My best features are my eyes - I get a lot of compliments on them. I'm pretty traditional, I don't work-I'm a stay at home mom, I'm currently taking care of my parents while I'm single but I also volunteer at my son's school-and I love it! I am also an honest, gentle, kind yet strong and independant woman who knows what she wants in life. People tend to smile around me for some reason - haven't figured that one out yet. I am very forgiving, I figure if I'm not perfect, how can I expect everyone else to be perfect, right? What else can I say? I lived in the Bay Area until 2003 and then moved to the Tucson, Az area. I'm single again and very happy, though I'd love to be married again and grow old with the person I love....I know - pretty corny! I'm looking for honesty, kindness, humility, humor, forgiveness and a gentleman to date and see where it goes from there. I believe the keys to a lasting relationship are communication, friendship, enjoying time together, yet allowing each other some independence! I think these things just reinforce the trust between a couple. I also believe a happy couple can enjoy quiet time together without becoming worried something is wrong. All of these things and more just build the strength of a lasting relationship! I've always pictured having a porch with 2 rocking chairs on it for my love and I to enjoy and grow old on. Two traits I have make me a bit unique. The first is that I begin my day with a Dr. Pepper (not a coffee fan) and the other is my sense of humor, it can be corny and crazy or even a bit raunchy. Having a sense of humor is so important to me! My daughter is 21 & married. She just had a baby in September! I have an 8 1/2 year old son who lives with me part time, so...........you gotta love, or at least really like kids! So, I am looking for my very best friend, a fun man, a trustworthy man, and a long-lasting relationship. Are you out there? One last thing, I have to say I am not perfect, I have about 15 pounds to lose and am trying. So if you are looking for the perfect little figure that isn't me.
