About Me

Single, Curious, Whimsical, Eccentric, Moody, Elusive....always someone's muse, and have found one or two of my own, but something remains a'miss.I'm a "still waters run deep" kind of girl, no wait, maybe more like a "grab bag"...you never know what you're going to get until you delve deeper inside...as with Shrek, I have many layers (don't know Shrek? Well, this comment is wasted on you then, yes?) I am embracing the person I am and trying to find things which compliment me as a person. I consider myself more of a tomboy type girl who found her feminine side. I have highlighted brown hair with bright bluish eyes, which sometimes change colors depending on my mood; slender and trying to stay in shape. I love to laugh and tease. Have a tendency to be ornery, even foul mouthed at times, which isn't necessarily a good thing for some people. I'm quite certain I'm not for everyone, and possibly not even for anyone. I won't lie and say I have it all figured out for what I want, especially when life is ever changing. I do value my own time, my own place...and can respect that in you too. I can be cynical about love, but believe the right person can change that, with time and patience. I have three little girls..that in itself force me to make better choices for myself to set a good example for them. I do enjoy basketball (but I am awful at it!) and playing softball, am a hacker at golf but willing to get better, and enjoy a friendly game of pool. I do wish to meet good people, and do understand that life is a chance and not every friendship or relationship stays. I am curious as a child, love to people watch, and enjoy a day at the beach tossing a football, eating picnic, building a fire, and watching the sun go down. Lame ass comment, but true nonetheless.

My Interests

Gardening; Cooking; BBQ; beach time; playing softball...I finally hit my first triple!; writing/reading poetry; photography; downtown Theatre; small venue concerts; Broadway plays; trips to vegas; dancing; happy hour, afterhours....sleepy Sundays; lazy evenings watching a movie w/popcorn and a whiskey and coke. My children and their passions; seeing life anew through their eyes; sharing in their triumphs and disappointments.

I'd like to meet:

Someone to inspire me....ignite a spark in my mind...play in my whimsy....embrace my eccentric babble... I frustrate more than not, it would be nice to find someone who smiles at me with his eyes, realizing the road with me will be curious and off kilter at times...tangents leading absolutely no where....getting lost in the journey and yet able to help me find my way back home. A friend, a muse, a lover...a true connection.In search of the elusive...chemistry. CHEMISTRY!! Someone who is easy on the eyes...I am very visual. A man who takes good care of himself, but not fanatic about it. He must be equipped with word play, entice me with his mind, creatively so. A great sense of humor is very sexy... I love to laugh...and have my own style of humor a bit off-cuff. I gravitate to men who have a quiet confidence, but also find myself intrigued by the energetic, outwardly passionate. Nice hands, a great mouth, and laughing eyes...a must. Be real about who are are and what you want.

Tossing the flag, or is that the towel...

At what point does one decide it is time to just settle into the calmness of knowing they are no longer athletically inclined? So here is my take on this:  I've been playing co-ed softball for tw...
