About me

Gender Female
Occupation Registered Nurse
Location Mountlake Terrace, Washington, United States
Introduction I am married to the love of my life and best friend of all time, Chris. I am an RN at Swedish Visiting Nurses. I have a hard time describing myself, but I'd say that I don't consider myself your "typical" girl. I am far from perfect, but I spend my time trying to be kind to others and learning as much as I can from those around me. Being a jerk to people takes way more energy and nothing good ever comes from it. I am often impatient and overly critical, 2 things I consistently try to work on but so far have never changed. I feel that I am finally at a place in my life where, for the most part, I am comfortable with who I am. I spent many years in my youth, agonizing over trying to appear cool. I have decided that that takes way too much effort, and would much rather spend my time trying to be happy. I am addicted to yarn and fiber.
Interests Chris, love, music, cuddling, socks, people watching, kitties, dancing, divey bars, sewing, crocheting, knitting, crafts of various sorts, grilled cheese sandwiches, pink, camping, golf, birds, breakfast, board games, wine.

Favorite Books I read a lot of Stephen King. I am currently branching out thanks to the book club at work and Kendal's great recommendations. I'm trying to read up more on current nursing practice. Books about diseases, psychology, and philosophy are interesting to me. I also spend a lot of time looking at craft related books.
