I am a laid-back and pragmatic woman who enjoys living life as fully as I know how. I am always pursuing new ways to expand what "living fully" really means for me. I try not to take things or myself too seriously. I am passionate yet respectful of others' passion and needs. I make software by day and enjoy my gadgets whenever possible. I also value time spent away from gadgets in "detached" mode and being engaged with the people I love and enjoy. I really don't like using the word "I" too much but it seems unavoidable in this context.

I am looking for someone who values people more than things. I like a person with a sense of humor as I feel I have a pretty good one myself. I am interested in someone who really knows how to listen and communicates to me in a way that I can listen as well.

I'm raising a daughter and employed full-time as a software developer.

Being a friend, communicating, organizing, parenting, writing code, helping others.

No clue, you tell me.

I like books like Good To Great, and books like Blink and Outliers. I like all sorts of music such as jazz, r&b, classical, blues, rock. My favorite artist of all time is Prince. Lately I'm listening to TV On The Radio, Esperanza Spalding, and Beyonce.

1. Friends/Family
2. Music, especially live music
3. Dessert
4. Steady income
5. Air conditioning
6. Cute shoes

A lot

Catching up on work, doing something fun with my daughter, or hanging out with friends.

Ummm, ask great questions and you'll find out.

...You feel like it and you can start the conversation the same way you would if we were meeting in person. Meaning.... gentleman-like and respectfully. A girl does still like to be wooed in the 21st century ;)
