UPDATE: Just noticed my profile didn't save
properly...so here we go again. I'm an easy-going
woman who enjoys the intertwining of male and the
female personalities. So when something's up,
instead of heating up, I would rather stand back
for a minute or two to see where the male
perspective is taking the situation and see if
maybe I can add to the momentum. I'm not the kind
to throw temper tantrums, not high maintenance,
and am the kind of woman nearly any man can feel
at ease around. And you can feel proud to
introduce me to your family.
Please do feel free to turn family pets loose on
me to see if they bark or take an instant liking.
Animals are good judges of character...if your
pets don't like the new person in your life, maybe
there's a reason...
Same idea with kids. I'm the eldest of seven,
mother of three (grandmother of one) and evidently
have an invisible magnet in my lap. Sit me on the
floor in a room full of children, and they're all
over me. Most of my church service has been in the
Primary..the little ones seem to have an innate
ability to pick out people who are
kid-friendly.
Now THE question...don't want to lay TMI (too much
information) on you...I have kept my covenants.
There are rare, limited circumstances in which
divorce is justified. My case is one of them. This
isn't a case of growing apart and failure to
nurture the marriage, each other. I am not a
quitter..unfortunately, sometimes a person has to
admit that the problem their spouse has is NOT
going away, CANNOT be resolved through medication
or counseling, and takes the spouse in a direction
incompatible with marital responsibility and
family life, and the spouse prefers their ahem,
unique lifestyle to that of having a wife and
family.
I'm not quite 5'7" but that's the tallest I
could be, and for you fellas, that's usually
important. Don't know why height is an issue.
Never has been for me, and my former husband
turned out to be a couple of inches shorter than
I, something I didn't notice until he pointed it
out some two or three years into the marriage,
lol. If we're close enough to see eye to eye,
that's good enough, and I can wear flats as
counterpart for your thick-heeled boots.
Yes, I'm a bit on the heavy side but that's coming
down now that I can enjoy the activities I like
without feeling guilty going alone because
"he" refuses to join me. I enjoy being
physically active..dancing, swimming, ice skating,
camping, all the things that the ex refused to do.
And it's not a sloppy looking heavy, just
full-figured.
If you are still reading, take the time to take a
chance on me. Don't take chances with your future,
especially if like me you have a child still at
home...please do ask for and check references for
anyone you meet in the online dating environment.
For instance, I've been in town for 20 years and
am well-known, and there are any number of people
in two stakes and in the community who you can ask
questions. And you are welcome to talk to my
family, to the ex and his family etc and ask them
*Email Blocked* free to talk to my bishop, too.
Please be careful out there and have fun :-)

Enjoy about anything, or will try it :)
These are in no particular order--
Family time:
Panic pick-up the house
Pick-it-quick surprise picnic (whoops, we forgot
the can opener)
Goofing off with our tuba, keyboard, electric
guitar and beating on pots/pans
Cooking/baking together...the 23 year old makes a
mean scratch pie crust, 12 year old likes to fry a
burger now and then.
Ice skate, bike, swim etc
Staged stunt photos that make us look like giants,
dwarves, silly stuff like that
Goofy home videos
Videos of road trips
Photo slide shows of stuff we do together
Dragging out CDs and video of stuff from a few
years back, best of...
Sending text messages back and forth
Reading together
Camp outs and cook outs
And of course, we go to church and the temple
together...handy to have a son who has just turned
age 12 so he can start coming too and help with
baptisms for his own people. Sure did hate leaving
him behind when he was still too young. Church and
the temple, for us is a family thing.
Recreation:
Dance
Ice skate
Bike
Walk/Hike esp with a camera
Camp
Hunt
Shooting
Swim
Dive
Road trips
Hobbies:
Writing
Photography
Politics
Volunteering for veterans
Genealogy research
Temple work
Music:
Anything but rap/gangsta/grunge types.
Movies:
Anything in good taste whether action, western,
comedy, drama, romantic comedy, chick flick,
musicals, family, etc
Books:
Anything in good taste, don't spend much time
reading fiction, but read a lot of U.S. and world
history, biography, gardening, automotive repair
and home improvement, things like that. One of my
favorite books was Freakonomics, a fun romp
through statistics.
Television:
Don't watch it. Really. If there's ever a law
requiring people to name one prime time program on
pain of death, I'm dead.
Games:
Not much for board or card games, would rather be
outside. I do presently enjoy one online game,
Second Life, because it's a fun free social
network where you can dance like Fred Astaire and
Ginger Rogers or John Travolta or Patrick Swayze
or about anyone who is good at it, dress like a
million bucks without spending a dime, build your
dream home, create a stunning garden, ski for a
while then teleport to the beach to windsurf,
skydive on horseback while wearing scuba gear,
travel the world and you aren't expected to kill
something.
