Follow your heart, your dreams, for they are the guide to your path in life...

About Me

Just a fun lovin' gal (well some can say differently, but to each their own) who loves her family and friends very dearly. Dedicated and fiercely loyal to all that is close to me; I can be very opinionated and strong minded but yet, at the same time, I have a very big heart and I'm very sensitive, not only to my needs, wants and feelings but also to others around me. Although I can be opinionated, I am not judgemental. There are far too many people out there who judge, yet they never see themselves as being "imperfect" as well. No one is perfect and no one should ever judge another human being, no matter how good or bad. That's just my take on the whole thing. :) I'm the type who feels life is too short to not take advantage of the opportunities one has - live life to the fullest, make every second count, yet be confident and sure the decisions made are ones you will not regret later on down the road. I am very open minded to anything and everything. I love to wine and dine and entertain. I've developed an affection (ok maybe an obession... :))for fine wine and champagne. Don't be scared to approach me... I know I can appear prissy, conceited and stuck up, but give me a chance... you'll be surprised. :)

And yes, I still do like to go out and party it up every now and then... it's not as extreme as it used to be but hey, I'm older and wiser now. Once you hit the ripe ol' age of 30, your perspective on life changes a bit- and going out isn't as important or fun like it was before. What's important now, you say? My family and a future (retirement) w/ lots and lots of money hehe.

My Interests

Reading, writing, music, poetry that grabs my heart and my mind, any and all outdoor activities, shopping, manis/pedis, facials, massages, anything that is relaxing, eating, cooking, coffee, spending quality time w/ my boy & lil girl, having drinks w/ friends when I can, especially on Fridays - Happy Hour time!! Oh and cooking - did I mention that already??And I LOVE Mojitos!!! It's my all time fav drink!

I'd like to meet:

Interesting, Silly, Fun-loving people who can and want to enjoy life to the fullest. Ones who can accept people for WHO they are and not WHAT they are... Someone like my baby Dave - Now he's "My Favorite Mistake" ;o) Also, someone who is on a quest (like me) to find a good quality bottle of wine and/or champagne for under $20... I don't mean just any bottle either - it has to be something rare, something soo good that when you take the first sip, you're in heaven... a hidden gem. :) Yes, someone who can appreciate a good bottle of wine/champagne w/ some good chocolate (Imported) -- mmmmm, now that's heaven. (Yes Dave, my love...you are Heaven too)
