i'm a stay at home mummy with aspirations of taking over the world, one cake at a time. in a previous life i was a successful telecommunications consultant so i'm capable of holding conversations with lots of big words; i may even know what some of them mean. i have travelled extensively worldwide and although i've been home with preschoolers for years, i know that my tenure here making cookies, playing mousetrap and building lego spaceships is sadly temporary and i'll be back playing with adults very soon. when i do reenter the adult world it will be in the safe knowledge that i have given both of my kids the best start (and the coolest accent) in life. i should have mentioned that i'm scottish, glaswegian actually, hence the somewhat quirky spelling and even quirkier accent (think more annie lennox than miss jean brodie). i have lived in the states for 15 years now, 4 of those in atlanta. i am easy going (except for good table manners which are non negotiable), low maintenance, entertaining, kind, generous, funny and capable of olympic standard multi-tasking. i am a diehard roadie: my bike is my church, therapy and best friend at times so even if nothing longterm and romantic comes from this endeavour, it would be really handy to meet similarly minded (and paced) biking individuals for those kidless weekends when i long to ride further than the big creek greenway. i am an incurably idealistic romantic (hence the divorce) and am very giving and selfless in the right hands. i'm a serial monogamist and would like, one day in the dim and distant future, to be happily settled with someone. that said, i'm not crazy, mental, clingy, lacking, or otherwise defective or character disordered. i'm a completely whole individual, not requiring another father for my children or a knight in shining armour to come and 'rescue' me. i'm more than capable of doing that myself. if, however, he pulls up on his horse, to take me for sushi and salsa dancing then that's a completely different story.

so, a little bit about what i'm looking for perhaps? tall, handsome (in your own knee-meltingly delicious way), great smile, fit and athletic cause i'm an outdoorsy kinda gal. being open, honest and communicative is a quicker way to my heart though. throw in a hefty measure of good southern manners, sparkling conversation, passion for life and an irreverent or twisted sense of humour and i'm sold. kissing is a hugely, insurmountable issue - do it well and i may just lend you my copy of dirk gently's holistic detective agency (in like flynn, mate). i don't do well with people who aren't genuine, or refuse to be held accountable and won't cop to their own actions. everyone plays games - i'm just not very good at them and so would appreciate it if you stick to the truth. weirdly, i'd rather hear the gut wrenching truth than be placated with half truths or white lies. i'm insanely intuitive and will find out anyway. i'm a sucker for those who have the cojones to behave with integrity and honesty. drop me a line if you are interested. if you happen to count the big lebowski in your top 5 films, or any one of the cocteau twins, imogen heap or rufus wainwright amongst your fave artists then i may just propose on the spot......
