At the risk of losing humility, the best I can do is tell you what I strive to be...
Honest, compassionate, trusting, loving, forgiving, and kind.
I am a patient listener and understanding.
I strive to see the positives in everyone and hate to waste even one moment with those I love.
Im old-fashioned and like to be treated with gentleness, respect, and love. I believe that chivalry is not dead and, somewhere out there, there is at least one man who believes the same.
I am relaxed, calm, and cant stand chaos.
I am romantic to the core and have misplaced that aspect of myself for far too long.
However, I also have a goofy, sarcastic streak and appreciate british dry humor.

I am a Sportscard Identification Specialist for an online sportscard and memorabilia consignment company in Redmond.

Holding a good conversation. Caring for those in need. Laughing at nothing at all and taking life easy.

My smile and my laugh. I've been told that both are constant and infectious.

Books - Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, anything by Frederick Buechner, and the Secret Garden by Francis Hodgson Burnett. I'm currently reading Beauty Will Save the World by Gregory Wolffe.

Movies - Anything Tom Hanks (he is a genius), All Baseball movies...when the old baseball players walk out of the corn field - best scene in cinema! In general, I live comedy, romance, horror, some drama and some action.

TV - Gray's Anatomy, Bones, Conan, CSI NY, Big Bang Theory, Portlandia and anything on the BBC.

Music - Mumford & Sons, Imagine Dragons, Elton John, Billy Joel, Most Alternative, 70's, 80's, and 90's. Just bought the new Muse, Fun., Imagine Dragons, Killers, and Maclemore and they are on constant rotation in my car.

Food - Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Greek, Sushi, Thai, Irish. My favorite right now is General Tsao's Chicken. My favorite restaurant is Salty's on Alki. I'm currently obsessed with siracha and put it on almost anything. I love desert of all kinds.

Drink - I like to enjoy a drink, I dont like to get wasted. I appreciate a good rum, scotch or wine. However, like Miles on Sideways..."I'm not drinking and f*king merlot." :-)

1. The love of my children,
2. The security of my phone,
3. The sanctity of the Bible,
4. The beauty of music,
5. The grandeur of baseball,
6. The indulgency of romance.

How to improve myself, how to find true happiness, how to be the best mother possible, why wont the Mariners get any hitters, and books that I will eventually write.

One of three things...
1. taking my kids out to dinner
2. relaxing at home and watching a movie or trying to keep up with my DVR recordings
3. hanging out with friends

I havent really found a limit. I try to be an open book. So, ask and we will see if there is something I won't admit.

You feel like we might be a good match and want to know more. You would like to begin a friendship that may turn into something more. You are looking for more than a one-night stand.
