job search....
Didn't take (or get for that matter) the BIG scary job at the UMCG. Decided it wasn't for me. Lord...after 25yrs of nursing, do I really want to run my feet off and be stressed all over the place..NOPE!!...so the search continues....
Here's a photo of me in my glory-days...after a few beers coming home on the train from Oxford...WOW! young and fresh...those were the days. All these years in Holland have taken a toll on my sense of style AND on my hair, which is mostly a fuzz-ball on the top of my head. There's no fighting the rain and humidity...that's why Dutch women have these icky buzz0cuts...and the young pretty blond teens gel their pony-tails tightly to their heads..the dreaded fuzz....
Off once again to Leeuwarden to school. Really have NO desire to grace the hallowed-Halls of Noordelijk Hogeschool once again, but I digress....Decided to be generous and give my Richard-Geer look-alike professor a bottle of wine for his guidance. I really believe he helped me in my persuit of this degree...and plus, he's cute as hell.
On the verge of a BIG life decision....do I leave my nice, cushy job with the "oldies" to persue bigger (read=more€€€€) and better things??? Have an opportunity at "startuitzendbureau"...an employment agency where I had my first job opportunity 5 yrs ago. They are offering me all sorts of things...what to do? what to do????

Mona-Pudding
My first blog-entry. And what better to start with than my sweet Yorkie, Pudding. Here he is...all 4 yrs old and what a dondersteen! He's my pal...
A bit over me....I'm a 46yo woman who made the BIG move to the Netherlands (for loooove) in 2001 and have just managed to graduate from a HBO nursing program with a Bachelor of Nursing...no easy feat all in Dutch!
I'm married to Jan, an archivist, chef and cookbook collector extrordinaire. Besides for Pudding, we have another Yorkie, Kevin...15yo this year and Dropje, our chunky Cairn terrier.
2 cats, Mollie and Smeesha make up the crown in our little Dutch house on the Tiendlanden.
