About me

Gender Female
Occupation Stay at home mom
Location Vancouver Island, Canada
Introduction I'm a wife and mother first, then a friend, sister, daughter, cousin... I come from a family of four kids, three girls then a boy. I am the middle girl - the forgotten one... I have been married since 2000, and have an 8 year old son and a 3 year old daughter. They are what gets me out of bed every morning - literally, usually by jumping on me ;)
Interests Most of my interests have been forgotten while I raise my two children, but pre-kids I LOVED to travel. We spend a lot of time at the beach, going for walks, and one of my all time favorites - shopping. I dabble in a little on-line gaming... OK, I'm addicted, shhh, dont tell anyone ;)
Favorite Movies Apocalypto, Sahara, I am a sucker for the odd chick-flick, hmm so many to list...
Favorite Music I like a little of everything
Favorite Books Gone with the Wind, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Girl with the Pearl Earing, If it gets me with the first sentance I won't put it down until it's finished.

How do you pronounce the 'g' in bologna?

like the 'g' in go. I pronounce bologna like bol-og-na :) I am very straightforward, if there's a g in it I say guh. (unless there's an h beside it) As a mother who is teaching her son how to read I have a new found hatred for the English language. Try explaining to a 6 year old why live sounds different than live. Grrr
