What can I say about myself? So far it has indeed been a long strange trip...

I've been an RN for almost 21 years now. I have worked in many different areas of nursing in many different parts of the country. So far my favorites have been psychiatric intensive care and home health. I have never worked in obstetric nursing, I didn't figure it would be a wise choice for me since I passed out cold in a delivery room at the Medical College of Georgia after witnessing my first birth while in nursing school.

I did manage to have a child, I didn't have to look, and she is now 16. Payback is indeed a bitch. I was married at one time, but finally decided I didn't like it after 12 years, so I got a divorce. I didn't get married again, but I did co-habitate with my next man for seven years. That didn't work either, so I have decided I will have to grow up before I venture into serious relationship territory again and I'm really just not ready to do that yet.

My favorite place I have ever lived is Seattle...it really doesn't rain all the time. I liked New Jersey too, especially since we were able to spend a lot of time in NYC. Now I'm back in the Low Country so I can be close to my Mom and Dad. I don't know how they got so old cause I still feel the same as I did when I was in college.

I don't like George W. or Rush Limbaugh, I am a liberal but not a radical, and I still believe nonconformity rules. I also believe if you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much space. I usually try to be good because karma can be a bitch.

Some of my favorite places are Folly Beach, the Ashley River and Rock's Pond. I love it when people tell me I don't look my age, even if they don't really mean it. Flattery will get you somewhere, depending on the delivery. Sleazy, slickery dirty old men usually get insulted if they try flattery, only most of the time they don't realize they've been insulted until someone else points it out to them.

I have 2 tattoos with plans for more and a belly ring. If it wasn't against the dress code I would pierce my tongue, but alas, I'm told I'm too old for such foolishness.

For fun these days I am working with a colleague to open a Hospice Agency in rural South Carolina. Every once in a while, when I'm feeling brave, I attempt to have a conversation with my 16 year old daughter. I'm not really sure when, but at some point aliens invaded her body and I went from being the smartest person she knows to the most stupid. I'm told this will pass but I fear that is an Urban Legend.
