For me, a first date no-no is:

It's more of a must be; he must be a gentleman.

What I would bring to show and tell:

I am a smart, sexy woman who is very kind hearted.

A story you should remind me to tell you on our first date:

Of what winter is really like in Minnesota. ;)

I secretly want to be:

Younger, but with the same wisdom I have now!

I want to be with someone who wants to be:

My equal partner, my best friend. I want him to know that I've got his back and I want to know that he has mine, always.

An infatuation of mine:

I love to create beauty, whether it be in my home, cooking a meal or taking pictures, I love to bring out the natural beauty of life!

If I won the lottery and quit my job, I would:

Probably not change much. Just the price tag of the things I already have. It would be nice to be able to help out Charities that I believe in.

One thing my mother would want you to know about me:

One thing my Grandmother would want you to know about me is that I am a very loving and strong woman.

I want to come home to:

A soft place to land...my friend, my lover the man I adore and respect. The man who loves me for who I am and supports me, even if we disagree.
