About Me

i'm a happy, friendly, outgoing, slightly off-kilter single mom of an amazing little girl (4 going on 16)...i love the colors blue and orange, hanging with my friends/family, taking my daughter to the park, reading a good book, and watching the sunset on the water...i am something of a night owl, though i think that working second shift for--uhm 10 years, might have something to do with that...i am not much for capital letters unless i am doing something for work or school, i find them a waste of time...i love to learn and find myself constantly finding new areas of interest...i love to decorate...i enjoy doing things for people who are special to me...i believe in second chances and the true love is out there somewhere, but i'm not sure i believe in soulmates, because what happens if you find that person and they are married to someone else?? or you find each other and one of you dies?? or you never even have the chance to meet?? the theory of soulmates leaves so many closed doors in the field of love and relationships...none of this has any bias on having been married and divorced in quick fashion, simply that life is a constant journey towards improvement and happiness...i was an army brat and now i'm raising an army brat so i have nothing but complete respect for our service members and thier families...i don't believe in the emotion "hate" there are too many people who walk around lost in their world of vengence and hate--i don't have time for that, my energy is focused on loving my daughter, family, and friends...i know there are people out there who hate me for whatever reason and that is their choice to waste precious minutes of happiness on hating me when i don't give a second thought to them...i don't regret any of the choices i've made or the things i've done...they were exactly what i wanted at some point or another...i've learned from my mistakes, and moved on with my life...and i'm a better person for all the valleys i've had to climb out of and all the mountains i've had to forge, but most importantly, i'm a better person for having opened my heart to Christ and accepting that i can't do it without help...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:
