Watching the sunset or the waves crash on the beach, hanging out in the mountains, or just living life is what makes me happy to be alive. I love experiencing life and everywhere it takes me. I am looking for someone that feels the same; someone who loves to travel and experience new things. Whether it's going to a different country or maybe just down the road, likes a cold beer on a hot day or a nice bottle of wine with a long dinner.

For my age, I've lived a pretty interesting life so far. I have had several different careers that have led me to where I am in life spiritually. I have set long term and short term goals for myself, but I don't want to get into details here. It always seems little self-obsessed to write these summaries.

I work out 3 or 4 times a week and I eat pretty healthy. That doesn't mean I expect anyone else around me to do the same. I tried to be a vegetarian once and I found out I missed meat too much!

I like to be giving in my relationships and do little things 'just because'; reciprocity is ideal! I have so many interests and I am always looking to build on them.

I’m interested in some casual dating with the potential for something more. I'm looking for a sweet guy that makes me laugh and shares my interests. I would like someone to teach me new things. For instance, I've never gone skiing! I'm itching to go rock climbing soon.

I own a Personal Chef business, which I am continuing to build. I volunteer teach at a learning center once a month. My permanent job is a Personal Chef/Nanny for 4 families in Genesee. Also I'm writing a children's book. It sounds like alot, but I actually have quite a flexible schedule.

I think volunteer work is important, so I dedicate some of my time to the Colorado Pug Rescue. I help out whenever I'm needed.

Playing video games, being a good friend and listener, cooking and anything that allows me to be creative. I've been known to remember quotes from movies and apply them to random situations. But I don't do it all the time like an idiot.
Also I'm good at fixing things on my computer.

My inquisitiveness.

The Sookie Stackhouse series are my favorite books. I have recently read "Emotional Intelligence" and "Beginner Writer's Answer Book." As far as movies go, it's hard to choose because there are alot. "Zach and Miri" was awesome! People are always surprised that I liked that movie (because I'm a girl?) I'm a big fan of Kevin Smith movies. That man is a genius. Jazz, rock, pop, just about any kind of music. Greek is my favorite type of food. Also I love sushi, Italian, and French. I'll try anything once.

Food, water, shelter, oxygen, a good book, and a pocket knife.

The book that I'm working on. Also the meaning of life. Sometimes I am full of rage at the news reporting about stupid things like American Idol. Because that's not news!!! I think about alot of different things.

Usually I go out with friends for drinks. I don't have any typical Friday nights. Whatever comes up. Sometimes I work late Friday nights.

I have a birthmark that looks like a chicken. You might be surprised as to where!

If you are well versed in life’s lessons, slow to judge, quick to comfort, converses with candor and ease, intolerant of stupidity and the like, and/or somewhat of a geek then we would likely make a good match! Someone who gets my sense of humor is also very important to me. I think it is great to have varied interests as well as shared interests. Personal space is necessary to me. I can't handle clingyness since I am fairly independent. I am a very busy lady, but I always make time for the people I care about.
Please don't contact me if you don't like kids since kids are a big part of what I do every day.
