About Me

What I like most about myself is that I'm authentic, and that I'm balanced. I am smart without being a know-it-all, I'm sarcastic without being mean or b*tchy, I'm passionate without being slutty, I'm strong without being hard, and I'm affectionate and loving without being clingy.I am a positive person who forgives easily, doesn't get bent over small stuff, never needs to be right at the expense of someone else's dignity, and who likes to move from one happy thing to the next happy thing. I am strong willed, irreverent, opinionated, fiery, passionate, kind, sweet,capable, forgetful, happy, fun, courteous, thoughtful, loyal to the core, blunt, outspoken, nurturing, affectionate and loving. What I’m doing with my life?I'm smelling the roses... soaking up the joy of my grandsons' belly laughs, rediscovering the world through the eyes of a curious toddler and pre-schooler, I've gotten my priorities in order and I don't miss any of the things I used to think mattered.I have the wisdom to know what happiness really is. Once, I looked for a bow wrapped package, but I've learned that happiness is made up of fleeting moments that can be easily missed... a certain smile, the unexpected smell of honeysuckle on a path in the woods, grass under bare toes, that new baby smell on an infants neck... I'm spending every moment I can relishing those little moments. I think that expectation is the greatest enemy of happiness, and I take one day at a time, living in the present moment rather than in the past or the future.You need to know that I'm a larger woman... queen size, ruebenesque, thick, curvy,chubby, pick your own euphemism. I don't say this to be self deprecating or apologetic.. I"m just being honest. I put on quite a bit of weight with a back injury, and I just got fixed up and back into old healthy habits. the extra weight is half off and I'm going strong (no couch potato here) ...I feel sexy as hell, I accept myself as is, and I demand that anyone who wants to share time with me feels the same way. I am fortunate enough to have good proportions despite the weight, , but I am fifty pounds overweight.Want a hiking, yoga, or gym partner? that would be a big plus....my gym membership allows me to bring a guest ! :) I'm not dieting, I'm resuming the active lifestyle I had before my accident and eating clean, and I plan to resume healthy living permanently....so if you are into drugs, or think of lying on the couch or drinking beer as activities, you probably aren't for me.What am I looking for? Ideally , I eventually want to meet that person who is my partner in life for the rest of my years. I'm ready to settle down and have a life with someone I love, albeit taking our time to arrive there to make sure it's the real deal. I am not interested in men who are dating for the sake of dating.... cool for you, but I'm ready for something more substantial at this point in my life. I am also not interested in dating long distance.I do need a basic physical attraction, but within that, kindness, awareness, intelligence and the ability to love deeply are more important to me than the size of your waistband, how much hair you have, or what you drive. I am impressed by what you are, not what you own.I truly do not care where we go or what we do, as long as it's public enough that I feel secure (I can't trust you 100percent until I've looked into your eyes), it's quiet enough to have real conversation, and we can both be comfortable.A walk by the river at sycamore shoals, or coffee at barnes and noble would do quite nicely :)

    I am your typical nice girl with an atypical sense of humor. I tend to be a little reserved and quiet around people I don't know until I get more comfortable around them, after which I warm up and become MUCH more talkative. I am a bit of a smartass with a rather sarcastic sense of humor, but I make people laugh, without hurting their feelings. Yay me! :)I love spending time with my family. I learned my love of hockey and baseball from my dad. We're all big fans of the Chicago Wolves and Kane County Cougars. On the weekends, I meet up with my friends in Chicago and check out all the awesome ethnic restaurants up there. I love trying new foods and new activities. I'm really easy-going, and I'm willing to try pretty much anything.When I spend time with my friends, we mainly just hang out and talk or watch movies, but we do sometimes hit up the bars and go dancing. I've recently started taking salsa dancing lessons and zumba lessons with some of my friends, which has been a ton of fun and totally counts as exercise, as far as I am concerned :) If you ever want to learn salsa, I'd be happy to take you with! We recently started up karaoke nights again on Wednesday nights, so I am getting back into practice with that. I also used to volunteer with the Humane Society back in college, but there isn't a branch near me now, so I'm looking for new volunteer opportunities. Any ideas?I am hyper, liberal, and random***Please note that I do not have a height requirement. I am really tall. You, however, do not have to be.***I would love to do some kind of activity that would allow us to talk, but give us something to do with ourselves to help bridge any awkward moments. Something like going to a hockey or baseball game ;) Or, going for a walk anywhere. Even doing something like roller-skating, which I haven't done in forever.

    Okay here is the short version of who i really am... I am a mother of two great kids that I devote my life to. I am a horror movie addict, I like to read (when i get the chance that is). Im not that big on the bar scene.. unless its a nice neighborhood pub with a pool table... I suck.. but still love to play. I also love comedy clubs. I'm not high maintenance at all and like to do for myself.. In the summer you will probably find me at some campground with my kids as I love camping. I admit.. im a sun worshiper and pray to the big ball of fire every day to warm me up. I'm more comfortable in jeans and t shirt and runners, don't get me wrong I like to dress up if I am being taken somewhere where its necessary.. but when I get home.. im hopping back in to my comfies and watching hockey, or football, which i have come to love as my son plays city football. I noticed that my values have changed over the years and what i am looking for today is so different than what i looked for when i was younger. I am more interested in someone who can have an intelligent conversation without getting bored, I want to meet someone with a great sense of humor and a big desire to enjoy life. I want someone who is kind to animals and loves children as much as I do. I miss having strong arms around me or cuddling with the right guy and doing nothing together. I miss the feeling of excitement just thinking his name or hearing his voice. My kids are basically grown My life is mine again and I would love to have a special someone to spend my time with. I hope one day I will meet himUntil then I am going to keeping enjoying life experiences. I am not in here to meet a man for a one night encounter. If this is what you are looking for, please keep searching profiles and good luck with your searupdate.... I don't smoke.. that is not a cigarette its something else.. if this offends you don't message megrabbing a timmy's coffee. (for me anyway.. u grab what you like to drink) finding a good place to sit and people watch ... always a good time... :D
