I feel this needs to be said. I am close with my family and they are very important to me.

I am an honest, caring, fun-loving woman. I'd like to find someone who is kind, loving, intelligent, caring and likes to have fun. You are comfortable at home for the evening or out to dinner just the two of us or with friends. You must like movies, museums, day trips and longer trips. A good sense of humor is necessary to get through this thing we call life.

I believe a relationship has to have open communication. I believe that your partner should be just that a partner and a best friend. He should be with you through your ups and downs. You should be with him through his ups and downs.

I am definitely a true romantic and I hope I can find someone who is too. It's those little things that mean a lot. A post-it on the mirror, a card for no reason, flowers just because, a text to check-in, etc.

I like sunsets and the waves at the beach. I like holding hands. I like to be treated like a lady.

Teaching, learning, trying to find that balance between work, home and leisure.

My children are important to me and live with me about half the time.

Sometimes I still wonder what I want to be when I grow up. That's kind of a joke, but I sometimes wish I could write for a living. I wish I could take my writing that I don't so often enough and do something with it. It's mostly my take on things. I also write poetry when I get the right motivation. It's not the rhyming kind. I wish, but unless it's Dr. Seussian and silly, my rhyming is nonexistent.

Writing as mentioned above. Talking to people. I can easily strike up a conversation with a stranger and oddly the person usually responds. I've been told that I get along with just about everyone. This is coming from a former shy person. Being a single mom has forced me out of my comfort zone. Of course if I could find someone on here and it actually works out, I wouldn't be single anymore and that would be pretty awesome.

I'm good at making jokes about things on the spot. People also notice my kindness and caring towards others. I am a really good listener, too. I have green eyes which are one of my best features.

It is hard to narrow it down to six.
iPhone, books, the basics of life (food, clothing, shelter), my kids, my car, great friends and the Internet. I think that's more than six. Oh well.

Why this question is here? How many times I'll edit this profile? If it's global warming, why has this spring been so cold in the mornings? How I can stop having such a long commute. If I'll ever finish the book I'm currently reading.

Thinking about what fun things I can do with my weekend. Watching a movie from Redbox or OnDemand. Chilling with friends or family.

I put barbecue sauce on vegetables.

The other private stuff is for when we get to know each other better.

You like my profile and would like to know more about me. You aren't into games. You like to have fun and are interested in meeting me and seeing where it goes.

If you are intrigued and want to know more about me.
