I am an old-enough to know better that lives in Michigan with my husband of 37 years and our menagerie of 2 black Labrador Retrievers (Belle and Star), 3 cats (Fluffy, Hank, Cody), 2 cavies, 1 rabbit (JoeBunny), and 3 horses (Tuff, Meara, Blaze.)

I have two grown children, who both live in the area (at present, I say that because my daughter has lived as far away as Georgia in the past.) My kids and I get along great and we surprisingly share a lot of interests and hobbies, which makes life fun.

In real life, I am a nurse and work in the Emergency Department at our local hospital. This year will be my 38th year in nursing, first as a LPN and now as a RN. I also do home health care for a single patient.

Movies: Star Wars saga, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Trek series, Indiana Jones quartet, Back To The Future trilogy.

I'll watch pretty much anything, don't really care for extreme gore-fest horror movies but they do have their place. Also not a fan of Japanese Anime (although I do find Pikachu adorable.)

The Beatles. Do I really need to list anything else?

I have such a random collection of music, that it would take way to long to list all of it. I will listen to just about anything except for rap and really heavy metal.

I still thoroughly enjoy going to live concerts and especially seeing musical theatre shows. I really love: The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Miss Saigon, Jekyll & Hyde (but I have seen many others as well.)
