RANDOM FACTS:
- SELF-EMPLOYED LANDLORD & GRAPHIC ARTIST. Work from home, make my own hours. I plan to build my own house.
- If you want a vapid, perky girly-girl who's subservient, passive, will always agree with you, not challenge you in any way, mindlessly caters to your every need & will be an enabler to your bad behavior - look elsewhere. However, if you want a shrewd, witty tomboy you can converse with on a variety of topics, who'll challenge you, who's feisty & independent, who'll call you out on your BS & not be a doormat, then keep reading.
- I'M THE "COOL CHICK" who likes to hang w/the guys. But don't worry - none of the guys get to take me home.
- I'M FRUGAL. I eschew jewelry & designer labels & my shoe collection is mostly sneakers. I'll take blue jeans, nachos & a Pats game over black tie affair, so I'm quite comfortable in a "man cave!" But I can “class it up” & hold my own when needed.
- POSSESSIONS & MONEY DON'T IMPRESS ME - I look at ACTIONS - THAT'S where the truth lies. That's what reveals true character. Possessions can’t compensate for bad behavior. Rich or poor, a jerk's still a jerk.
- LOVE 80’s ROCK: Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Journey, Foreigner, REO, Pat Benatar, Heart, Bryan Adams, ZZTop, Eagles, 38 Special, Van Halen, AC/DC, Joan Jett & more. Ironically I've never lived the "rocker lifestyle" - always been smoke-drug-alcohol free. Good thing, otherwise I'd look like Keith Richards by now!
- SOME FAV THINGS: music, massages, reading, writing, organic & "green" products, exercising, sports cars, real estate, photography, football, Macs, Trader Joes, Whole Foods, HGTV & Howard Stern!
- I'M A "DOMESTIC DIVA" - good at making a house a home. I'm Italian, raised on big family dinners.
- I'M VERY REAL, RAW, HONEST & "ANTI BS" - no games here. With me, what you see is what you get.
- Watching my dad deteriorate over the past 12 years from 2 strokes has been the hardest, most life-changing thing I’ve ever endured.
- I TEND TO BE CONTROLLING, but it’s a necessity in my life since I'm caring for my parents. Plus being self-employed, I’m used to being in control & not answering to anyone. Also, a lifetime of being single means I've never had to "share the cockpit" w/anyone else, so that'll be a learning curve for me. But the right man will be my "co-pilot" as we navigate thru this crazy life together.
- I HAVE A WACKY SENSE OF HUMOR & a fun-loving, goofy, mischievous side, but it's been stifled since I've been managing very serious issues - overseeing my father's care following his debilitating stroke, managing the family's real estate, handling legal issues, etc. Always putting out fires.
- I'M A HOMEBODY. Hate the bar/club scene, no quality people there. Why waste my time w/drunken idiots?
- I'M SELECTIVE WITH WHOM I ALLOW IN MY LIFE. I value quality over quantity.
- It’s easy to sail thru good times, it’s how you handle adversity that defines & tests you. Many relationships crumble in the face of adversity, but I want to build a foundation that can withstand anything.
- I need a true, deep, intense connection on all 3 levels; mental, emotional & physical.
- MY IDEAL MAN IS: confident, but not arrogant. Intelligent but not a "know it all." Works hard, but puts family first. He knows intangibles matter most in life. He knows right from wrong & lives by an inner code of morals/values that guide his decisions. He's aware of the fragility & brevity of life & uses his time wisely. He understands the impact of his actions & knows that everything he does directly affects those closest to him. Lives a balanced life, free of drama. He's never smoked, drugged, abused alcohol, or otherwise harmed himself. Free of piercings, STD's & tattoos. He's sweet, kind, thoughtful & compassionate, but not a pushover. Sharp witted, playful & goofy. He still believes in courtship, chivalry & romance. He's my best friend
