Shopping for expensive things

About Me

I am a nurse and I work the night shift. Sounds terrible, but it is pleasant and I love it. The awesome part is that I am a traveling nurse which sounds kind of like a circus act, but it's not. I travel to different locations in the U.S. where there is urgent need for nurses and I work there with all expenses paid. It's a good gig. So, I have lived in Vegas, Marina Del Rey, Rancho Palos Verdes, and who knows where the hell they may find me next. I am currently in San Francisco! I love it and am planning on going back to school soon to get my Master's and enlighten my IV, chemo, and heart monitoring skills. Ok...Anyways, I love my dogs and am easy to please, most of the time. I love people who are funny and who can just make me laugh. I love to do anything that is completely unexpected to catch people off guard so that they fall to their knees in hysterics. I want to shop from the time I get up to the time my lil' head hits the pillows. Hell, I even dream about it. Well, that and handbags and maybe a shoe here and there. Am I high maintenance? Some would say, Hell yeah, and yes I guess, sometimes, but I am pretty down to earth though. I think my blood would cease flowing activity if I did not have at least one form of caffeine a day. I need either a RedBull, Tab or a nice lil' coffee drink from Starbucks or Coffee Bean. I love love love vanilla cupcakes from Citizen Cupcake! I dance a lot, uncontrollably. Like, when I am eatin' or whatever. It's just in my blood. There's so much more to me, but you can buy my autobiography in stores soon, such as Barnes and Noble and for your .. luxury at Amazon (It's a joke, c'mon shittin' people, it's still in the making).

Music:

This could take a lot of time, so I am just going to say I love my IPOD! I do however, LOVE Nouvelle Vague, Forever Thursday and Feist...I cannot get enough of any of those.

Movies:

I love watching funny movies. I like girly movies and sappy ones too. I am not big on scary movies (because they give me nightmares) but for some reason, I am always one of the first ones in line to see them. I always say that I dont like action movies, but once I start watching them it seems like I cant get enough. Some of my favorite movies are: Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, Steel Magnolias, Dont Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, Mean Girls, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Son in Law, Sound of Music, Napoleon Dynamite, Practical Magic, Titanic, Night at the Roxbury.....and the list could go on and on.

Television:

Anything ReALitY.............I am addicted.....Examples include: Laguna Beach, Real World. Professional Football (Go Chiefs!) and any soccer game! Friends, Will and Grace, Everybody loves Raymond, Oprah, Grey's Anatomy, Nip Tuck, Sex and the City. There are so many shows that I tivo on a daily basis, that it is so hard to just list them all. But I think you can get an idea from this small list.

Books:

The Secret, any magazine or catalog

Heroes:

My siblings and bestest friends. And...I cant forget my amazing Aunt Denise!
