To all my friends, thank you for your encouragement, and support throughout this difficult year...Your friendship has been, and IS invaluable... To you gals (and gurlies) that I think of as my sisters...I love ya'll...and ya know it! I like home cooked meals, as well as a night on the town, I can dress "up", or "down". I like a man that can make decisions and plan ahead instead of getting ready to go and saying, "so what are we doing"... Although spontaniety can be fun too. BeCONSIDERATE, yet a take charge kind of guy. I have a great sense of humor and l ove to laugh and have fun. I have children, so my free time is limited; but whatever I give you, is yours alone... (meaning, that if I take the time to have a conversation, or send an e-mail or chat with you, (which takes time from my children,) to spend time with YOU, the Value of my time should be appreciated)... I am a southern girl through and through. I am a lady, and I expect to be treated like a lady. If this needs further explanation, do not respond... (this means, do not yell at me, or throw insults, or make derogatory statements to or about me...) RESPECT is a must, and it will be given back ten fold... I have BIG heart and a lot of trust to give, so do not take advantage of me... also: this means, opening doors...yes, I am serious...and not just on dates, but all the time, it should not be an afterthought, but something done naturally...all elders should be addressed as maam and sir, and my children do the same... ...no exceptions... (if you do not understand this concept, please do not e-mail me...I have 4 children, I do not need more...) I am a Southern Baptist, I participate in all church activities, as well as work in the office where I attend...Religion is not necessarily what I am concerned about, but the condition of your heart...IF you do not believe in God and Jesus and that HE died for us, then do not respond, no relationship is possible...Friendship, Always...but I want/need a partner to compliment my ms and beliefs and to be supportive and to be by my side...This does not mean I can't or do not like to have fun...I do... Just to clarify what you see is not always what you get... Here is a pretty accurate description of me and what I look like... should save us all some time and explanation later... and remember, I am a work in progress... not perfection, and certainly not pretentious.. .I am not a player, I do not play games, I am not a fake... My pictures are all real, and They are me... Guys get rid of the image you see my profile is just a picture you see You must understand that the camera loves me but a supermodel, is not me I've been told I'm a beauty, but I don't see it not supposed to, I agree I am not superficial normal and down to earth honest to a fault and this is to many a dismay My eyes are a blue, deep as the ocean change colors with my emotion as pion flies high, ligheter and free in anger, darker and grey like the skies in a tornado they'll tear you apart My height is a feature many do like 5'11" or 10 1/2...depending if you like the tall type...I can play ball with the guys or be fragile like a girl My chest, what can I say, above average and a load to carry 40 DDD and yes they are real my waist is unheard of, havent seen it in a while... had 4 kids and dont really care (about my waistline) been told I'm thick, what in the world? smaller than my bust, so it'll do guys stop droolin, I'm not done yet, my butt is not large, and will fit in your hands small enough, but round, not flat panties are size 7 or 8 depending if you like em tight now pants and dresses are another story, seems panties are stretchy but not jeans and others... I wear a 16 and working on it would like to be a 9 or 12 just give me time, and you'll see I really can be a knockout, dont give up on me legs long and a lil over weight, inseam is 34, and long strides I take shoes are a size 9 or ten, again depends if its boots or tennies I'm in decent shape, take me or leave me I'm at the gym Mon, Wed. and Friday... All the rest, does it matter Have a heart true and am blessed with what God gave me... I love me and that's what matters I'll take care of my body it's the only one I have....
