... on HERSELF
Best qualities: "I have a great outlook on life. Live
each day as if it were your last. I'd like to think
that my smile is my best quality. I am not without it very
much! I am the ultimate feminine tomboy ... is that a
new term? I am a die-hard New York Yankees fan and try
not to miss too many games during the season. I am very
athletic and am willing to try anything once!!"
Strengths: "I am a single mother to 2 gorgeous girls (8
& 10). I am proud of the fact that I am raising
them to be caring, smart and independent individuals. I
am fortunate to have found a business that enables me to
spend the time I need with them while securing myself
financially. Also, I am not a girl that takes her
`look' too seriously. If I need to run an errand, I'm
okay with the fact that I may not have makeup on. In
fact, I like as little makeup as possible. I do like to
glam it up every so often but I take the minimalist
approach."
Weaknesses: "Does chocolate count? How about the
Yankees? All kidding aside, one of my weaknesses is not
allowing enough `me' time. I guess this comes from the drive
I have to make my business successful. However, don't
think I won't devote time to a relationship. I welcome the
diversion!"
Others may not see: "If I experience any kind of stress
or frustration, you won't see it. I don't believe in
transferring negative emotions to someone else."
I've been known to ... "start great debates over
baseball!!"

recipes, traveling, sports."

compassion."
Turn Offs: "Arrogance, braggers, flaunters."

Charities: "My 9-year-old neighbor has Cystic Fibrosis. My
daughters and I are actively involved in fundraising efforts
for this cause."
15 minutes of fame: "Dancing onstage with Chubby
Checker ... that's it! Oh, and lots of family and
friends saw me on ESPN at the Yankees/Red Sox game in
Boston. My Dad and I were sitting right over the
Yankees dugout ... it was very cool!"
Travels: "Bahamas, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Florida."
Spirituality: "I am not a church goer, however, that
doesn't imply my disbelief in faith."
Fashion sense: "Pretty casual ... jeans are my staple. I
love to dress them up or pair them with a basic tee.
Baseball hats? Don't discount my huge collection of NY
Yankees caps."
Staying healthy: "I tend to be always on the go so my
metabolism is pretty speedy! I also make sure to devote
at least 1/2 hour per day to yoga, pilates or Tae Bo."
What touches my soul: "Warmth and compassion. The
smile on my daughter's faces. Sincerity."

A man can get my attention ... "by just being himself
and not being too forward in trying to get my
attention."

sense of humor please! Someone who is accomplishing
their goals!"

conversation. Perfect! After that, anything
goes!"

I feel that connection."
I'd never date a man who ... "is a smoker."
How I show I care: "I do unexpected things ... nothing
over the top. Also, showing interest in the important
things in his life."
What makes a man unforgettable: "Their smell ... oh
my!"
I wish men understood ... "that we aren't as dramatic
as men think we are. At least I'm not."
One thing a man has never done for me yet, but I would love
it: "Buy me a dozen roses!!!!!! Red, please."
... on RELATIONSHIPS
On Relationships: "I have been married and it ended
amicably. We are still friends today. Relationships
are important as they provide companionship and support
which everyone needs in their life."
Top relationship keys: "Complementing each others
strengths and weaknesses, similar intellect, common
interests and trust!"
A man who is in a relationship with me can expect ...
"nothing but the best that I have to offer."
What I expect: "The same ..."
When I'm in love, I ... "swoon ... is that a modern
term anymore?"
What makes me feel close to a man: "Sure, physical
intimacy is important but if I can trust someone completely
then nothing can bring me closer."
Greatest relationship lesson: "You can never judge a
book by it's cover ..."
What makes a man marriage material: "For me, it is
truly the ability to blend in with my family. If you
understand that I have two girls who look to me for
everything then we'll be in for the long haul."
... on SEX
I feel my sexiest when ... "I'm in a tee shirt and
jeans and am sporting the natural look."
Sexiest thing a man can wear in private:

I'd change places for 24 hours with ... "very easy. Alex
Rodriguez. He gets to play 3rd base ... right beside
Derek Jeter."

show me a great time!"
