Most people look at the outside package and take me to be the self-centered, snobby kind. That couldn't be further from the truth. I have learned through the years to put up a tough front and people will say that at first I'm a bit unapproachable. But once you're in, I'm a real softie with a gooey-centered heart. My friends describe me as an extremely down-to-earth person with whom you know where you stand. I am very outspoken and opinionated. I'm not the most articulate and sometimes, I struggle with the right words to say at the right time. I am quick-tempered and sometimes the wrong words fly out of my mouth for which I am immediately sorry. I am a loyal friend and lover. A hopeless romantic that still believes in the quintessential happy ending. I'll fight for what I believe in. Although I appear confident I can be a little naive and not so sure of myself at times. It's only those that venture in close enough that get a glimpse of the vulnerable little girl that used to sit on daddy's lap.Nothing is more precious than family. My greatest dream in life is to be in the right relationship and to love and nurture my family. Family is there when no one else is. They know you best. They know your hopes and dreams. They know your faults, but still unselfishly and unconditionally love and support you.I value honesty and integrity and loathe liars. All lies come out in the end and profit no one. I am a person who has always seen things in black and white. There is no gray for me. Say what you mean and mean what you say. I HATE reading between the lines! If you want me to be honest with you, be honest with me. Put all your cards on the table. If you can't do that first, then let's do it at the same time. At least there will be no gray and/or misunderstanding. I've always been the forgiving kind and try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, this trait has left my heart wide open for hurt. What can I say? I'm a sucker. I believe in second chances. Everyone deserves an opportunity to get it right.
I love cool, fall weather and riding with the sunroof open, black leather, sunshine on my face, a fire in the fireplace, weekend mornings, snuggling under the covers, flirting, friendly competition with a man, Christmastime, the smell of turkey on Thanksgiving morning, dark chocolate, red roses, my family, singing, driving fast, weight training (bodybuilding), walking through the woods, snow, mountains, the beach, loose teas (served hot), California merlot, zinfandel and cabernets (any red from Alexander Valley is primo.) I also enjoy a good shiraz or malbec. Sushi, roasted and chocolate covered almonds, Perrier, Thai food, and breakfast out. I work as a server administrator for an energy company. My work can sometimes be very challenging, so my daily time at the gym is very therapeudic.
