[LAURIE]

I am a general manager for a nationwide (and canada) clothing retail store. I went on disability when I first started chemo in Sept. since I stand on my feet for most of my 8 hour shifts. I am anxious to get back to work soon (about 7 weeks). My husband does not work due to mental illnesss, so I need to go back to work for the health care and the money. We had been trying to have kids for years, and supplement having no kids for 2 dogs and 5 cats. I really enjoy reality programming, cards (spades, canasta, hand and foot), swimming, bicycle riding, playing Dance, Dance revolution (good exercise)and playing Wii video games. I am also a huge U2 fan!!! I am the youngest of five kids in my family. I met my husband my first semester in college (1989). He has really enjoyed having me at home since this "challenge" came our way. I have realized how lazy he is and how he is okay mentally to get a job. Ha!! He said he is sick of me nagging him all the time now. He has gone to every single appointment, etc... and he is nice to look at. I guess it's good I still think he is still a hottie. I have to go play cards with my parents, thanks for starting this link.....
