About Me

..
.. -- Use of this widget is subject to the terms stated here: http://www.travelpod.com/cgi-bin/help.pl?tweb_helpID=widget_ terms -- This Traveler IQ challenge is brought to you by the Web's Original Travel BlogWell, I'm old, fat and boring! hehehe. I am currently an ICU nurse, working with some of the best damn folks in the world! After spending much of my adulthood worrying about what happens tomorrow, I'm finally starting to live today. I'm enjoying myself, with traveling, going places I want to go and doing/seeing things I want to do and see. On the agenda for this year is Hawaii, a place that is so close, but that I've never been to. Hopefully that will be in the next few months, and then later this year or next year, I hope for Russia (eto potomu shto ya uchayu russkii yazik seychas!)
Before nursing, I was in the military, four years active duty and six years in the air guard. During that time, there were other travels, including various regions of the U.S. (of course, when I was first stationed in Missouri and saw MO on my travel orders, I thought wow, I'm going to Montana!) Been on the east coast, been on the west coast, been in the armpit (said state of Missouri, aka Misery) and now am nestled in the thriving metropolis of Reno, Nevada, a stone's throw from family.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Fewer and fewer people. I'm realizing that I dislike a lot of people. It's not a boon to an ICU nurse to not like people, but I'm kind of getting there. At least, unlike the antisocial pukes who open fire on college campus, my antisocial tendencies just make me want to be left the heck alone. Much safer for the world in general, wouldn't you say??

"Zoo-ropa"

My friend Karen and I have been volunteering at the Sierra Safari Zoo for about 2 months now (YES, Reno has a zoo!! :) ) It has been a blast for the most part, with the miscellanous drool, nibble, and...

Get the hell out of my way

I have come to a conclusion today. Children and old people should not be in a mainstream grocery store. They should have their own little areas in there. Or maybe just an activity area, like the McDon...

Hospital Christmas Carols

Since SOME assbucket didn't recognize that night shift workers actually sleep DURING the day, and I'm up, I thought I would grant people an insight into the dark and twisted soul of ICU nurses (especi...

A night with Baryshnikov

Ok, so maybe he isn't "Supernatural", but he is a dream! The man is 59 years old, with the body of a 20 year old (no, not in the trunk of his car), and moves like a 30 year old. Absolutely stunning.He...

Hunting puppies

My parents have always had dogs. They are dog people, just like I am cat people (although I love dogs as well, I just can't have one where I live. Or, where I live and the hours I work.) But they have...

My cat has a scrotum (and other Cat-astrophes)

So, I have a big fat old kitty who has long long hair and refuses to be brushed. I get the brush, she looks at me. I start to brush her, she looks at me again, this time with a "WTF" expression. And t...
