About Me


Myspace Layouts & Myspace Graphics
Hi! I am a 35 year old nurse that works on a neurology floor/primary stroke unit in a suburban hospital. I love what I do - have been doing it for 14 years now and honestly can't imagine a better job. I work primarily 3rd shift, although as any nurse knows, that means nothing - you work, when you work!! I have been married to my husband for nearly 11 years now. We actually met at work. His friend was my patient when I worked on the HIV unit at Rush. He was positive and unfortunately passed away shortly after we met - about 2 weeks actually. It's amazing the things we shared with each other the first night I met him.... some things are meant to be, I guess. A shot out to all the other people in healthcare....... no matter what you do. Thank you for giving of yourselves and helping to makes someone's life a little better. Take pride in what you do - you have an amazing job!!

My Interests

I love reading - primarily fiction, murder mysteries - Harlan Coben, Michael Connelly, John Sandford (you get the jist), gardening - have tons of flower beds and perennial gardens around my house. I love color in my life - so something is always in bloom and looking fabulous. Also enjoy writing, scrapbooking, and enjoying my 11 nephews and nieces. You know who you guys are - love you bunches!!

I'd like to meet:

seriously??? who knows........ I just like meeting people. Have created some of the most amazing friendships in the weirdest places. Met my dearest friend running in gym in high school and bitching about the teacher. We have been friends now for 17 years and I am godmother to her beautiful daughter. So, who do I want to meet.... anyone that can add something beautiful to my life and hopefully I can inspire- in one form or another.

Music:

Love music - really a passion of mine...... have the radio or a CD on all the time. Seriously can't tell you the last time I watched TV - although I have to say, I don't miss it. Some of my favorites........ Ministry, KMFDM, Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails Korn - like old school industrial. What the hell are they calling it these days???? Also enjoy other artists too - Sarah McLachlan, The Stones, U2, Alanis Morissette, Pink Floyd - damn near anything except country, classical and jazz. Sorry, just not my thing.

Movies:

Enjoy movies, but as I said, would rather be outside or listening to music....... so this list is much shorter. Favorite movie... City of Angels and Philadelphia - I know, sad ones, but both have a special place in my heart because of different reasons. I actually prefer comedies, but don't necessarily have any favorites in that category - just like to laugh.

Television:

Fan of dramas - "police shows"...... love CSI and Law and Order (SVU rocks), also Rescue Me on FX. TLC and Discovery Channel shows are great - but as I have said before, don't have to be watching TV to enjoy myself... have tons of other interests.

Books:

All of them - seriously.... how can I pick one!! Just give me something to read. Any suggestions??

Heroes:

Don't believe in heroes - no, really don't. There are people that I admire in this world, but since no one is perfect (and no, am not going to talk about Jesus Christ here), have never seen the rationale behind putting another human being on a pedestal. If you are special to me, you know it. That's that!!!
