I'm an animal lover, with a soft spot for cats, especially. I have two naughty cats who have me well-trained to spoil them! I teach deaf children, and it is my life's greatest joy. I love to read, do some freelance writing, and tend to collect things! I am a vegetarian, but not a fanatic.. I cook meat for my friends when I entertain. I am considered very pretty, and look and feel many years younger than my actual age, but being pretty doesn't mean you can't be smart, too. I have huge green eyes and auburn hair, and I've been told I have a beautiful smile. Still, I consider my best feature to be my intelligence. I have two advanced degrees, as well as a razor-sharp sense of humor, a quick wit, and a very kind heart. I am very giving and caring, and enjoy making others happy. I feel most comfortable in faded jeans and sweaters on the weekends, but I'll throw on the little black dress and heels when the occasion calls for it. I'm more comfortable in small groups than large crowds.

love men who are funny, smart, honest, even-tempered, good-natured, sweet, thoughtful, and kind, and am turned off by rudeness, bad tempers, and low self-esteem. I like a man who can appreciate an independent woman.. I enjoy spending time together, but I need my alone time as well. I'm not a needy, clingy, jealous person, and I hope you're not, either. Now, it's your turn!
