Date women from United States / California / San Mateo, 38 year old

Date someone special from San Mateo, United States. I am passionate about learning. I love listening to NPR and hearing about something random and learning more about that subject. Whether it is researching on the internet or at the library, I will gather as much information as possible. My last "research project" was Route 66. I ended up taking a 10 day road trip and loved every mile of it. I think one of my favorite stops was Tinkertown in New Mexico. The #1 spot includes every National Park/Monument off Route 66.
I am also a big DIY and like having projects to work on. Right now my biggest project is creating an art project by painting and gathering miniature watercolor paintings and framing them in slide coverings.
To pay the bills, I direct a family music program that incorporates the power of play. I love creating family moments and being a part of the communities I serve. It also helps me to improve my guitar, uke, and piano skills.
I am having a lot of fun in my life right now and look forward to sharing it with someone. I am looking for a serious relationship. Someone who seriously makes me laugh and gets my sense of humor. Someone who is serious about making the best of their situation. Someone who is serious about building a relationship. And most importantly, someone who doesn't take themselves so seriously ;-)
The condensed version: I am NOT a high maintenance kind of girl. It takes me 15 minutes to get ready, unless it is Halloween night. I am not a big shopper... but I love browsing the flea markets and estate sales. I prefer traveling--not lounging in a hotel. I collect rocks not diamonds. I love food and cooking it. I love drama on the big screen, but try to avoid it in my personal life.
