I try and view every situation in a positive way, no matter how tough things may get. I do like to get out and do things (anything by the water, walking my dogs, sporting events, Napa, San Francisco or hanging out with friends). I also don't mind staying at home, relaxing, reading a book or watching a movie (unbuttered popcorn a must when going to the movies). I love to travel, lately, it has been Europe and I seem to be going back to the UK quite a bit in the last few years, I think it?s that British accent :).... I?ve been to 16 countries mostly Europe and I would love to explore Australia, Africa and Asia some day. About me: I'm fairly independent, although I would love to have a special someone to share my life with and to be able to depend on each other. I love to snuggle, I prefer the cold weather over humid hot weather. Although I love the beach and dry heat...I love to snow ski, still haven?t master water skiing. I love my job, but at times I can get carried away and work all the time, although have made huge improvements over the past year. I'm an early riser, M-F at the gym by 5 am, getting back into shape again. I'm very close with my family; I talk to my sisters almost every day. I love children and animals, I have two nephews and five nieces whom I love to spoil along with my two small dogs a Jack Russell terrier and a Rat terrier.
