Because I know what's important in life and I'm learning not to sweat the small stuff. I'm an old soul....and young at heart. I'm happiest when working with my hands (digging in the garden or covered in clay working on the potter's wheel) and love to travel and explore new places and people. I'll nurture you and believe in you 'till the end. I'll have your back......you'll have mine. Bonus points if you love Elvis Costello. Love me.....love my dogs.
I like to put on my ipod and sing at the top of my lungs in the bathtub. The darkest possible chocolate may be the key to my heart.
My Ideal Person:
I'm looking for a grown-up who's personal baggage is down to "carry-on" size. A man who wants to bring out the best in me and is ready for me to do the same for him. A working man (possibly in the arts) looking for a working woman who wants to share this adventure we call "life". You have a snappy sense of style & grace. You're trim and fit and take care of your body. You're open, honest, and articulate about your emotions. You listen and don't try to "fix" me. You are curious - ask questions - get to know me. You may run like everyone else when you're scared, but you always come back because you're courageous. You inspire me. You care enough to tell me when I'm wrong, and wise enough to know when to cut me some slack. You're the kind of guy who knows how to woo me, court me, seduce me. You have a wicked and somewhat twisted sense of humor - you can always find the funny. You are kind to waiters and your parents. You are faithful and honest (yes, sorta like a Boy Scout). Be ready for a monogamous relationship. You have your shit together.
I seem to get a lot of men from out of state, out of the country (can you say Abu Dhabi?). I am looking for a man who lives in the Los Angeles area. Not interested in a long-distance relationship.
Please, a "wink" or "flirt" is just another way of saying "collect call". Don't be a pussy! I'm not going to answer 'em, so be brave.....step up.... and send me a nice note.

My most humbling moment
When I see the sunrise/sunset at the Haleakala Crater on
Maui. Trying to learn how to play the cello. Beautiful instrument,
painful experience!!
If I could be anywhere right now
Lewa Downs Farm, Kenya, sipping martinis by the pool while
watching the elephants bed down for the night.
Five items I can't live without
I don't want to qualify my "people" i.e.
friends/family as "items", but here is my world! Friends and
family, Love Freedom and independence, My dogs Juma & Tessa, Great
dinner parties at home with friends, going out to cool restaurants
or a down and dirty batch of my home-made spicy chicken wings! I can cook baby!, Crystal hot sauce
- perfection in a bottle!, My MacBook Pro & the almighty Internet, I need music to FEED me(see the LIST
on Pg. 2 of my profile), and ART! I love Latin artists. I'm a Fridaholic (loooong
before it became cool - is she still cool?!) and love Diego
Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueros. OK, OK, it's more than five....always bucking the
system!
Fill in the blank: _____ is sexy; _____ is sexier.
honesty is sexy; curiosity is sexier!
In my bedroom one will find...
A Queen-size Tempur-pedic Dream Bed, soft sheets, (jeez,
doesn't everybody say this?!) High threadcount,
fresh flowers, big dog beds, and a lot of my pottery. Comfort,
dreams.
