Don't talk. Just do what I tell you.

About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Chinese purple

Welcome! I'm Mandy and this is my page. I'm supposed to tell you a bit about myself so here goes....I'm married to a wonderful man named Matt. We have 2 little boys who are growing up entirely to quickly. I currently work as a nurse at a busy family practice. I have a very dry, very offbeat sense of humor that often comes out at inopportune times. I love all types of music. I can sit through ALMOST any kind of movie. And I absolutely LOVE to read. I rarely meet a book I don't like. I hate text messaging. I can't quite get the hang of it so it annoys me. I love special needs kids! My youngest son is autistic so I have learned a lot about the autism spectrum through the years. I love to travel when I get the chance. I love gardens but have the black thumb of death. I love animals but don't like to touch them...I feel like I have fur and slobber all over me if I pet one. I love to shop...doesn't matter for what. I like games but not the convoluted, complicated ones...they're supposed to be fun. I'm a list maker...almost a compulsive one. And I love all things Scotish. That's about it for me...with maybe a few things in between...

My Interests

I love to read. Now, before you go thinking I am so incredibly intellectual, let me stop you. I adore the naughty novels...A bit of romance is the best form of escapism. I love shopping and shoes, a good book, chocolate, kilts, and all things Scottish. Good food, good music and lots and lots of sleep. I stockpile all my television shows for weekend marathons. I love to play Texas Hold 'Em but I always lose even though I am a superior player.

I'd like to meet:

Sean Connery (just to hear him talk to me. YUM), Christopher Walken (who wouldn't? He is so strangely cool), the owners of the voices in my head...
