I am very friendly, warm, considerate. My friends would describe me, I mean they do describe me, as calm and caring. I work hard, and play softly. I love going out, could be, getting dressed up, or could be ultra casual. I also like just hanging around at home, listening to music or curling up with a good book, or watching movies, or making jewelry while watching movies...Like many women, I love to shop, (but this would not be a requirement in a partner)for myself or others, however I am very prudent and always get a good deal. I tend to like people, in all of their splendid variety. I am, I suppose, low maintenance, not spending tons of money on dry cleaning, manicures, pedicures, facials etc., I prefer to do such things for myself. I have a keen sense of humour and love to laugh, yet I also have a serious side, and like to discuss philosphy, spirituality, ancient history, archaology, and I like to hear what matters to people, and try to figure out what makes them tick. I am not bad looking, but neither am I a highly glamorous model type. I've been told I look quite a bit younger than I am. I watch what I eat, but hey, not going to stop doing that- eating, I mean. I am tight with my family and my teenage daughter means a lot to me. She lives with her Dad. I like kids, but I am not planning on having any more myself, although if I meet someone who has them, I would be very accomodating about that. No photo yet, but I'm working on it.
