As JLo said on her most recent hit, "Let me Introduce myself, to the party people."

Aloha. Oh my. Where do I start, with my first blog entry? What do I say that's witty, indepth and captivating enough to keep people visiting and reading? That is the goal, right? Or maybe this just some sort of therapy for me. I'm going to assume people are dying to read what I have to say and what I think. Well this blog would not be possible without a few special people and situations that can not go unacknowledged!! I would like to thank the fact I moved out of state from VA where I've lived all my life, to  come to AZ for my hubs. I'd also thank the fact I have no friends here. This greatly contributes to the birth of this blog.  Couldn't have done it without ya, zero friends! Also a large factor is that Brian has been gone for two weeks for military training and left immediately after we moved in. You can imagine the sense of stability that gave me! Oh! And not to be forgotten! The small issue that I tore my meniscus. Let me tell you how fabulous the timing of this is.  Well. I'm supposed to go fly back to VA (thank GOD) in a couple weeks to dance my ass off for our wedding reception. Probably not happening unless I continue very painful hydrocoristone injections into my knee.  Which I'm going to do. Because dance my ass off, I will!! Also, just recieving a high paying nursing position, then having to inform them..."wait...syyyke, I can't start yet...I kinnndda need some surgery. No big deal, right, Nursing Supervisor? Oh, it's not ok? You want me right away bc you're understaffed like hell at the prison?" Shitttt.  Welp.  Looks like I'll be spending a little more time on my tushy resting my knee and celebrating nightly with a pity party. At least most parties have wine. To get back on track, all these contributing factors i'd like to say, THANK YOU! Without you and these series of events, this blog would not be here for you to read today.   If you're still unsure of what i'm doing here, and what to expect let me give you a few examples:
-A guy ran a red light and almost hit me, but had the nerve to flick me off for some reason as he passed my nearly destroyed jeep...I'm going to rant on that. Whatta jerk.
-I'm a nurse that will probably starting a job at a correctional facility soon, and the inmates are more polite and well behaved than I thought...have I been biased or do I need to realize I could be getting manipulated so they can create a friendship w/ me and then take advantage?  Or maybe they're minding their own business and it just happened to be those particular individuals that acted appropriately and the next group of guys will be total dicks? II'll have lots of reflections, comparisons and thoughts like this.
If you're looking for bitchy rants, some introspective thoughts, and maybe even a cool recipe or a DIY project I felt like sharing...look no further my friends. Look no further. And, welcome :)
