About Me

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my profile. I have a life long love of learning, experiencing and sharing. Enjoying sports, keeping active, home repairs/renovations (bought my own brand new place 4 years ago), and gardening keep me busy and I'm ready to share these interests with the right man, should he happen along without a steady stream of addictions and outrageous hangups. I am a strong, free thinking woman who likes a challenge, and will only ask for help when I positively cannot do it myself, hopefully before I scream, "I Surrender!" My friends tell me I am witty and missed my calling as a comedian. I love to write, read: am a history and nature enthusiast, adore a good thought provoking novel, and love satire and nonfiction, and action/adventure fiction, try to keep up on current events, ask many questions, (and actually stop long enough to listen to the answers), watch a good flick and almost always have the music on. I do enjoy quiet alone time too. Being the unwilling sacrificial victim of a Scottish mother's cuisine, I love to cook, and bake edible goodies for one and all. I'm socially aware, and respectful of others, and my environment. I am comfortable in elegant and casual attire, and can effortlessly adjust from spikes to hiking/gum boots = great investments. I seek to understand first, and then be understood. I like change, exploration, and adventure. I have two active dogs also needing exercise, and down time.I have been separated for 10 years and divorced for 7 years, am an independent, hard working single mom of two teenagers. I avoid drama and conflict, and refuse to reward poor behaviour, or engage in silly nonsense, hurtful game playing. I understand at times it's best to step away from unhealthy situations for the time being. Sometimes things go on the bucket list, and sometimes they go on the phucket list. The beauty of aging is knowing the difference... I am currently getting ready to complete my teaching degree, so I will be free to work, and travel anywhere my heart desires: which is my ultimate master plan, should I remain single. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger, and hopefully isn't a freight train! However, I see myself on a plot of land with some animals, fresh air, peace, quiet, and tranquility. Our family owned a cottage at Shawnigan Lake for over 30 years, and I have always had an overwhelming pull towards the Cobble Hill area, and other blissfully uncomplicated island places. I thrive at my challenging and rewarding career which thankfully to this day, remains stimulating for me. I've thoroughly enjoyed said job most every day over the past 2+ decades, making and maintaining solid, mutually respectful friendships along the way with colleagues and students alike. I am active, social, honest, loyal, reliable, and generous. I have however recently learned through a course I attended, that doing more than my fair share leads to burn out and resentment, so will disengage immediately were that to happen in any relationship again. I have been raised with a strong set of core values that I firmly believe and have passed onto my children, whom are currently, firmly engrossed in full-scale resistance, all-knowing teenage mode. I am flexible, a good listener, and see the humour in every situation; albeit, the stressful ones, later on... I don't take life too seriously (always have a zinger on the tip of my tongue), have an abundance of energy, and don't do idle well. I remain close friends with elementary & high school pals, family friends, all former boyfriends, and my large extended family, all whom appreciate quality British humour.- It looks as if my daughter will be competing in the World Youth Track &; so am busy researching/planning a holiday around what is sure to be an ultra cool experience with her team mates, and their families. Now considering coffee smuggling as a new hobby rather than hounding my friends to buy 3 million boxes of chocolate almonds, cookie dough, or plants, get their vehicles washed, and donate their empty bottles/cans to what feels like the endless fundraising theme of the month. I am uninterested in being lengthy pen pals as I am a get on with it, sort of a lass. My career dictates decency, which isn't a struggle for me; as well, employees in education are held to a higher level of public scrutiny. I strive for best personal achievement, harmony and balance, but as soon as it's no longer fun or nurturing - I'm done with that activity. I seldom drink after living in an abusive alcoholic nightmare marriage with an adult child masquerading as a responsible partner, and parent. I understand only too well there is no reasoning with irrational people, and have no desire to be sucked into that vortex of dysfunction ever again. Thus, have zero tolerance for people choosing a lifestyle that's controlled by substances in my personal life. I don't feel my life is lacking anything other than a compatible adult male willing to keep up and share in my interests, and perhaps support my goals, as I would his. I've heard that other women choose dating, but nothing serious; which is apparently a cryptic code for advertising a skank fest with complimentary STDs. Totally not my aspiring quest, so chose looking for a relationship to hopefully weed out the Charlie Sheen type worshipers who seriously wonder why their marriages tanked. Grossly unappealing. One last thing: Must understand SNL humour, and be kind to all animals :) No pressure get to know each other chat at a mutually satisfactory locale, that hopefully serves beverages of all kinds, and quality food which I appreciate all the more if I don't have to always prepare it, accompanied by good music. Perhaps we could exchange the top 3 stupidest/smartest things we've done as an ice breaker...

    Woman. 50 years old. Zodiac sign: Pisces.

    Looking for: man. In age: 47-57

    Hello, and thanks for viewing my profile. I am caring, honest, down to earth, and I love a good laugh. I am looking for someone that I find attractive who is honest, considerate, and respectful of woman. A sense of humor and easy-going is a plus. Must be open and able to communicate well and would enjoy doing things together but also has interests of his own. I like to do things outdoors such as going for a walk and enjoying the sights, swimming, and occasionally going to an outdoor concert. I also enjoy going out to dinner or to a movie with a close friend. If a man wants to cook on the grill for us, that sounds great. I'll make the side dish. My priority in my life right now is raising my 6 year old daughter. She has visitation with her dad on week-ends, so I do have free time for dating and getting to know someone.I do miss traveling on occasion and would enjoy this with the right man. We can work out the details. I would like to clarify that I do not want to rush into anything and am just looking to date and get to know someone first and foremost and we will see where it leads. I like classic rock music and I occasionally go out for a drink and dancing with some friends. Would you like to join us some time?If my pic caught your attention or if you can relate to any of the above or think I could share in an interest of yours, please send me an *** drink or dinner in a public place and talk and find out if we enjoy each others company.
