Profile lilyofthevalley5: Friends, first, right?!

Basic Information Tell us a bit about yourself.

I Can Speak English, Spanish
I Would Describe Myself As What can I say? I am a newly divorced mom of 1 daughter. I live in Northfield, MN. My daughter is 4, and my ex-husband and I have joint physical custody of her. Her dad is an excellent father, so yeah... Got that covered.
I am currently a CNA, but am going back to school in January 2010 to get my AA degree in Paralegal Studies. When we moved up here (the ex-husband, daughter, and I), I only had 3 months of schooling left in St. Louis, MO, so I really want to finish that up. After that, I plan to go back and get my bachelor's degree, later on.
Let's see- I have only lived in MN for about the past 2 years, so I'm still finding my way around. We moved up here from St. Louis, MO. (I enjoy the summers up here much, much more) :)
I am a very witty and clever person. I am a fast learner, and love to try new things. I think that intelligence, wit, sarcasm, and a fantastic sense of humor are very underrated qualities.
It is imperative that I find a guy who: a)make me laugh, b)knows how to spell, c)can hold a good conversation, and d)will not rant and rave about politics the entire night! (I've had my fair share of that...)
I, myself, am a fairly liberal person. MOVING ON!!
Things I like- Movies, traveling, talking, walking, reading, some sports- softball, baseball, volleyball- I actually like playing them, more than watching them! I am not a huge Vikings fan, yet, although, I am getting there. Actually, I don't really understand football, or it's rules. Maybe someone can teach me about that?
I love animals- I've had cats and dogs. I would like to adopt a little female long-haired Daschund, and name her "Olive." I just think that is so cute! I used to work at an animal shelter, so I know quite a bit about animals.
I'm also interested in trying a few things- Well, since I'm still relatively "new" to MN, I would like to try skiing, snowmobiling, and maybe some other outdoor winter sports. I'm also game for golf (not in the winter!), fishing (just don't make me gut the fish, please), and canoeing.
And, of course, most importantly- My daughter is my #1 priority. Nothing else comes before her. She is such a special little girl. I fell in love with her, the day she was born- As most parents, do, I'm sure.
Well, that's me, in a nutshell. I'll be glad to tell you anything else, just "drop me a line"...

An Ideal First Date Would Be It would depend a lot upon the other person. I would like to go out, where we can talk- Even if that's grabbing a cup of coffee, somewhere, that's fine. I really like to play miniature golf (if the weather is nice outside), and I really like to go bowling, so maybe one of those ideas is an option...

I love Fall. Fall is my favorite time of year. The leaves change color, it gets chilly outside, and you get to wear sweaters again! I love that! I love a huge, roaring fire- Sitting in front of it, talking, listening to stories, and roasting marshmallows by it. I love the thought of snuggling up with someone special, in front of the fire...

Looking for What are you looking for in your soulmate?

What Do You Find Attractive? Intelligence, Humor, Empathy, Sensitivity, Flirtatiousness, Wit, Thoughtfullness
What Do You Look For? I look for someone who is sincere, honest, respectful, and someone who has a great sense of humor. I, myself, am a very sarcastic person, and I'd like to think that I am both clever and witty. The man I meet has to be able to hold a conversation, and it can't be (totally, 100%) about sports, fishing, guns, God, or politics. (The last three are usually very "sensitive" issues.) I'd like to meet a man who can understand my sense of humor, but who can also be very sensitive; a person who can be empathetic, and who can "lend an ear", when I need him to. I'm usually hardly ever serious, but you know when I am, that it's probably for a good reason. And, lastly, I know that men are not psychic, and that they do not(typically) have ESP, but I'd like a man who is intuitive; who kind-of knows what I'm thinking, and how I'm feeling... That's it! :)
