On the Road again!

About Me

So, I graduated from The Ohio State University and still think nothing is sweeter than the excitement of Football Saturdays. Since graduation, My life is my job. I have a great and fun job that I love as a Neonatal ICU travel nurse. My job has moved me from Columbus, OH to CA, HI, NC, NH, Washington D.C., back to OH, and I am currently in Denver, CO. Besides moving alot, I also spend time ticking stuff off my "Things to do before dying" list. Hanging out with my family is one of my favorite past times, they make me laugh harder each time I'm with them. I love playing Rummikub with my sisters, of which I am the reigning champ (they may argue that). I think there is no better way to wind down in the evenings than snuggling with my Puppy. I also spend as much time as possible with my friends who keep spice'n up my life. Oh, how could I forget to add that I love Malasadas and strawberry fruit roll-ups, Lip gloss and chapstick, the smell and feel of fresh air, and live music. It is a little known fact among those closest to me, that given any moment of the day I can be found day dreaming (better known as LaLa Land). I do it while I'm working, driving, walking and talking. A very special book just may ensue from these very special thoughts one day.

My Interests

I love to go biking. Everytime I'm on my bike I feel like a little kid again on my Cactus Rose Banana Bike with the wind whipping through my hair and freedom (until I'm called in for dinner that is). I love all water sports like swimming, kayaking, and scuba diving. I like traveling, exploring, and hiking (esp in the fall) always on the look out for new natural wonders. I also like Pina Coladas (my favorite is at Duke's in HI), rain/thunder storms and watching sunsets (especially over the ocean).

I'd like to meet:

GOD...I have a lot of questions I would like some answers to. I would also like to meet my Grandfathers, because I never got to.

Music:

Gotta thank the college roommates for screwing up my respectable taste in music. I have always liked rocking out to big hair band 80's, top 40's, a little alternative, and adult contemporary. Untill they plunged their nails into me. I learned to enjoy the musical stylings of Tupac, Rage Against the Machine, Etta James, and Country all at the same time. No wonder I'm so conflicted. But thanks to BMG and Columbia House, I was able to purchase 100 CDs for 1 cent and the sell of my soul for a life time. Although, I refuse to give up on my love for Bon Jovi, Human Leaque, and AhHa. To my summer aersenal I have added Kenney Chesney and Tim McGraw. And on my IPod for grueling workouts there are the classics like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. The Five Stairsteps have never let me down and neither have the Pussy Cat Dolls. I also like staind and Nickelback and Santana is currently collaborating on my new favorite song.

Movies:

Love & Basketball

Television:

I Love Grey's Anatomy and I like to unwind watching MTV/VH1/CMT. Other than that I really don't watch a lot of TV. Although I do quite enjoy watching OLN when the PBR is on. Oh Yeah, and then there is Ohio State football saturdays. I also need a little TLC and Life time television for women fix every now and then.

Books:

I absolutely love Harry Potter. The Potts is the greatest. Can't wait for number 7. I just finished Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Very interestng. Special thanks to Ms. LaVyrle Spencer for ruining my head with trashy and delicious romance novels. Marley and Me was awesome. Glad someone else is as crazy over their dog as I am. Triathlon Training, my bible for the last 6 months. Mitch Albom's Tuesday's with Morrie is the greatest book and it made me want to be a better person. I love Real Simple Magazine. It's my go to guide for everything simple. I also love to read my horoscope, especially Linda Black's version since I grew up reading her in the Repository. Although...nothing she predicted has ever come true. I tend to be a loyal person so I won't give up on her yet.

Heroes:

My Dog, for being the only one I know that truly lives unconditional love and for surpassing his 9 lives with a wag of his tail. He is one tough cookie who's always looking for someone to snuggle up with and be petted by. My Family, for never giving up or caving in when the going got tough. We're a creative bunch of survivors and we're still laughing, learning, and having fun.
