About Me

Recently resettled on the north side of Brisbane. I've spent the last 16 years in Sydney and moved to QLD to be closer to family. About Me: I am NEVER going to run a marathon so for all you fitness fanatics out there, I wish you well, I will never join you!! I try to walk my dog most days and that's pretty much all you'll get from me in the fitness stakes so if that type of lifestyle is really important to you, bravo, I will support and encourage you, just don't expect it to be a shared interest. I'm quite the home body however enjoy going out for big occasions with friends (although there is much less of this now ie "I don't know a lot of people here"). My idea of settling down is to be perfectly happy with just our own company and "playing house", dining out occasionally or catching up with friends.I work with families and am quite passionate in my career - at times I've struggled to maintain a healthy work/life balance however am looking to redress this, hence part of the reason for the move back to Brisbane.I have a number of interests, most of which involve solo pursuits I've ascertained! Have lots of books, CDs, movies and am looking forward to reinvigorating my interest in arts and possibly a wine club or something sociable once I've settled in a bit. Oh and I'm also not very tall but they don't quite have an option for "short, fat chick"...I like to try to get to know someone online first, I know that doesnt quite appeal to everyone, but I can tend to ask '20 questions' and feel a bit more comfortable here first before venturing either into the real world or speaking into a telephone.Dinner, the pub, coffee, lunch, a movie - anything goes really, have done it all and you get to see if there's any connection with the person sitting opposite/beside you before possibly considering a second date.

    " To love at all is to be vulnerable." C.S. LewisSmart ,a zany sense of humour,a joie de vivre attitude,down to earth,very romantic and loving, kind,adventurous, unpretentious, curious, spontaneous,generous, highly compassionate, hmmm....need more descriptors? :))A no drama, low maintenance lady that lives simply and enjoys quality. I'm a born optimist ,but a realist. Touch is one of my major love languages, and I love snuggling with my man, stealing kisses in the rain..Outgoing with a few places of shyness.Family and friends are such valued treasures. Be forewarned.... smiling.... as gentle bantering can be expected.Eclectic and varied other interests are part and parcel of who I am. I also love animals, although I've been without a dog the past few years. . I would term myself as a country sophisticate...a boots and jeans,chicks in the oven and calves in the bathtub type of gal,as I'd lived on a cattle ranch for many years- and then it was off to the symphony that night.I adore music as it's part of the fabric of my life.My tastes run all over the board ,from Verdi and Haydn,to Sting and Roy Orbison ,as well as R & B ,doo-wop,and yes, even the opera ! :) Slow dance ,cheek to cheek with me to Etta James's "At Last" in the parking lot ...I love to read, and haunt bookstores and the library.Theater and symphony season tickets enrich and color my world ,as does attending concerts in the park,musuems and art galleries.I live my life simply, but enjoying every day. I listen to NPR, enjoy Klick and Klack, A Prairie Home Companion, a good hockey game as well as the Cougars or Seahawks. I'm a talented cook in the kitchen,- think Julia Child ! :***and would love to have you be my permanent ,full time sous chef ! A kitchen dance, a glass of wine....Smiling...Travel is something I'd love to do more of,especially with a co -adventurer. There's alot of beauty to be savored and backroads to explore together .And I'd love for someone to teach me how to fish,and yes,even golf.You up for it?:))Camping , boating /sailing are enjoyed ,but even more so if I have a decent bed, and a hot shower is available.I want a full partner and a best friend to go through this autumn season of my life with - a wingman - where we feel as if we've come home when holding each other....authenticity,being vulnerable,gentle bantering with each other,being able to be silly at times, sharing wonderful deep discussions about everything and nothing,loads of laughter ,making memories,being supportive of one another and nurturing the relationship .... having a smoking hot love affair that rocks and endures the rest of our lives. !My Christian faith defines who I am and how I live my life.....and I'm looking for a partner who also shares those beliefs.With that goes being a conservative politically. I'm looking to develop a friendship that might lead to marriage....." If a man is worth knowing ,he is worth knowing well "You're a man of character and depth,you have the courage to do your road less traveled,and laughter comes often and easily.You are that man who desires romance,love and respect in a relationship ; is searching for his forever best friend . You're spontaneous and fun !! Young acting and thinking... intellectually stimulating ,have integrity and you're an open communicator , plus being emotionally available .Loving,kind and compassionate.In other words- you live out your core values,not perfectly, but certainly with effort.You know how to ask for forgiveness and extend it freely. You choose to do the right thing, even though it may cost you. Our interests certainly don't all have to coincide ,but we can celebrate our differences .You will have a zest for living life , the wonder of a child exploring God's creation. All topped off with a touch of class ,and a splash of polish -smiling....And yes I do recognize a good man when he comes along into my life. I'm more interested in your character and personality than your looks, although you do need to be attractive to me. Yes, women are visual as well,but not like men are ! ;)And ,you may be younger than me or a younger acting older man. Ages ***.So much more to discover..... let's do forever together.;) !!Also ,if you tag me in the MEET ME and you have mileage restrictions on your profile,I cannot contact you,so change your parameters.I am open to long distance....with the right man... certainly not Pollyannish about the unique obstacles that distance can present ,but these are short term risks that may have a life time bonanza. A heart that has found a home.A first meeting would be a coffeehouse.... like Starbucks, or a glass of wine at a quiet restaurant, or...perhaps even a winery.Walking along the riverfront with lots of conversation is another option. Lets do something fun together! :) If the magic is there, and if we're left with wanting to see more of one another........the sky's the limit!If not, we can gracefully acknowledge that.Oh,let's just run away to Tuscany, and listen to Bocelli sing in the amphitheatre, and we'll dance under the canopy of a midnight sky filled with the brilliance of the stars....too far ? ...well,a girl can dream,hey ? teasingly said...LOL!For a first date....,that's after we've met ,right ?smiling.... and then ....ahh,you'll have to meet me first....

    Sometimes I wonder if maybe we should start with our quirks and flaws. If those are acceptable... we can move to the good stuff. ;) I will tell you one and if it's acceptable, message me and tell me one of yours. I frequently run out of water or forget to buy important things at the grocery store. I'm there at least 4 times a week. Now you... Good conversation, silly banter and laughing are important. If we can bounce jokes off of each other and relax...we've got a good start. I like to talk about nothing, which is basically anything and it's usually something ridiculous. If random things happen to you and you can tell the story well, I'm very interested. ;) I'm very open-minded. I love trying new restaurants. I like supporting local businesses. I'm pretty chill and easy going. I'm passionate about learning and curious about everything. I can get just as excited about philosophy as I can about shoe shopping. I'm balanced and I think the world is always gray, (as in everything can be seen from many angles, not as in a dreary disposition). Looking to find someone with goals, vision, a good vibe and who is open to new things as well. Someone to enjoy time with...someone who is easy to talk to, has a great heart, loves to laugh, and can be silly. You should enjoy good conversations, great food and nights out but also be able to relax and spend a day in bed or on the couch. I love to cook and eat and talk about the food I'm eating... so, foodies are welcome. I'd like to find someone a bit adventurous, who likes to try new places, whether that be traveling the world or staying in the city.Drinks, good conversation and lots of laughing ;)
