About Me

It is always fun to meet the occassional new person, broaden one's horizons, act outside the box etc. Reviewing summer, I went to many ole favaourite lakes, Durance and Cameron, several times, and I made it to one new, to me, lake - Spectacle Lake. I went camping five times between May and August, and aim to camp more next summer. Cycling is something I really enjoy, and is so much more fun to do with at least one other person, and I got to cycle with my kid a fair bit this past spring and summer. I have a very nice Italian custom-made road bike I brought back from Italy. I also spent three years in Japan. I like planning, and am pretty organized, and my two career paths (education and mental health and addictions) are slowly coming to harmonize in a very meaningful way for me. Apparently compatible with Libra, Aquarius, Gemini, Capricorn, late Cancer and late Virgo if you are interested in the Astrology take. Monkeys like me are known to play well with rats and dragons too. I am the oldest child and am most compatible with the youngest or the only child. Since doing triathlons in Japan, and biking long in Italy, I now work on being satisfied with the lesser amount of exercise freedom I have since my awesome kid was born in ***single mom by choice). When my kid is in his Karate class, I am watching from a stationary bike or a yoga mat. When my kid is in his swimming lessons, I savour vigorous laps for the precious 30 minutes. When my kid is in his tennis lesson, I yoga. I teach yoga, as a sub, whenever I can too. I have my kid full-time, and am just starting to see glimpses of the potential to get more exercise - perhaps I will be doing triathlons with my son one day. So my favourite thing to do with a new person would be to exercise together, even if just at conversation pace. I have also started mindful meditation practice, with a group, this winter too. What makes me unique....I don't have tattoos and I don't want any. I don't drink coffee regularity, but if I do drink coffee, it has to be a decaf. Having a very keen sense of smell, coffee and garlic breath bother me. I have a bit of a Tomboy personality, but I do not swear, use derogatory humour, or assumptions, aimed at anybody. I succeed at some minor house hold improvements, such as putting up my own curtain rods or waterproofing my own pic-nic table. I would like to make my own shoe rack/tower one day. I do like being womanly, and take some pride in my appearance without feeling I need make-up- hey at least it is not going to get any worse. I am not the "princess" type, yet do not mind a door being opened for me or a tea being bought for me. I am usually pretty open-minded. I am told I have a great sense of humour and I really like it when I can make people laugh and smile. I aim to improve myself in various ways. Be the improvement in my diet (already no pork, beef, heavy carbs, white death (white sugar) or regular dairy consumption), parenting, social interactions, furniture arrangement, manners, personal hygiene or facial tics; I am always looking to improve myself ;) I like cooking. I am frequently told by my kid and my friends that I am a good cook. I like making Japanese food sometimes, like miso soup. I also make my own homemade granola bars with coconut oil *** butter, and homemade museli with my own roasted pecans. Now that it is colder, I make soup from my own stock. I am detail-oriented, and I value communication. I'm an occasional Walmart and Costco shopper (so why don't you shoot me baby!), yet am highly considering going vegan. Very occasional drinker. I don't like to socialize at bars. I aim for balance in diet, lifestyle, and on the yoga mat ;)I value friendship. I am not against getting into a sexual relationship, but it is definitely not the be all, end all for me - yet by no means am I asexual (interesting documentary titled by the very word, by the way). Most of my relationships start with friendship, and end with sometimes an even better friendship. My intention here is to make another friend, possibly more over time. I am not into internet chatting. Just *** enough, and what I aim for is less time in front of sceens. I do like to talk on the phone though, see if we get along voice to voice before stepping it up to face to face. ***, word processing and work related computer time is more than enough screen time. Yoga music is nice, like Shastro and Down City Dwellers. I used to think the best music is that that you can dance to, but over the years I have come to appreciate the mellower melodies as well. I pretty much enjoy most kinds of music except for rap and some country. Most of my listening when I need to drive (I prefer to cycle when distance and weather permit) is to CBC radio. My kid loves the Zucchero CD I brought back from Italy. I stay away from big concerts with big crowds that are really loud. I've volunteered at Bluegrass Music festivals a lot, and enjoy the Bluegrass Festival atmosphere. I will not respond to those with no pictures, near naked pictures, all distant pictures, or pictures with big sunglasses on.Meeting somebody is not a date to me - much too strong of a word. I would call it "meeting," and we can figure it out together...It is nice to check out each others voices over the phone before meeting. Guaranteed if we don't like each others voices, we will not like each other in person either.

    Woman. 40 years old. Zodiac sign: Capricorn.

    Looking for: man. In age: 30-50

    WHO I AM: A forty year old, happy-go lucky, independent, always on the go, single mom who enjoys relaxing with my family and friends. I have an incredible job that I love. I am fiercely passionate about most things in life and I enjoy travelling, although I have not done enough of it. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME:My daughter is the most important thing in my life. I never leave home without my IPOD. I once thought I had lost it and I was sure I was having a heart attack. Luckily that crisis was averted when I found it on the floor of my car.I’m not athletic by any stretch of the imagination, but I am walking/starting to run again outdoors and doing yoga. Love 'em both. My friends call me the dictionary...lol...cause I use big words. I guess it’s cause I read a lot, but don’t ask me to spell, Spellchecker is my best friend. I have a crazy ability to know the lyrics of most songs or the name of the artist who sings it. This ability decreases with country or heavy metal music. But I cannot sing...unless I've had a few glasses of wine...cause like who doesn't sing better after some wine? My idea of a vacation usually includes a beach and someone who brings tropical drinks and my idea of outdoorsy is chillin' on a floaty in the pool, but I have been known to enjoy a hike or a bike ride every now and then. I’m not a sports fan, but I get into playoff fever and would never pass up an opportunity to see a game in person. If I had to choose I would say football over hockey. On my bucket list is a trip to New York to see a broadway show and the Giants play. (No not a Giants fan, just wanna see a game in New York) I really don’t like chick-flics, a good action or drama does it for me. And forget horror movies, I'd just watch them through my fingers or with a blanket over my eyes anyway....Occasionally I need to go out and get my groove on...but I'm just as comfortable having a dance party in my kitchen. I love dogs. Don’t have one of my own, but I borrow my parent’s and friend’s dogs all the time. WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR:At this stage of my life I'm looking for a companion, someone that I admire and respect like a best friend but who I am physically attracted to. I'm looking for someone who has their, for lack of a better word, $hit together, who knows who they are and is good in their own skin. I want to spend my time with someone who enhances my life, not complicates it. Not to sound cliché, but I have no interest in games or any type of drama. Sorry no pic, no reply. Happy fishing.

    Woman. 34 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    Looking for: man. In age: 24-44

    Well not really sure how to explain myself, i'm pretty easy going, have a good sense of humour, enjoy meeting people.I like to go out and do stuff but i'm also the type of person who could lazy around with a movie night as well. Not really sure how else to describe myself, what you see is what you get. I'm honest and i don't think anyone should have to be lied to including myself so i pretty much tell it as i see it.I recently moved for work. So I'm in a totally new place and do not know anyone. Kinda a new start I guess. I'm looking for someone who loves to try new things, is opened minded and easy going. Someone who is easy to talk to and hang out with no matter what we are doing.

    Woman. 71 years old. Zodiac sign: Libra.

    Looking for: man. In age: 61-81

    Isn't it funny how the older you get, the more you enjoy the littlest things? That's me these days...having fun listening to my music, sharing quiet dinners and good times with friends and family, watching movies, going for day trips to the beach and who knows where. I'm a Rays fan and Orioles too and am glad that football season will be here again so I can cheer on my Redskins..well maybe the ***season will end up being their year (HTTR)! Don't get me wrong, I still love dressing up and going to dinner and have always loved to dance. I sometimes cry at church and continue to grow spiritually. Life is such an amazing journey and I'm going with fun and curiosity to wherever it leads me! Yes, I'm definitely still a work in progress :) And my vision of you... well, let's see... You're funny and honest and humble and real - perhaps you recognize that you're still a work in progress too. Maybe you like lazy Sundays watching football (or golf, or baseball or ??), can laugh at yourself and want someone to have fun with doing both familiar and unfamiliar things. You're a gentleman. You want to be valued as such and can appreciate being in the presence of "a Lady" (although there may be times when that may be considered a little questionable by some..LoL!) You have a family that you treasure and can pull out the pictures to brag on and on about how amazing those precious gifts are. Your expectations are on the higher side, but the realistic "you" also realizes that it takes a while to be able to assess if they exist or have potential to evolve into something you may not have thought possible with someone you may not also have thought possible...In the meantime, you would have no regrets simply because the relationship turned out to be a meaningful one. I bet you're wondering how any of this can work at this stage... it makes me laugh and shake my head at the thought that it's a possibility, but then again... the idea that perhaps you're out there, ready to have fun and laugh, become friends... and share adventures together... wow, wouldn't that be amazing!
