It's my mess...

If you're reading My Fabulous Mess and you're wondering who this woman who's rambling on is, let me tell you some stuff about me...

I'm in my mid-twenties and I've just headed back to school to start a nursing career.

Right after I graduated high school, after some really confusing and hastily made decisions, I went to Duquesne University, where I graduated from in 2002 with a BS in Secondary Education and a BS in English. I made a half assed attempt at getting a teaching job, meaning I posted my resume on PA Educator and got two offers for a temporary subbing position.

I quit the retail job I had all through college and took a job with the company my dad works for, and independant auditing firm based out of Kansas. It's not so bad, but not fulfilling enough in any way to do for the rest of my life.

I had to make a decision. Either I work two jobs for the rest of my life, move across the county and get a cushy teaching job, or find something to do in Pittsburgh. I love this city, I love my family, and leaving was never an option.

So, I opted to go to nursing school. I was scared at first that the decision was hasty, but through a lot of length discussions with my friends and my mom, after asking for a lot of prayer, and after getting a few really clear signs, I decided that I really wanted to go to nursing school.

My dream is to write a novel someday, it's been something I've wanted to do since I could spell.

I have the best group of friends a girl could ask for. There's a tight knit circle of fabulous women around me, each of whom brings something different to my life. I get all the love, support, intellectual stimulation, and fun I could ever need from my girls.

I'm single. I've had one really serious relationship in my life that just naturally ended a few years ago. I reached the point a long time ago where I could look back and be glad it happened, but the ex just recently got there. He's in Iraq now, doing what he always wanted to do and I'm here, alone, happy and getting my shit together.

I'm a pretty open person, I'll answer any question you might have as long as it's not too inappropriate or vulgar.

If there's anything you want to know about the woman whose life is A Fabulous Mess, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks for reading,

Jen
