I'm 39 and single. I have a cat that I love even though he's a terror most of the time. I work hard and have a close circle of friends. I tend to be shy when you first meet me, although my friends will tell you that I never shut up. I am a full figured girl, so if you like a skinny minnie, look somewhere else. I love going out to dinner and to the movies. I love baseball (i'm a lifelong Indians fan). I spend at least one night a week at a friends house playing pool and poker and having an obnoxiously good time. I also like staying home and reading a good book, watching a dvd, or staring at the tv. I love sitting on the porch watching a storm roll through and I love going for long rides with no particular destination just because. I'm very close to my family even though they live 300 miles away. At last count I have 11 nieces and nephews and am the oldest of 7 children. I'm opinionated and stubborn and love a good debate. I hate to argue or fight. I hate drama and chaos, although there always seems to be plenty of it. I'm looking for the person that will be my companion through the journey of life.
