Introduction
Hi all. I've been lurking on the site for years, but have recently become more active, so I figure I may as well formally introduce myself. My name is Liz and I am an oncology nurse living in the Midwest. I'm currently in school for my MSN so I can teach nursing. Fun fact, this will be my fourth collegiate degree. Clearly, I'm also nuts. I have a Siamese cat named Ping and a white Boxer named Hudson. I enjoy cooking, going to football games and hanging out with my BF when I have free time.
BF and I have been together for almost two years now. We met on POF, and he is definitely the best guy I have ever known. We have been talking about marriage and kids more and more lately and all of our family and friends are chomping at the bit waiting for us to get engaged. I'm trying to remain calm and patient, however, last week I saw some pics of a ring on his phone, so it has gotten a little more difficult to keep my shit together.
Nice to officially meet all of you 
I've enjoyed the discussion and I hope to get to know y'all better!

Re: Introduction
Nice to meet you! BF and I did the online thing too, and we're at almost two years together!
Care to explain your screen name?
What are you currently reading? What is your favorite travel destination? Do you have a favorite boob? Do you have siblings? How do you like your potatoes?
@lovemyrunner - OKC for us. Just out of school and weren't willing to spend money on finding someone to date, haha. . . I just started running, to do a relay race with some coworkers, and I've realized that doing a marathon would NEVER be worth it for me. I'd just get too bored! haha
Do you play any sports? How much time do you expect to have left in school?
HI and welcome!
What was the best vacation you ever went on?
What's your favorite kind of ice cream?
If you could have one last meal, what would it be?
Actually, I've lately started developing like...dependencies on nurses/doctors lol. I'm terrified of everything my surgeon can do to me, but he like half saved my life a few weeks ago so I really like him. Plus he really likes me because I'm pretty well informed about my diagnosis and whatnot so we have discussions about my issues as opposed to him saying "ok we're going to do this".
Since I don't like needles...and I'm currently grading microbiology papers (I teach bio at a community college)...tell me some awesome science things about yourself:
1) Did you ever know a boob could be popped before yours did?
2) Is grey's anatomy even close to real life? Not the like sex in the closets bit but I dunno, anything? I've been watching it a lot lately.
3) Would you ever eat sushi at a hospital?
I don't watch Grey's so I don't know about that specifically, but usually the healthcare stuff on TV is BS. I drive BF nuts by dissecting the inconsistencies in every TV show and movie we watch. The worst is how nurses are usually portrayed as either dumb or slutty... or both.
love you too boothang! (also hi guys I have never been here before D8)
I'm the fuck out.
My fave too!!! Whyyyyy did you have to remind me there is an open pint in the freezer, which is now calling my name??
And don't worry - I teach nurses before they become nurses so I know they're not all dumb and slutty. Actually, the vast majority of my students this semester are dang good at this science stuff! I do have a rule that none of my past students are allowed to be my nurses though, lol. I'm currently living in a different state than most of them, so that makes it easier thankfully.
I missed this on Friday, so hi and welcome!
I am athletically challenged too...you can be on my team
What is your least favorite food? How do you like your potatoes? What would you do if you won the lottery?
