My name is Ann and I currently live in Phoenix, Arizona. I grew up in Wisconsin, lived in Colorado during my 20s, then back to Madison-Wisconsin, then to Minneapolis MN, and finally here. One of my favorite cities ever, btw, is Amsterdam...I adore the Netherlands to no end and am so envious that you live there

!
My hubby is Tony and we've been married almost 8 years...he is a really wonderful, supportive hubs. We don't have skin kids, but love having our furkids -- Wylie Flupiter Fitzsmudge, Marcel Verdel Purcell, and Pfeiffer.
My bachelor degree was in nursing, but I'm not currently practicing. I used to manage a clinic, then I went to work for a fortune 500 company that made biotech...I worked with our pacemaker and defibrillator clients...that job taught me I don't like big business, even though I did it for 7 years, lol! Then I moved to Phoenix w/ my hubs to open a branch of his firm here - so I worked with his firm for about 5 years.
I'm not working right now (love it!), but I do work at home running a little side eBay biz. I also paint (acrylics mostly or mixed media), dabble in photography, collect jewelry, and am interested in a zillion other things. I love learning about random anythings.
The qualities I love in people are open minds, tolerance, kindness, compassion, honesty, loyalty, humor, and intelligence -- and I see those qualities all the time here, which keeps me coming back for more!
