I am cute, funny, and I love to laugh.
My Self-Summary
Moved from the city to the suburbs eight years ago but still very
connected to the diversity and cultural activities of NYC. I am
tall, medium built and I’m told often that I’m prettier than my
photo and look much younger. I consider myself fun, worldly,
experienced and adventurous, but also grounded. A perfect afternoon
would be the taking in the sights and sounds of somewhere I haven‘t
been before. I love to go to the movies then after wards having
coffee analyzing the plot or choking up at the sappy ending. I’m
looking for a great guy who knows how to lead sometimes and walk
hand in hand other times. I’ll bake cookies or stew the Jambalaya,
but would appreciate a great meal out occasionally.
What I’m doing with my life
I am an elementary school teacher. I teach kindergarten. I have
been teaching for twelve years. I have also taught 1st, 4th and 5th
grades. But I enjoy the little ones the most. I have also been
doing a lot of traveling (France, England, Spain). Hope to see
Italy next summer. Yeah, its nice having two months off in the
summer!
I’m really good at
I love to dance! I especially love dancing salsa. I have take belly
dancing lessons and hula. And yes, I do consider myself a really
good dance.
The first things people usually notice about me
My Hair and Smile. You would describe the color as steel gray. It
is very stunning and I keep it short. However, lately I've been
thinking of growing it long. I've gotta great smile!
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I just finished "A Thousand Pleasant Suns" (loved it!) I'm reading
The Red Tent" now. Recently read The Kite Runner. Favorite authors:
Amy Tan, Walter Mosley, Grisham, Patterson, Tananarive Due, J
California Cooper. Favorite books change all of the time, but right
now it would be: The #1 Ladies Detective Agency. Favorite adult
movie is The Shawshank Redemption. My favorite children's movies
are Babe and Happy Feet. Favorite musical West Side Story. I am
really into trying new and different kinds of foods. I really enjoy
Ethiopian food, Italian, Gourmet Chinese. I like any type of live
entertainment when it comes to music. From Jazz to World, to Pop to

The six things I could never do without
1. My daughter
2. Books on Tape (audio books)

6. A good sense of humor
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Romance and chemistry, bagels on Sunday, optional.
On a typical Friday night I am
Love exploring the city. Finding little out of the way eateries.
Discovering the newest Off-Broadway hit. Sleeper foreign films.
Listening to music. That new museum exhibit. Listening to slam
poetry jams. Take out and a video. I am always open to trying and
doing new things, discovering new places or just chillin at home.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
What’s up with all of you white guys who are willing to date every
ethnicity EXCEPT African American? Can you give a sista a chance?
You should message me if
So many men are afraid to smell the flowers for fear of getting
stung by a bee. So email me if you are willing to take a chance of
walking in my garden.
