Don’t you hate having to write about yourself? What are you supposed to say to “chum the water?” Before ya know it, you are swimming with the sharks!

First of all, I love to laugh ! One of my favorite things is a good conversation over a glass (or 3) of wine while watching the sun set over the water or later on catch the full moon's reflections in the surf.
I want to meet someone who is a decent, normal man, who is kind, secure, hot, confident, loyal, affectionate and honest. I want my next real relationship to be my last (meaning, I want it to last forever, not meaning that I wanna die in the process!)

Dawgs, liars, perverts, unemployed, anger issues or serial convicts need NOT apply (Honey, I don’t have the time or patience to deal with it)!

If you are just out to get laid, don’t bother me because that's not my goal by being on this website. I can do that any time, but I want more out of life. This website is just another resource for me. I am by no means desperate so I have the luxury of being choosy. I want a man in my life with character and a conscience. I am not looking for perfection because no one (including ME) is perfect, but common decency and a good heart is a great start.

I believe in long, passionate kisses, and jumping in with both feet with my hair on fire! I'm not looking for a "daddy" and I don’t want to be your "mama".

Dealbreaker: You MUST be able to kiss (KNOW it, don’t just think it)!

I believe a woman has got to love a bad man once or twice in her life to recognize and be thankful for a good one.

Right now I am enjoying what matters alot to me--trying to be the best mom and thinking about what its going to be like to have a grandbaby! Its getting very close.

listening, kissing, loyalty, cooking, being honest (ask me and I’ll be straight up with ya), keeping my word, photography, making new friends, dancing, fishing, decorating, and making people smile!

I'm fun to be around. My blue eyes and lately my tan!

Music - I live for music! I like Top 40's, Classic Rock, Blues, Country--
anything goes!

I've had to do without many things I thought I couldn't live without so I can't think of a thing to mention here.

the way people SHOULD treat each other vs. the way they DO treat each other. Honestly, would a man recognize a great woman if he found her? It seems the men I have met in the past (regardless of whether I met them through the internet, a bar, chance encounter, etc.) have little character, don't keep their word; and are lacking in common manners. Sound familiar???
It's disappointing, but I refuse to give up.
It's as if no one has a moral compass anymore.
I prefer the cold, hard truth -- I might not like what you say, but I will respect you for being honest. BUT becoming a grandmom for the 1st time has been occupying alot of my time and thoughts--he is due Oct. 1st!

I'm usually celebrating with friends that the work week is over!!!

is this question here to be creative?

You should message me only if:
1) You are NOT an absolute creep or just looking for casual sex.
2) You are interested in pursuing a friendship/relationship (NOT just another dog chasing tail!) -- it's one thing for a relationship not to work out, but a totally different thing to not even try.
3) You think I am totally hot and you'd want to whisk me off to Aruba, Costa Rica, Belize (kidding...sorta).
4) You can provide me with that fishing boat I dream about, or
5) You have read my entire profile and think that you can handle me!

With text messaging, IMing and E-mailing, it's so easy to make and break dates; and say things to each other you would NEVER say face-to-face.
It gives us way too much leeway to mistreat each other and not account for it.
At some point, we will all have to be held ACCOUNTABLE for ourselves, our actions and the choices we make.
My grandma told me:
“What goes around, comes around”...I believe that to be true.
A smart man once said:
“Lie To No One. If they are close to you, you will screw it up with a lie. If they are strangers, who are they that you'd need to lie to?”
