All About Me

About Me

I consider myself a rather uncomplicated person who tries hard to make the things in my life more complicated that they really are. I am a very organized indivdual and disorganization is confusing and irritating to me. I feel the most accomplishment when I have creating - whether it is something from scratch or re-creating something already made. As I mentioned about, I also love to create organization out of chaos.
I have a myriad of interests and have difficulty in narrowing down and concentrating on any one of them. I'm always wanting to learn but often forgetting what I learned a short time ago. I've struggled with a low self esteem most of my life and am constantly having to remind myself that my Creator knows what He's doing and He loves me just the way I am.

Here are some things I find interesting about myself.

1. I am a native mid-westerner - my mother from Kansas and my father from Okahoma.
2. I love the mountains and the ocean. Tennessee and Hawaii is my idea of beautiful.
3. As of this writing, July of 2010, I am a little less than a year and a half fromr retiring - a very exciting thought!
4. I am fascinated with weather. I think that if I could do it all over again, I would be a meteorologist.
5. I love rainy days, as long as I don't have to go out in it.
6. I graduated at the top of my LPN class.
7. My dream vacations? A pilgrimage to Jerusalem and the Sea of Galilee and a trip to Hawaii.

13. I have a few certain movies that I tend to watch over and over again.
14. My favorite foods always seem to fall in the pasta, cheese or ice cream category.

16. As of July 2010, I have 10 grand children with another on the way.
17. I love flavored coffee and McDonald's sugar free iced vanilla coffee is awesome!
18. My favorite local vacation destination is the Wilderess Lodge at Disney World.
19. I am proud to say that I am a nurse but will be glad to hang up my stethescope and move on.
