First, let me say that I don't respond to those without a photo. Fair's fair. I have feeling that the best is yet to be for me, and I'm trying to have the patience to wait and see. I'm looking for someone who shares my curiosity about life and is willing to experience new things, someone who isn't content to stay in the same rut, same chair, same shirt as 25 yrs ago. Some favorite things to do--love fine dining, and Kansas City has a wealth of wonderful restaurants to explore. Of course with dining goes wining, far superior to whining, of which I do not partake nor support. I love to cook, especially for someone special. You bring the flowers. Gardening is also high on my list of interests; I like to try to make the backyard my green haven. Mycat makes me smile, but I'm not a crazy cat lady, I only have one... Music has always been a big part of my life, especially singing. For those who believe in astrology, I'm a typical Sagittarius, independent, loyal, blunt, pragmatic, and a lot of fun. I'm not into drama, I don't BS, and don't care for those who do. I have a sometimes dry wit, and like to find the humor in most situations. Please, no smokers--allergic. I work part time teaching English to foreign corporate executives, and I volunteer locally to teach English as a second language to adults at the library. I've learned a lot about other countries! PS: I've had to add this--I only want to have a relationship with someone in my immediate metropolitan area of Kansas City. Long distance relationships do not work for me. If you're 50, 500 or 2000 miles away, don't waste your time, unless you are going to be moving here anyway.
