About Me

Where to start? I am so many things to so many people but the bottom line is that I am just trying to get through my journey with some small iota of grace and compassion. I'd like to change the world but I'd also like to own a VW bug. Hopefully those things won't be mutually exclusive. I am a daughter, a sister, a friend, a feminist, a lover, a psychology graduate, a counsellor, and a nutcase all rolled into one. I can be many things, good and bad, and you just need to spend some time with me to find it out for yourself.

A copious amount of people but I know that I will meet everyone that I am supposed to so I will just be patient and act on what opportunities I get.

Television:

Friends, Survivor, mindless game shows and reality shows. I watch frivolous things that rot the brain but are good for a laugh. Cindy now forces me to watch Sex and the City on dvd and I think I am going to have a Dawson's Creek relapse soon. If I had HBO I would probably watch more TV. I am also recently and hopelessly addicted to Lost.

Anything by Margaret Atwood (especially Oryx and Crake, Robber Bride, Edible Woman, Cat's Eye and Lady Oracle), anything on the Enneagram, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, White Oleander by Janet Finch(as embarrassing as it is to admit- Oprah picked some darn good books), Mister Sandman by Barbara Gowdy, The Diviners by Margaret Laurence, What's Bred in the Bone by Robertson Davies, anything psychology related that I tend to dabble in (topics ranging from things like suicide, multiple personalities, birth order, aggression, etc), and just about anything else I pick up since I am a book whore.

Heroes:

Strong Women.

My humble critique of a worldwide bestseller...

I held back for 3 and a half years and didn't buy into the hype but a couple months ago I was purchasing some other stuff on Amazon.ca and they were selling the paperback for $5. I thought to my...

first update in ages

Yeah, this will probably be brief. Right now we are doing this big detox cleanse of our bodies. It is excrutiating in most ways but we are on day 15 (of 21) so I think I might get through....

Muddled and mixed up...

Things have been busy here lately and I rarely see Matt which makes me sad. Also all this rain and gloom isn't helping. I went to Vegreville for awhile to help set Sharron's business up- w...
