I am witty, creative, and exuberant.
My Self-Summary
i'm easy going, witty, fun to be with and to do things with. i
'play well with others', am somewhat intelligent, love to tease and
be teased, and like to be silly sometimes. i'm always
compassionate, caring, a very good cook, imaginative, whimsical,
creative, spontaneous and accepting of most people just as they
are.
i'm also optimistic, somewhat naive, a born again virgin, aspiring
southern belle, devil's advocate, and a bit of a klutz. i am too
short (5'3), too 'hippy'(don't ask!), can't sing - although i do
anyway, brave when i need to be, and am equal parts introvert and
extrovert. i am the mother of two grown 'children', grandmother of
two growing grandchildren, and ex-wife of one almost grown-up
man.
i'm a 'literary slut', majored in theatre arts/english in college,
am more liberal than conservative, a lover not a fighter, and
probably too loquacious for my own good!
What I’m doing with my life
i retired last year and love having the time to do whatever i want.
not having a schedule is a luxury i haven't experienced before. i
recently moved from a large house to a small one and i'm enjoying
the 'nesting' process. allowing myself unlimited reading time
without guilt is a lovely pleasure. exploring small shops, local
restaurants, and historical sites is wonderful.
i'm an active, involved grandmother of two. i am currently
exploring where i can help most by volunteering.
I’m really good at
listening, laughing, compromising, kissing, empathising, having
fun, making others laugh, expressing myself, drying tears, lending
a shoulder, giving a back-rub, accepting people for who they are,
being tolerant, playing fair, keeping secrets, being diplomatic,
getting along with just about everyone.
The first things people usually notice about me
my eyes, my smile, sometimes my laugh/giggle.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
i really like too many books to have a favorite. i love most
movies, dramas and comedies, musicals are ok, westerns are great,
action movies so-so, like foreign films very much.
love classical music, jazz, old-time rock n roll, broadway
musicals, some rhythm and blues, and i hate to admit this -
but....i also like 'easy listening' music. (maybe that could be our
little secret??)
my very favorite food in the whole world is mashed potatoes. i like
almost all ethnic food, although chinese is my least favorite. i
love french, italian, japanese, seafood, continental. i love
cooking and took many gourmet cooking classes while i lived in
california. i enjoy wine (mostly white) - trying new wines and
finding the right wine to pair with something i'm cooking.
i enjoy desserts, rich coffee, and good scotch. dark chocolate will
cure just about anything that ails me!
The six things I could never do without
family
friends
health
laughter, love
giving and receiving affection
books
kissing and hugs (counts as just one because they can be done
together - even at the same time if desired)
(i know i listed more than 6, but...)
I spend a lot of time thinking about
thousands of things. i think of inventions. write poetry and
stories. remember good memories. heaven (who,what where, when, why,
and how??????),
the past, the present, and of course, the future.
i think about cooling down global warming; what to do if greatness
is suddenly thrust upon me; how i can live richly and avoid regret;
where i left my umbrella/glasses/keys/etc. etc. etc.; how can i
avoid predictability....
i love to allow my mind to do 'free associative' thinking...in
other words, i love just letting my mind wander (flit?) from one
thing to another, wherever it wants to go.
On a typical Friday night I am
making plans for the weekend.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
hmmm....it involved a raincoat, high, high heels, a drive to the
airport to pick-up a 'friend', and an embarrassing 'trip'.
You should message me if
i sound like a woman you'd like to get to know; and,
if you think i'd like to get to know you.
