Date men and women from United States / California / Redlands, 48 year old

Date people from Redlands, United States. I am a positive, cheerful and intensely loyal partner and friend. Bright, thoughtful, attentive, quite shy till I get going. Prefer listening to talking, but have plenty of experience, curiosity and ideas to talk about. I am very bright and inquisitive. My mis-spent youth was rewarded with 7 years at Cambridge, England and have built a career that I much enjoy every day.
California is so beautiful and there is so much of it I haven't seen yet.I love scenic drives: Pick a direction! Mountains, Desert, Forest, Beach. The kids travel well, and we camp (in tents) about once a month. My favorite spot is Joshua Tree, especially when its in flower. Its so vital, and other-worldly. Death Valley is great but rather vast, and, well, dead. The Torrey Pines Glider Port is a fun place to stop with a pizza and watch the sun set. And most mornings, I take my oatmeal, LA Times and good cuppa tea to the bedroom balcony and watch the sun rise over the mountains.
I like to try new things, love the outdoors, am quite creative. At Halloween I sew the kid's costumes, or make them out of whatever, from Thomas the Tank Engine, to a huge penguin with goggly eyes and foam feet. This year Daleks from Dr. Who. I love playing games with the children. We invent handicaps so I can try my hardest and they can still beat me. I like to xeroscape garden and have huge cacti growing round the house. We make lemonade from the fruit and grow our own nopales for use in omelets. I love food and cooking, and when I travel I seek out the unusual that I won't get elsewhere (Puffer fish in Japan, sheep brain in Chicago).
Good communication and physical affection are important to me, as is being sensible with money. I grew up poor and lonely, so I crave emotional and fiscal security. You can expect me to invest a lot in our relationship. I am told I am very attentive, easy going, funny. I am settled into my new single life, sharing the kids on a weekly basis, and having the other week to catch up and do adult things. I do miss having someone to be affectionate towards, to think about every day, and to share my life with.
My ideal match would be attractive but not stunning, confident but not a bully. I don't "get" heels or manicures or designer labels. The beauty is on the inside, and a clear eye, a genuine smile is more beautiful than a painted face and flashy clothes. You'll be happy to get your hands dirty sometimes, rough it on a driving holiday, be fit enough that we can be active together, and have a sense of fun that runs deep. You will be well educated and have had some successes in life. You will love children more than dogs.
I am just exploring this site for now, If I get any interest, I might become a full member. Or I might stop looking and you'll have me to yourself.
No, now I am a member, as of March 2011, so you can also reach me here.
No, now I'm not again as of May 2012

I am looking for someone who shares similar values. I enjoy seeing people reach their potential. I enjoy art and music as well as a good book. Staying fit is also important to me, but not an obsession.

Meet someone special from California, United States. Looking for fireworks? I am, for sure! This is me, current photos, real age, no b.s. I have a big welcoming heart and I try to bring sunshine to everyone I come in contact with. I love a challenge, belly laughs, and chocolate. I couldn't wait to leave home after high school, so I went to college in L.A., then moved to Boston, San Francisco and traveled the world. I pursued a career in art, sometimes carrying million dollar paintings tucked in a Bloomingdales shopping bag, on flights from New York to L.A. I was a huge fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn (RIP) and INXS (RIP MIchael Hutchence) and followed both bands wherever they were in concert. Those were great times, but not exactly the most condusive to marriage and family. :)
Now I have a much more stable career in finance, and a pretty simple and wonderful life. I'm hoping to find a guy who "gets" me and wants to share the next chapters - hopefully all the way to the final curtain call. Accepting people for exactly who they are greatly reduces the drama in oneРІР‚в„ўs life. I am not attached to a lot of preconceived ideas about how the world should be; my life is rich because I embrace the unique qualities in people.
Here is what I care about: God, family, yoga, children, all animals, helping people, working hard at my profession, continued education, the beach, the mountains, art, music, the earth, friends, breaking a sweat, creating. Oh, and I love men.
I spent my childhood and early years in Laguna Beach, so even though I live inland, I'm always at Woods Cove or somewhere near the water. If we're a match, I'm happy to travel anywhere for you. :)
Who am I looking for? A straight up good guy who is easy going and comfortable with his life. Must smile and laugh alot, and be attracted to a straightforward, witty woman. Sarcasm is something you use on occasion, but you don't rely on it to engage people. Your warmth and ability to listen and relate are what make you irresistible.

Date a soulmate from California, United States. I enjoy getting up and walking in the morning before the sun rises to start the day with a little music and my thoughts. It feels good to be up and about early, although sleeping in on Saturday mornings has it's perks too. I work hard at my job that I have enjoyed for a long time. I've worked my way up through the same company, working in several different areas and states through the years.
My 17-year-old son seems to be getting more and more busy with his own life so now I have more time on my hands than what I am accustomed to. He and I have been quite the team for a long time, but things change quickly. It's an interesting transition, to be sure.
Some favorite things: Bike rides at the beach, a hike up in Forest Glen, indoor go-karts, charades with my closest friends, Monopoly with a glass of wine, kayaking in the coves of Newport Bay, playing cards with my family when I get the chance, and dancing to classic rock and roll. Basketball is my current favorite spectator sport. I love going to Laker games. So much fun.
I am defenseless to strong arms and and even stronger personality. I enjoy bantering with someone that "gets" silly sarcasm and playful goofing off. I need someone that is not afraid of a gal who is comfortable in her own skin and goes with the flow. No drama. Love adventure.
Say hi. I enjoy writing and I enjoy talking.
