Hello!! My name is Irene. My family calls me Rene, pronounced Reenie. I
was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer Stage IIIc, Christmas Eve 2001. You
know it is NEVER good news, when your doctor calls you and says he's
waiting in his office for you, to give you test results! Especially,
when it is a holiday and everyone wants to get home early!! So, on that
day my journey began and here it continues.
Some might say I am fiesty, stubborn, sarcastic, and maybe even a bit
high maintenance!! I can't say that I disagree!!!!!!!!! I am a people
person. I have a huge and compassionate heart. I am extremely
protective of those that I love and care about....play nicely with them
or I bite hard. :) I am not vengeful or bitter. I don't get angry much,
but do get my feelings hurt easily because I am hypersensitive. I
believe if God gave me my angel wings today, I'd be off to heaven
having touched many lives. I like to give advice and help people feel
better about themselves. I like driving but I am terrible at it, and
worse following directions and finding my way around. I am not very
patient, and when I say I have to pee...I REALLY have to pee. :) I have
no tolerance for stupidity or ignorance. I am passionate about
writing,singing, music, dancing,stamping and my nieces, and nephew!!!!
I also enjoy mob movies, football (The Eagles ROCK!!!), and I'm
beginning to know all about bowling. I love photography, especially in
black and white. Van Gogh, Pablo Neruda, Brian Andreas, and Anais Nin
are all some of my favorites. I collect angels, have way too many
shoes....and MUST go whale watching with my sister at least once before
I die!! Gerber daisies are my favorite flower, especially yellow ones.
My favorite perfume is Samsara. I wear glasses, love my cleavage, lips,
and eyes. I have four tattoos and though I'd like a few
more....apparently, I'm done! I like to fall asleep with my window
slightly open, no matter what time of year it is. However, Fall is my
absolute favorite season. I don't mind silence, but I am afraid of the
complete dark. I have a phobia about green beans and spiders as well. I
also have this weird quirk about texture and foods. My sister does too,
so stop making fun of me!! :) I love the smell of fresh baked bread and
men's cologne. My favorite candle is called Midsummer's Night. I still
make snow angels, BUT I'd rather not play in the snow or ski.
Regardless of all my "natural" padding, my tush gets way too cold, too
quickly! I would rather have beautiful flowers sitting on every table
in my home than diamonds. YES, that is the truth!! I appreciate the
simplicity of life ....thunderstorms, butterflies, star gazing,
sunsets, belly laughter, good conversation, friends, family, foods and
dark chocolate. I am hopelessly in love with an amazing man, who
understands me better than I do myself!!!! I am a survivor. I have
learned many lessons the hard way in life. So, I try to live each day
in the moment, for the moment! As odd as this may seem, I thank God for
the obstacles in my life. I would never be able to see the beauty of
life and have such gratitude without first experiencing the tragedy and
pain. Welcome to my world. Please introduce yourself, and stay awhile.
Thanks!!
