About Me

  • About Me: I am nuts about my husband!!! My favorite drink is water. My desert island top five must-have items are water, chapstick, Matt, books, and toilet paper. No, wait...can I change my mind? I am very indecisive...I think. Wait, let me think about it and I'll get back to you. I have been known to single-handedly eat a whole pizza and not think twice about it. I am a nurse who wishes she was something else, like a server or a mom. And while we're on the subject, I think that someone who wants to be "just" a mom should be commended, not treated like a pariah by every other woman out there. I love words; books are wonderful because they are chock full of them.
