**Be forewarned - these are really random ramblings about myself**i'm a single mom of a wonderful 5 year old boy. i work full time as an analyst at a marketing research company. i'm also working towards a second bachelors degree in health sciences, specifically in i don't know what. i was bored one day and decided to go back to school. i do know i love research (it's my job) and i dream of contributing to the science of medicine one day. but right now i'm focused on being there for my son. it's amazing to watch him grow in life. he's learning to read right now. it's awesome. i work really hard to give my son a good life. i've drove the same (pink) car since high school, but it still runs beautifully. i love life and live compassionately. i've been hurt in love before, but found the strength to drag my ass up and move forward. i lost some weight (about 70 lbs) and i found out i get a rush from working out. i guess the pain of a failed marraige showed me how strong of a person i really am. i don't think i could get through the week now without at least one good run. i now have an extremely awesome boyfriend who i love a ton. he makes me smile constantly & i'm so glad he's in my life. i really, really, really love music. local bands rock. so does jazz music, bob marley, led zeppelin, godsmack, ray charles, dave matthews band, pearl jam, system of a down to name a few. i'm sometimes a perfectionist. i want to learn to play the mandelyn one day (but first i should learn to spell it). i also WILL move to hawaii, just haven't found a good enough excuse to get me there yet although i've thought about it every single day for the past few years. i'm pretty impulsive. i don't like cold weather. i'm a liberal democrat who strongly believes in government provided health care. we should pay taxes to help ourselves. we have the technology and resources to improve peoples lives, but the assholes contributing to the current mess called the health insurance industry prevent people from affording the care they deserve. it's bs. everyone deserves health care and yet so many go without. we can afford big hummers and other gasmobiles but dear old Grams in the local retirement community is struggling to breath because she can't afford her prescription meds. rediscovered God in my life about a year ago. i hit a really low point and found God there to forgive me and lift me up.
