About me

Gender Female
Industry Non-Profit
Occupation Stay-at-home Mommy
Location Deux-Montagnes, Quebec, Canada
Introduction Been living in Deux-Montagnes, QC, Canada (suburbs west of St-Eustache) for over 8 yrs now, we moved from my little semi-detached house I bought for myself in 2002 to a 2-storey cottage in the same neighbourhood in 2008. I got married September 3/06 to a very handsome, sweet 'computer geek' (affectionate reference!). We met at work a few yrs ago & by some miracle ended up being fated 2B with each other! Worked for over 15 yrs in the capacity of 'administrative assistant' in some form or another, in various industries, including telecommunications, food distribution, software development, litigation/commercial law, non-profit/medical field, printing, large accounting firm - now on indefinate hiatus taking care of my 1 yr old preemie (born at 32 wks). Would love to go back to school 1 day, and/or end up doing something creative like writing -- yrs of being submerged in the corporate world, supporting myself & enjoying a decent life have basically suffocated most of my creative being.
Interests My beautiful baby boy, ''Mommy Stuff'', ie. cloth diapering, homemade organic baby food, Mom & Baby courses, stroller walks in nice weather; Hangin' out & chillin' with friends, spending time with my family (& the cutest little kid in the world, my nephew Simon Liam!) reading, watching my shows, movies, cuddling with my Shawny, missing my departed cat Floffy who was the love of my life, playing with our new kitty Shadow & trying to teach him to be a good kitty, not a psycho kitty, photography, cooking healthy meals, keeping up with current events (surfing the Net, reading 24 hres), listening to the latest dance & hiphop tunes (CKOI rocks, to all of you who diss the French stations!), attending social/cultural events, clothes shopping
Favorite Movies The Hangover, 40-year Old Virgin ('those guys are cool', 'argghhh - KELLY CLARKSON!'), Wedding Crashers, Chasing Amy, Cruel Intentions, Ford Fairlane, Blow, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Studio 54, Gossip, Meet the Parents, Some Kind of Wonderful, Almost Famous, When Harry Met Sally, Pulp Fiction, Austin Powers - The Spy Who Shagged Me, Legends of the Fall, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, Kalifornia, Grumpy Old Men & Grumpier Old Men, I am sure there are other faves I have too....

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?
