I am on this site as we all know finding someone can be quite difficult. This certainly gives a starting point of similar interests, goals, hobbies and view point. And the obvious, first attraction.
I am not interested in serial dating, its not fun. I would like to meet someone that coversation is easy, laughter comes often and openness feels comfortable. I still have hope in love and romance. I want that something special. I believe in finding my best friend who is also my lover. Looking to start something meaningful.

A little about me...

The kitchen is where I spend most of my time when home. Cooking soothes and inspires me; it's great for my multi tasking skills and my slightly ADD tendencies ;) trust that I do not have ADD, just get bored quick and I have tons of energy!! I love nothing more than taking a bite of some creation and saying...damn that's amazing!!! Delicious but healthy is my approach.

I am very fit and staying active is important to me. Currently doing crossfit and yoga. Enjoy hikes, swimming...anything fun and challenging I am definitely willing to try.

I'm pretty down to earth, I have my quirks and I love them, little sassy and strong. I would certainly say I have a big personality, 'peppy but in a good way' was a recent description someone used for me. If shy is what you are looking for, I am not her.

My mother taught me 'the world does not revolve around you' so with that, I am always on time, try to be aware of things and people around me, courteous and considerate. I always say good morning to the usual suspects on the travels to work with a smile, it makes a difference.
I get testy...I do live in NY...unaware and ignorant people drive me mad!!

I want to laugh...a lot, smile...a lot....surround myself with creative, energetic people who bring out the best in me and vice versa.

I am a graphic artist for an interior design company, which allows me to draw or be creative on a daily basis.

Would really like to travel more. State side and abroad.

Dancing cooking laughing and remembering everything you forget

My smile and that I look much younger than my age.

Books: Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite of all time. I've read Sedaris, the classics, short novels. Tend to relish in the unusual and odd books; one that comes to mind is Slice of Lemon Cake...quirky and fabulous!
I read a variety of books and genres so always have something different in the bag or loaded on the kindle. Open to suggestions!

Shows: True Blood, Spartacus, Food Network, Master Chef, So you Think You Can Dance, Family Guy...been downloading episodes; Homeland, Breaking Bad, next on the list is Shameless. Don't have cable and don't miss it, most TV is terrible.

Big movie person. The unpredictable and original movies are on the top of the list although these are hard to come by these days.
Lord of the Rings I could watch at any time.
Like Water for Chocolate
Almost any Pixar movie, I realize this is cheesy but they make me smile.

Music: ecletic mix...hip hop, dance, blues, just don't like heavy metal.

Florence and the Machine, Joss Stone, John Legend, Duffy, Dawes, The National, Lumineers, Otis Redding, Nina Simone, The Roots.
I think it all depends on the mood. There's music for cooking on a Sunday afternoon with a class of red wine and then there's music for going out.

Food: Seafood is by far my favorite to eat My best dish to cook, is Eggplant Parm, everyone always asks for it. Although I really make a wide variety of cuisine all healthy renditions.

Artists: Dali, Frida Kahlo, Francis Bacon, to name a few

coffee
beach
physical actiivity
friends and family

Hmmm...the sixth...tbd

Recipes and what next activity I am going to do.

All depends on my week, but usually very chill. Few glasses of wine with friends or staying in cooking and watching a movie.

I actually slipped and fell on a banana peel....yes I am that girl and can laugh about it.

An active healthy lifestyle is important to you. Laid back, as in doesn't stress out about the little things. Honest, energetic, fun and absolutely drama free...foodie or a love of cooking is a plus.

If strong, independent women are sexy and not intimidating.

I have a lot of interests and looking for someone to share them with.
