I think that I don't fit into the categories most people do. I am both driven and unsettled. Wild yet still. Always looking for an exciting adventure and don't do well when life is mundane. I am an outgoing, fun-loving, passionate person. I get my energy from people. Need down time, but have learned and accepted that I have a unique level of energy. I am optimistic and inspired by things constantly. Volunteering is important to me. I love to run, cook, garden, eat healthy (80% Paleo) and sometimes not so healthy food (bring on the pizza!!), enjoy good wine, bourbon and cheap beer, read a lot, laugh a LOT, spend time with friends, travel, hike, do anything active! I'd rather be outdoors than indoors. I love to be super dirty after a long back country camping trip and love those special opportunities not to shower, but am pretty well put together most of the time. Feminine. I LOVE the water; swimming, water skiing (lots this winter already!), kayaking, floating, anything! I am spontaneous.

Humor and wit are incredibly important to be. I love sarcastic people. I love someone dishing it out and giving it back. I cannot be with people who are judgmental or boring. If you're more of the queit, un-bantering type we aren't a good fit.

I have a great career that keeps me busy but maintain a good work-life balance. I spend lots of time running, cross training on the bike, hiking, yoga, anything to keep active. The more I move the happier I am. I own a home and have a Labrador, so those things occupy some time but i am a master at balance! I'm embarking on a journey to become a really good photographer (need some help here) and becoming a much better skier (have season pass to Mt hood). Lately I've been in a bit of a running slump and am really into Bikram during the winter months.

Being a loyal. Incredibly loyal. Getting lost literally and metaphorically. My career pursuits.

My blue eyes, my petiteness, my wit, my fun-loving nature and zest for life. That I seem to have endless energy, wear my heart on my sleeve and am a great communicator. And TOTALLY humble ;)

My favorite book is The Road by Cormac Mcarthy. I read a lot so it's hard to pick just one, but I do enjoy post apocalyptic movies and books. Little Bee and The Girl Who Fell From The Sky were really great reads too.

I LOVE, LOVE Breaking Bad. Anything with Ryan Gosling as cheesy as that is, it's the damn truth! Movies-No one ever wants to watch horror, but I love it! It's that one emotion we don't feel very often and it's exciting to go there! I love food. All food. But my body likes paleo best.

Ahhhhh, music. All of it is quite good. I can't stomach much country though.

Exercise, water, good food, purpose, good relationships with others and my dog.

Change. What I want to change. How to make the world a better place. What I want to cook next. Who I want to be when I grow up. What my crazy/normal rating is for the day.

Either totally relaxing at home drinking wine with a red box or hanging with a neighbor or out and about with good friends. I love a good soak at the Kennedy School, a new restaurant venture, catching a show, playing hide n seek in a park, anything goes for this girl!

Oh, no way!

You have a sarcastic sense of humor, must love the outdoors, have confidence but are not arrogant, able to access a large vocabulary, are emotionally available and mature and have a good heart. Please don't message me if you are in your 50's, unemployed or overweight--I'm sure you're a lovely person but I'm not interested.
