: About Me

I am a 46 year-old registered nurse. I worked in intensive care for 18 years but finally could not take the pace anymore so became a hospital supervisor. I have two sons ages 22 and 16. Anyone who says teenagers are not as fun to watch as toddlers never had one. I have been married to my 2nd husband for 5 years. He is intelligent, quirky, slightly off kilter and we have fun together every single day. I have two dogs; a Beagle named Scout with a pantie fetish and a Basset Hound name Trigger who walks to his own theme music (dopey dopey dope dope...).
