pour a big glass of wine, and relax (you, too, ladies)

So, I am venturing away from the my space blog, and trying my hand at this one, huh? This is supposed to be in lieu of me keeping a journal, which I always start with the best intentions, but never follow through on. Maybe, this will work for me.
For those of you that are strangers to me, here is a brief description of life so far. I live in Northern California, and work as an ICU nurse, a job I love most of the time, with moments of "why did I pick this career?" thrown in. Why did I pick nursing, you ask? I still don't know. After four years in the Navy, nursing seemed like a wise decision. I can support myself to the style in which I am accustomed to, so I have no complaints. I am 37 years old, and single. One marriage, a long time ago, that failed, mainly do to being youthfully stupid. It happens, I'm over it.
Right now, I am enjoying a glass of red wine, (7 Deadly Zins, if anyone is keeping score.) I was hoping for a Malbec or Sangiovese, but I guess I drank those. In any case, the Zin is fine. In the background, the Craig Ferguson show is playing ( I love TiVo), hence the "you too, ladies." I have a great family, and 2 of the best friends a girl could ask for, so, life is good.
Nothing too exiting happened to me today, unless you are interested in how I put beads into a blanket I am knitting. If you are, send me a line. I learned a great, new easy trick that involves a dental floss holder, the bead, and some yarn.
