    I book and run events for the City of Seattle - have been there coming up on 32 years. Ran almost all rock concerts for about 12 years, then went part time when we started a family and stayed PT since - family shows, opera, ballet, conventions, dog shows, rock concerts, festivals, presidential visits marathon, etc.

    I'm thinking I could be sewing! But these are so interesting!

    I'm an RN. Hospital/bedside nursing is my thing though I did home health (and loved it) for several years while I lived in San Diego. My current job (for the past 14 years) is night shift on a solid organ transplant unit. Nights is starting to wear me down but the pay is excellent and how else am I gonna afford fabric?
