Sounds like there have been a few broken hearts.
A couple, but it wasn't so much my broken heart. I got a few marriage proposals in my 20s. I just wasn't ready. I just knew if I committed, I would've wound up doing something wrong, messing it up. I still felt like I had some living to do.

Are you in a relationship now?
No comment.

But you seem happy . . .
I am happy with or without a relationship. I'm just happy in general.

Whether or not you're with someone, you talked about wanting to have kids.
I've always wanted to have [babies] and adopt. When I was little, I remember seeing TV shows and a child would be adopted and be happy. I just always felt like there are so many kids out there who need a parent. I want to be that household where everybody's kids hang out. As long as you can tolerate the noise and the clanging and banging, it's cool. To me, it's good energy.

You've said that you love being in what you call your "dirty 30s."
[A huge grin spreads across her face.] That's what they call them. Women are supposed to hit their sexual prime in their 30s.

Actually, some peak in their 40s . . .
Oh! That's even better.

Honey, you're just starting!
[She shimmies in her chair and claps.] So the freaky 40s are coming up next!
