About Me

I have decided to update my profile. We should all do that every once in a while shouldn’t we? Reexamine ourselves…So first let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a single mother of two wonderful teens that live with me 100% of the time ***cats). I recently went back to school and now work with special-needs children, which I really enjoy. However, I am contemplating going back to school in the fall to work towards a diploma. I am happy and in good spirits 99% of the time regardless of what life throws my way. I still consider myself a ‘happy endings’ type of person. I have a sarcastic sense of humor. I have been described as quirky and like the fact that, at times, I can be a big goof. I don’t mind laughing at myself and love to make others laugh. I am not afraid to make an ass of myself and consider myself a pretty confident person. I still sing Christmas Carols badly, eat chocolate, snore, and dance around the house (without good dance moves). I love to read, am a movie fanatic, enjoy cooking, and am trying to find the motivation to be a more active person. I am still very curious about life and think I look and act younger than I am.Here’s the main reason I wanted to update my profile. I’ve noticed a lot of people state that they don’t want someone with scars or emotional baggage. But doesn’t that just mean that you haven’t really lived or loved? I have scars, how can I not? At 42 I can say that I have loved and I have been hurt. This doesn’t mean I don’t want to try again, and it certainly doesn’t mean that I am not a trusting person. I still believe in true love. What I have noticed is that, as we get older, we tend to think our perfect match will be perfect from the get go and I’m not sure that’s realistic. We all have faults, no one is perfect. I have blue days, I don't yell often but it happens, my ass is bigger than I'd like it to be. Basically, I'm human. There are going to be things about me that annoy you. The question is, does the good outweigh the bad? Can you look past those idiosyncrasies, even get a chuckle out of them? I’m looking for a partner that will compliment me, not complete me. I am hoping for a mutually supportive, fun relationship full of romance, caring, tenderness, and laughter.I have been divorced for over ten years. While it was crushing at the time it was the best thing to happen to me. I have become a confident and capable woman in that time. It made me the woman I am today and a great mother. I am a catch (excuse the fishing reference)! So, all those scars and baggage help make us the person we are – and propel us to become the person we wish to be.I’m going to end with a quote by Marilyn Munroe, “I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.” And my best is pretty damn good!I don’t mean for this to sound materialistic but it has been an issue in the past so I will address it. I am a single mother supporting two children on my own. Finances are always an issue and I live on a very modest budget. I cannot afford fancy trips or expensive dates, not that I wouldn’t enjoy them. I just feel guilty that I cannot reciprocate. Many in my age range seem to be at a more comfortable place financially while I see myself as just getting started, or starting over. Hmmm, I'd like to start with a few *** phone calls and then we can chat about a get together, maybe a walk or coffee/tea?... We all know there has to be some kind of physical spark.

    Woman. 45 years old. Zodiac sign: Gemini.

    Looking for: man. In age: 42-52

    Let me put this plain and simple...I'm hoping to find "the one"I'm very independent, financially, and emotionally, I don't need a sugar daddy, or a daddy for that matter. I'm very easy going, don't sweat the small stuff, I'm a very positive person, and am looking for the same in a partner. Laughter is an absolute must, so if you don't have a sense of humor, please don't message me. I love to dance, and think it would be cool if you liked to dance too (even if it's just slow dancing) LOLMy taste in music varies, kinda depends on what I'm doing and the mood I'm in, but Im not a rap or country fan (this could be a deal breaker) lolWhat I'm hoping for the most, is to find someone with similar interests, is honest, and not here for a one nighter, or FWB's...that's not who I am, and it's not what I want.! :DWishing you all the best :) I'm not a huge fan of have a "meet and greet" in a timmies, so depending on the weather, maybe a walk down by the river, or a drink on a patio...we can chat and figure this out together :)

    About me:I have to admit, I am stealing part of this idea from someone I thought was pretty cool....I am going to use the word I a lot, however it is not because I am self centered, it is not because I think I am all that it is because if your still reading you must want to know what I am interested in. See I just used the word I 9 times in the first run on sentence and twice in this one :) I am a mother of 3. I am very involved with my kids and their sports. I enjoy hanging at the ball field on the weekends. I enjoy a great movie. I enjoy camping and the water, I even have been scuba diving in some pretty cool places. I enjoy travel, and this can be anywhere from a really adventurous planned vacation to a spur of the moment hop in the car and pick a direction and drive until I feel like stopping. I enjoy music, live concerts in the park, old 80's bands and even some live bands that just play locally. I enjoy trying new places to eat as well as hanging out in the kitchen and trying something new as long as I have someone there to keep me entertained haha.. I have a career, not just a job. I have had time to figure out what it is in life that I want. I am ready to love again Now for what I am not interested in..... I am not interested in just a hook up. I am not interested in someone that thinks I am going to take care of all their financial problems. I am not interested in someone who just has a job for the moment and is not interested in having a career. And I am not interested in playing mind games online or in person for any reason.Now, if you are still reading, lets talk about what I am looking for in you.You must be single. You must be looking for a best friend, and a lasting relationship that could lead to marriage. You must like kids, I am a package deal.You must be able to make me laugh. You must understand my crazy work schedule. And you must message me if you have liked what you have read so far! Had to throw that in, the must's were even getting to much for me lol!!Thanks for reading, see you in the in box ! Hopefully after talking/texting for a little bit we will agree on this together.
