The best way to get over a man is to get under a new one

About Me

Divorced RN,living in the suburbs of Richmond,Virginia with my son & 2 psychotic cats. I'm a New Yorker by birth. Piss me off and the attitude with the accent come right back.

My Interests

Enjoy watching soccer, hockey and football and recently saw my first Richmond Kickers' game! Trying to get back into working out regularly - wish I could have a personal trainer.I love to relax in my hot tub and then sit by the fire, enjoying a nice glass of shiraz.Always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon, but can't find anyone brave enough to go with me! Love my timeshare in Florida and I intend to use it to travel the world.I can be just as happy gambling in Vegas as I am lying on a beach in Mexico .I'm just not as drunk-lol.

I'd like to meet:

Looking to network with intelligent, fun people and stay in touch with friends.

Music:

I'm a huge Classic Rock fan and I'd listen to Joe Elliott(Def Leppard) sing the phone book backwards. Will do karaoke if you dare me. I sing along to Evanescence in the car and pretend no one can tell.I love going to live concerts and sometimes I do meet the band.;)

Movies:

Prefer movies to television - drama, action and comedy are my favorite genres.

Television:

Big fan of "Family Guy", "L & O Criminal Intent","30 Rock" and "The Office".My favorite new show is "Canterbury's Law"- hope it gets picked up for another season. I hate to admit this, but I've become hopelessly addicted to the Bravo Channel. Hey - it beats Lifetime! "Work-Out" & "Top Chef" are my current obsessions.

Books:

I always have a book in my hand (non-fiction or a novel- no chick lit!) when I'm lounging around and sometimes have several going at once.I'll read a magazine more often due to lack of time.

Heroes:

The men & women of our military for the sacrifices they make every day.

What a long strange trip it’s been

Haven't been here in ages because I was head over heels with the "new man"- who is now the "ex-man". LOTS of things have changed. My job has become a major stressor- although I was made a "Senior Nurs...

Happy 4th!

7 pounds down! Which makes a total of 17 lbs lost since leaving VTCC. The food isn't the most tasty but if I can make it for a couple of months, I'll be sitting pretty in a whole new wardrobe by fall....
