Pragmatic Risk Taker Seeks Partner

Transplant from the sunny shores of New Jersey. Currently raising my daughter in Burlington, VT, but she's off to college next year, so the world will once again be my oyster.

Things and people that make me laugh: Arrested Development, Schitt's Creek, Denis Leary, The Office, Parks & Rec, Howard Stern. I am an absolute sucker for dogs, any animals really, but dogs really take the cake. Sometimes literally and that is the best.

I run my own business, I'm a marketing copywriter, and I'm also in the process of getting my Master's in Creative Writing. My favorite hobby lately has been looking at used RVs because I could conceivably take my business with me on the road. I keep telling my daughter, currently a senior in high school, that I'm going to drop her at college in the RV and take off. She doesn't find this very funny. I do, though, so I keep saying it :)

The amazingly cute dog in the photos is Molly, our rescue pittie. She is a shameless lip kisser and will be your best friend for a butt scratch. I am a little more discerning and my breath is better than hers. Truth be told, she has my daughter and I wrapped around her velvety paw and I'd probably murder anyone who even looked at her sideways.

So enough about me, what about you? What makes you laugh? What songs do you sing really loudly in the car? Drop me a line and tell me about it.

Deeper

Name your guiltiest, most lurid pleasure. Eating whipped cream straight from the can

Three things that I want from my ideal mate are... transparency, honesty, and laughter

My favorite date activity is... with our weather, this is a fairly seasonal question for me. During the warm months I love to be outside, in the cold months I like to keep busy, whether it's bowling or seeing a new movie.

The last time I made an ass out of myself, I... laughed my ass off.

I've been told I resemble this celebrity... Courtney Love. Just kidding! Years ago it was Demi Moore. Let me stress the 'years ago' part.

What is the one thing that you love that everybody else hates? Mayonnaise.

Quote a line from your favorite movie. there are far too many to name, but here goes one - well, actually, it's two: "Do they blow up into funny shapes and all?" "Well, only if round is funny." - Raising Arizona

What is the one thing you hate that everybody else loves? according to my teenager, it's the LL Bean man slippers she wears at school.

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, it would be: Flatbread.

Two books everyone should read are: Any kind of Mad Magazine; Straight Man by Richard Russo

What is your most prized possession? My daughter

If you are a super-hero, what is your power? To make all dessert calories immediately disappear upon consumption.

If you could change one thing about Vermont, it would be: Now that I am no longer ski sherpa for my child, I'm probably going to go with the weather. I like it snowy through the holidays, then I'm done.

Fill It

I consider myself an open-minded person, but my deal breakers are bicyclists who ride in the middle of the road and too many bumper stickers on a car

On a Saturday night you will most likely find me having a glass of wine at one of the local watering holes with my pals

My favorite part about winter is watching my daughter fly down the slope during her ski races

My favorite snack is apples and peanut butter

My astrological sign is Gemini and that gives me the right to be mercurial

I always yell at the TV when the Red Sox are beating the Yankees

I couldn't live without indoor plumbing

If you like me, you'd better like Comedy Central and The Weather Channel

One sport I will never get is golf. Sorry, seems like a good way to ruin a perfectly fine walk.

If you have a pet, it better not be something rabid

The first section I turn to in Seven Days is the astrology - what else is there?

My ideal partner would be in the same to similar age range.

The quickest way to my heart is to make me laugh The quickest way to my bed is take the stairs, otherwise you'll have to use a ladder and climb in through the window. And in the morning, I like my eggs cooked scrambled with cinnamon.

Something I learned from the last person I dated is if someone's not ready, they're not ready

It's Sunday morning at 10 a.m. If I'm not still sleeping, I'm at hot yoga. I know, sometimes I can't believe it, either.

Something people keep buying me as gifts and I never use is napkin holders

When I die, I believe I will go on
