Date men and women from United States / California / Aptos, 42 year old

Date someone special from California, United States. First, good teeth and dental hygiene are a must!
I am an easy going and always smiling. I love to laugh! Ask any of my friends. And, I like to make people laugh. My career is demanding and keeps me busy so my philosophy is since I work hard, I must play harder. I enjoy good friends, good food, and good wine - it's a quality of life value. I love the beach and ocean, especially the tropical ones. I love the mountains and camping too. I like to ski down intermediate slopes with a boda bag around my neck. I am a hacker at golf but getting better. But also on occasion, I like to cuddle up and watch movies. I'm the kind of girl who is not afraid to jump on the quad and get dirty, or dress up and go for a wonderful dinner and dancing if it fancies us.
I have learned many life lessons, and with these experiences I have come to understand what I want. To me, it's simple. I want to find someone that together we become best friends, laugh often, agree to disagree at times, and love unconditionally with lots of passion. A true "partner in crime" in this adventure of love and life. I am appraochable, playful and downright fun. But I am also successful, independent, and not easily taken advantage of. Most importantly, I am a mother of 2 kids I love more than anything.
If you like what you see and read, write me and say hi.

Meet people from California, United States. I love spending time with my family and good friends. I live by the beach and cherish the fact that I can just drive to wonderful places such as Carmel, Pebble Beach, Los Gatos, San Francisco, and Napa. I also enjoy traveling to other countries but whenever I return home I am thankful that I live here.
I enjoy so many different things in life and would like to find a great guy to share it with. I like walking on the beach, sitting by the pool, going to the movies, cooking, sharing a bottle of wine. My friends have told me that I have a great laugh, I am warm hearted, sincere, and a gracious host.
I am looking for someone who is honest, sincere and fun.

Date men and women from California, United States. I like to stay active and set new goals for myself. I recently completed an 8 hour hike in Yosemite and am looking forward to a 10k race and mud run. I like the motivation of knowing I have an 'event' to do. I'm open to try pretty much any outdoor activity. Except maybe sky diving--- I'm not convinced that jumping out of a plane is 'fun'.
I love to travel. I think weekend trips are just as important as trips that require a passport. Getting perspective on life from seeing how other people live keeps things fresh. I've driven across the country a couple of times, and done some traveling abroad, but there is a LOT of the planet I still want to see. Next trip planned is to Ireland in the Fall. I hear it should be rainy.
One of my mottos is - I work to live, not live to work. I enjoy my job and have a good time with my co-workers and am comfortable with where I'm at- but I'm definitely not a workaholic. I do my time and get out! Don't get me wrong, I'm good at what I do- I just don't define myself by what I do for a living.
I enjoy going to the theater, opera, ballet and symphony. It would be nice to have someone who shared an interest in the theater or at least was willing to humor me once in a while.
I'm looking for someone who knows who they are and is comfortable with where they are in life, but still open to new experiences and adventure. I would like someone who also likes to stay active. Sitting in front of the TV 24/7 does not appeal to me at all. Someone with sharp intelligent wit is a huge bonus.
