CURRENT MISSION

I work hard and play hard. I'm in the mountains as much as possible. And I canoe now, and bought a house so am a homebody sorta-- still get out, but not like I used to!

ABOUT ME

I am becoming an RN. Nursing school keeps me pretty busy, as does my 12 year old son, dog, and 2 cats. I am vice president of Tech's running club, and run about 20 miles a week.
Hurt my back Nov 2011 and had to stop running. I drink about 20 beers a week (no!) now instead! I am an RN, and a licensed foster parent. I am married now, and a grandma to an adorable baby boy born march 2012.
I still have the same dog and 2 cats, as well as 2 hampsters.

PHILOSOPHY

Devil spelled backwards is "lived".

Body, mind, and spirit have to mesh. So be well, do good work, and keep in touch!

I like this! Lately my quote/philosophy is "All good things are wild and free" (thoreau) and "it is the invariable mark of wisdom to see the miraculous in the common" (emerson)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I forgot about this account and started another one. Tehre was a sorta snippy French couple who stayed with me and asked me how long I'd been on CS

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none thus far! Not formally, at any rate.
I have hosted lots, and surfed none. My other/more updated account is under code name Woopsadaisy or something like that.

兴趣

Mountaineering, health, fitness, running, being real, having fun.
Still do this. Also I am into swiftwater rescue, canoe camping and river trails, as well as hanging wiht my now widowed mom and my son and his baby. My husband is my best friend.

音乐、电影和书籍

I watch movies, love music, and read occassionally. Mostly novels, in the summer.
This is still true. I sing a lot, to the baby, and just at work goofing around.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Most recently, I got to see a semi go skidding off the Homestake Pass! It stradled the median and rode it the way skateboarders ride handrails! Quite a site!
It really was-- and they have fixed that median now-- made it taller.
One really cool thing I got to do recently was sail across the atlantic with my mom Jan 2012, and live for a month in Venice Italy with her.

教，学，和分享

Sometimes, a brain injury can work out well for a person!
I'm really into health and our bodies and being in our bodies on the planet! Amazing stuff!
The friend with the brain injury who wasn't a very nice man before the injury but became really a sweet lamb afterwards, I'm sad to say, has totally gone off the deep end with conspiracy theories and paranoia. I think he's probably schizo, maybe even before the injury.
Being in my body on the planet is still good, but now I also like to be in my brain and on the planet. I push myself less hard, and like to just take it easy and watch, and absorb, and enjoy.... :)
