I like to laugh and make others laugh.

I'm also good-hearted (including towards strangers), out-going, witty, honest, trustworthy (meaning I don't cheat!) down-to-earth, talkative, energetic/animated, often forgetful and can never pass by a baby/puppy without stopping to play. :)

I am very happy with who I am (aside from wanting to be in better shape), and I'm looking for someone with the same qualities (well, except the forgetful part - I need YOU to help ME remember where I parked my car....lol)

New to Colorado, still trying to get it all in. Love the outdoors! Moved my son and I here this past summer (2012) to get away from the heat and humidity of Louisiana! Couldn't enjoy being outside in the south! :(

I'm taking a year off from teaching while working on my Master's in Education to become a Reading Specialist. Don't need to work, but if a dreamjob comes along, I'll take it. :)

making people laugh, talking to strangers, teaching, counting to 100 (even higher, but I didn't want to brag)....there's so much more, but I'd hate to ruin the surprise! ;)

My smile....I'm either always laughing or just simply happy :)

Books: not a reader, there's just never any time PLUS I am a bit ADHD so I'll start one, then move to something else, and never go back to finish. If I WERE to read, it would be more along the lines of wizardry and magical things. Like the Spiderwick Chronicles series, Bridge to Terebithia, Chronicles of Narnia, Percy and the Olympians series (these are middle school level books...being a teacher, I read lots of the books the kids are reading so I can use things that they are familiar with in the classroom :)

TV Shows: Once Upon a Time, An Idiot Abroad, Frasier, Old/New Christine, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Fringe, The Middle, King of Queens, Desperate Housewives (what girl DOESN'T??), CSI, How Its Made, Strongest Man competitions and American Ninja competitions, remodeling/makeovers (house/yard...NOT clothes/hair), Tabitha Takes Over, Restaurant Impossible, Hell's Kitchen, Kung Fu Panda and Phineas and Ferb (hey, I have a 7 year old who watches these and I gotta admit...these shows are FUNNY!!!)

Movies: I like a little bit of everything except sci fi. Most horror movies are ok (Silence of the Lambs) as long as it's not just about the killing (Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Friday the 13th).... I mostly go for comedy, but I also like a good drama with an unexpected twist at the end. Not much into the Chick Flicks, I think love stories are overrated and full of lies...lol

Music: Mostly Top 40, Indies Pop/Alternative Rock, but also 70s and 80s music.

Food: MEXICAN!!!!! lol.....especially when accompanied by a margarita or sangria ;) but I also like German, Greek/Lebanese and Chinese. Nothing spicy!

water....i drink it constantly....well, except while I'm sleeping....lol

chapstick...never leave home without it!

my children (shouldn't I have put them FIRST on this list?? lol)

air (I know, YOU too, right? lol)

food is nice thing...

oh, and my cell phone :)

Ok, really, here's the list without the OBVIOUS must-haves that EVERYONE needs:

1) serious about the chapstickl...total MUST HAVE! I honestly think I'll die if I get dry lips :/

2) music (ESPECIALLY when house cleaning/in the car/shower)

3) makeup (I think I'm ugly without it)

4) cappuccino in the morning (it's my treat to start my day)

5) my cellphone (love texting)

6) water...I always have a bottle with me :)

Who can I get to wash these damn dishes?

Hanging at home...Friday nights are my only DOWN time, so I take it easy, usually watching TV or just hanging with my son. :)

I have to sleep with the hallway light on cuz I am afraid of the PITCH BLACK DARKNESS (yeah, one too many scary movies....lol)

you AREN'T any of the following: drug user (this includes marijuana), easy to anger, insecure/jealous, unhappy about everything in your life, jobless, live with your parents/family member, chew tobacco, spend your weekends/evenings on the couch watching ESPN, an introvert, no sense of humor
