I don't have a particular timeline or agenda here but I know the possibilities of actually meeting someone wonderful here are multiplied greatly if I have a profile up...lol.
I have been gone from here for a long time. Just figured I would restart my profile and see what all you folks have been up to.

I'm a Portland native so rather than list all of the Portlandy things I do, I'll list the ones I don't do:
I don't drink coffee. I used to drink copious amounts and then, overnight a few years back, it just turned on me. I have turned my hot beverage passion to tea and am perfectly content. (Same deal with microbrews and wine. Shrug. Waddayagonnado?)
I don't ride a bike. Not that I can't or wouldn't but I don't have one and I don't have storage for one and I live in the burbs (Tigard) which aren't nearly as bicycle friendly as the city seems to be. That said, I walk where I can and I recycle and I plan my trips so I don't drive all over hell and back just because I can. I try and minimize my carbon footprint where I can...except in the shower. I make up for that by picking up trash when I'm out and about. Balance in all things, people...balance.

I like yoga and consider myself spiritual rather than religious, I meditate and do breathing exercises. I pray to a god that I don't necessarily believe in but would like to. I am one of those quantum physics people who believe that thoughts become things so I pick the good ones. I'm not easily ruffled. I'm happy-go-lucky almost all the time. getting my nickers in a twist has never solved anything.

I love music and sing at the top of my lungs. My kids used to offer to pay me to not sing in the car. They are buttheads like that and I love them to pieces. They are blazing their own paths and it is kind of exciting to see...and sometimes terrifying.

'Nuff for now. I might rewrite every word tomorrow and contradict everything I wrote today. Sometimes, I do that. I change my mind.

book groups
trivia
yoga
...stuff like that...
Trying to figure out how to hook my tv up to a computer. Ok, not really trying, just thinking about it.

Being me.

I'm blonde? I'm tall? I smile a lot? I smell good?...Why don't you tell me?

I love to read. Lifetime learning is really important to me; even if the actual things I learn are not always earth-shattering. I'm in a couple of book discussion groups. Keeps me out of trouble on Monday evenings. A list of my favorite books in no particular order would have to include: The Tao of Pooh, To Kill a Mockingbird, Chocolat, Short stories by O'Henry and Water for Elephants (but NOT Ape House by the same author...what a disappointment.)

Movies are great. My tastes range far and wide but I prefer interacting with live humans.

I'm all over the place musically. Tho I avoid headaches which means I limit my exposure to things like gansta rap and heavy metal...I listen to KINK, NRK and OPB/NPR but have been known to dig COUNTRY on occasion as well...not the twangy stuff and I do have the capacity to keep that particular vice to myself ;). Live music or theater trumps just about any other activity when I'm weighing my options on any particular evening.

Food...I will pretty much eat anything not moving faster than I am. Except eggs. Eggs are icky. You can have mine.

( I'm pretty well rounded and love trying new things in all arenas ;))

Friends
Family
Art
Music
Books
Sunshine
Laughter
My toothbrush. Sorry, those are all important. I can't cut any of them.

How, where, why, when, who, what...not necessarily in that order :)

When I have a typical Friday night, I'll let you know.

If I told you here, it wouldn't be very private.
