About me

Gender Female
Occupation Registered Nurse
Location Leander, Austin, Central Texas, United States
Introduction I am a somewhat burned-out ICU nurse of 17 years taking a short break from the profession. I'm now back at work doing home health nursing for babies with life support at home. Satisfying a year removed form the UNIT, but fraught with ethical issues and kind of lonely. I miss the fast pace of Intensive Care. I am also the mother of four great kids, and passionate designer of silver jewelry for the average, non-millionaire consumer=) You know, stuff I would purchase for myself!
Interests Jewelry, reading, nature, chickens, gardening, kids, hiking, camping, travel, Mayan culture, Caribbean travel. California, which I miss so bad it hurts sometimes...
Favorite Movies I haven't watched a movie in a while, but enjoy an occasional movie at home with a BIG bowl of popcorn. Mostly kid flicks: Harry Potter and fantasy, also romantic comedies and detective stories. I watched Cowboys and Aliens and Thor at the movies in the last year and liked them both.
Favorite Music Love it all: Adele, Jason Mraz, Metro Station, KT Tunstall, Better than Ezra, Daughtry, James Taylor, Candlebox, Green Day, Shinedown, Filter, All-American Rejects... I do like music! With four kids, really enjoy the silence! I have an iPod dock down there, but often forget about it and have a dead phone when I'm done making things!
Favorite Books I read a LOT. Even more recent faves: The Good Earth, Cutting for Stone, Recent: Forests of the Heart. Older: Shantaram, Into the Forest, Poisonwood Bible, Prodigal Summer
