About Me


I'm not fat, but I do have a fat kitty... I have a very wide interest in lots of things from being an animal lover, into horse manure (oops, stepped in that one), into photography, the music and film industry, loving travel and so much more. I'm an open book always seeking new friends and knowledge. Was born in Austin and have lived there, Houston and Fort Worth. I'm a writer, but my real love is photography which is part time but will eventually do it full time.
Our family recently bought some acreage in Lexington, TX and since I'm the oldest, I agreed to learn how to drive a tractor, use a chipper/shredder, agri-vac for getting horse manure out of the fields, clean out the stock tank, fix up the barn, go to the nearest gas station for diesel for the tractor, get really dirty and sweaty, appreciate nature, fix fences... :)
I'm attracted to people with the same characteristics like me... horses, cats, dogs, good music, good friendship and has a deep feeling for nature, someone that loves animals, and appreciates the depth of the experience of life and has a spiritual connection with a God of your understanding. I like hanging out at the house doing projects, watching a do-it-yourself video, going to Home Depot or Lowes... doing a project together. I love the Hill Country & West Texas, the laid-back accepting feeling, and the magic of the Chisos Mountains, the desert mountainous culture and life. I was born in Austin and still love it, even after living and traveling to outrageously beautiful places. The culture here fits me. I like the warm! I play basketball sometimes in the Texas heat (I drink plenty of water), and sometimes go walking down at Town Lake for 2 or 3 miles. My favorite comics are Rose is Rose, For Better or For Worse, and Calvin & Hobbes. I really don't watch TV, because I'd rather read (anything). I like being in control of my senses. I have six cats and a female German shepherd/golden retriever mix doggie and I want you to know that their unconditional love means so much to me that I would never think of getting rid of them even for a new love in my life.
I'm a constantly changing person, so all of this is not set in stone except where my pets are concerned.

I'd like to meet:

For friends, I'd like to meet someone who has a love for good movies and good books that reveal the immensities of human nature. Someone who can feel good with music, art and the subtleties of life. I would love to travel together, take camping trips, go horseback riding, swimming, snorkeling, walking, hiking, rock-climbing at Enchanted Rock, picnics, hot-springs hopping in the West, go to movies, and experience new things I have never done! I like women who are earthy, yet neat in appearance! Someone who isn't afraid to get dirty, and isn't afraid to dress up, someone who is comfortable in her body. We respect each other's individuality and sometimes each of us does our own thing knowing fully well that our partner loves us and trusts us. We also love the closeness we feel together.

I like good ol' rock'n'roll, new age music, reggae, international music, a little country, The Austin City Limits Music Festival, music venues at Auditoreum Shores, South by Southwest.
