About Me

Although I have been told on countless occasions that my name is particularily cheesy.. take it up with my parents. They're the ones that bestowed that delightful moniker on me. But hey, you go with what you've got, right?
I'm the (another?) girl that gave up therapy for a 6 string and decided to work out my issues that way. Although, if it serves to ease or exacerbate the situation(s).. I'll never know for sure. At least I live in a concrete building so my neighbors aren't subject to me repeatedly playing out verses and choruses trying to figure out exactly what it is I'm trying to say.
Growing up in the deep hicksville of eastern Canada - my family members of a well known bluegrass group, I hauled tail to the city as soon as I could, only to find myself jingle singing and lending a voice to a number of cover bands. I quickly learned that I was happier singing songs about the guy who gave me butterflies or the girl that was trying to stand in our way than trials and tribulations in the words of others.. so here I am.

Life is still pretty wall to wall busy. A kind (and cute) soul decided to lend me a hand in organizing my apartment. I did point out that I've been there fewer than 45 waking moments a day...

The art of nothing...

Ah, the bliss of having a free day. I enjoyed catching up on a couple of episodes of one of my favourite shows and had a long (too long, I was pruney) bubble bath. Free time rocks! M...
