About meLove my family. My husband and I have been married for 20 years and we have two young men. I became a grandmother on May 12, 2009 when my oldest son's girlfriend had a bouncing baby boy.
Love my pets, Clyde who is my cat. Bones who is my dog.
I work in a hospital for the anesthesia department. I love to read(duh!), go camping, ride motorcycles and listen to music. I also enjoy traveling, mainly cruising and singing with radio, loudly, and badly.Create your own visitor map!

"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." — Siddhārtha Gautama

About my libraryI used to only catalogue books that I have read but LT is an addiction and like all addictions you must feed it. Now I have added a wish list tag for the books that I want to read and don't own and an unread tag for the unread but owned books. I don't usually buy a lot of books because I support my local libraries and used bookstores. I also have a lot of friends with the same tastes so we swap a lot. I give my books away, donate the hardbacks to the library for their sales and sell some to the used book store when I am done reading them. I only keep the very meaningful ones.

I can read about anything but I am very interested in the paranormal and the disturbed mind.(my husband things I'm crazy, HAHA) Also a good bodice ripper is a great way to pass the time!!
