer and read historical novels. Thank goodness for DVR so I can catch on the shows I miss while at work.But I like to get out and listen to live music (old time Rock & Roll is my favorite) and dance. I'm not a great dancer and prefer slow dancing (stand-up make out). I enjoy outdoor activities and hope to find someone with horses.I have a great sense of humor and try to make people laugh. I like to have great conversations and learn about other people. Meeting for drinks and/or dinner. A quiet place where we can talk without having to shout. Finding out if we have a connection to continue to meet again.

    In ***I gave notice after 26....... I am a passionate woman! I love life and am looking for someone who has a passion for life!! I am young at heart and have been told I have a 25 year old stuck inside! I am an optimist and don't like drama!! I am looking for companionship and a great friend, then possibly more! I am an independent woman who loves to be around her grandchildren, I have more energy than most and am looking for a fun loving, honest, one-woman man, who is young at heart and looking for the same qualities in a woman! I love to run and try to fit in a run every other day, I am more fit than I have ever been! I enjoy the outdoors and am usually on the go most of the time..be it summer or winter! there is so much about life that I enjoy! I also love to work...........I am not into games, I am not a player, and I am looking for someone who wants a relationship.....so if you are someone who would love these things about a woman, then I'm that one! Just to have companionship and conversation, and then we will see if we are compatible!
