Hello all.
I posted a profile to the singles area and DC invited me to come over here and say hello to you all - so hello.
A little about myself -
About 6 years ago, I moved from the dismal state of NJ to sunny Florida. I originally settled in Tampa, which was a quick 50 minute drive from the World. As much as I loved living in Florida, I absolutely hated Tampa and wanted to find a place that reminded me of home without actually having to go back to NJ. Fast forward about 3 years and I settled in Port Charlotte, FL. Now, it's about another hour away from Disney (and only on the drive home do I realize how much that extra hour sucks), but the benefits of living here outweighed the extra driving to my favorite place. I even considered moving to Orlando or one of the surrounding areas just to be closer to Disney, but then that winter it snowed in Orlando. So, no thank you, and further south I went.
I have a BS in Psychology (a BS, right? I mean how fitting considering Psychology is mostly BS!

) with a specialization in substance abuse. I've recently switched roles at my job and went from being directly involved with patient care to more administrative. I miss the patients, but I have an opportunity to improve the care they receive by taking this new position. So, even though I don't have direct contact with them anymore, I make sure they are getting the best care they can receive. I still do group sessions and fill in for other counselors, so I get my fix now and then.
I'm a single mother to a 9 year old. He makes me crazy, but I can't imagine my life without him. He's always up to go to Disney whenever I ask and now that he's tall enough, I have someone to ride all the rides with. If only I could get him to sit down and have a meal, but that will come with time. Until then, it's quick service for us, lol.
My Disney obsession started when I was 16. I have yet to find anyone else in my family or among my friends who share my devotion to the Disney brand. I always get the "it's just a theme park" response. It's hard when people you care about just don't get it, but you want them to share in your joy. That's why I've decided my next partner in life must absolutely be a fan of Disney or be able to fake it really well.
I look forward to meeting some of you and I thank you for taking the time to get to know me.
