About Me


Blurbs? OK...lets make up crap to say on my site. It's been a blank page for so long.
My husband calls me a "swirly girly" because everything around me is about swirls and curls. Out of all the sisters, and there are 4 of us, I am told I am "the level headed, flowery one." I personally would have to say I'm the "one who looks like the guy from Aerosmith."
I purposely try not to smile too wide so that my "Aerosmiths" don't show.
(FYI-"Aerosmiths" are those dimples in your face that stick out in a big way making you look kinda manish...which is a nicer way of saying it's like "falling out of the ugly tree and hitting every branch on the way down".)

So yeah....I occasionally tend to have some MINOR "low self esteem issues" but I cover it up with sarcasm and a dash of humour. My theory is cut yourself down first so that others have no where to...and I like the fact that I can make fun of myself.
But I try to hide it whenever I can it because it is hard enough to raise a daughter in this day and age without her learning bad stuff from me! That's why it's all on here....Yaaayyy!
Sometimes I can be quite shy and other times I just blurt out whatever comes to mind. I will give most people a chance but I will hold grudge forever if one irks me the wrong way. I am VERY protective of my kids but I guess that's just human nature. I am worried that I can totally picture myself being arrested for doing something stupid in their defense...cause if you won't fight for your kids...who will?
I keep my emotions guarded and will go to great lengths to cover them up...like with that stupid game my sisters play where they watch stupid sad country music videos and listen to stupid sad songs (mostly country) to see who will be stupid enough to cry first, by which time you are so depressed you want to be run over by a stupid yellow Hummer which is STUPID, so you just keep saying everything is stupid so that nobody will know that it's actually breaking your heart! Then you go home and listen to sad songs because after being so bummed, you actually find them uplifting.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


I don't know...probably the gum guys from the Extra commercials...but only the peppermint one!!!

No...wait, maybe Dory from Finding Nemo...but I doubt that, after all she's a cartoon fish. I think it would be cool to meet Ellen Degeneres though.

As for this MySpace thing..honestly, the anonymity of people on the internet SCARES me! It's like that whole box of chocolates thing...you never know what you are going to get. You hope that it's coffee cream but there's a chance its that really gross white gooey stuff that doesn't taste so good.

I get freaked out whenever I get a message like "Amber Lee Stone wants to be your friend" You look it up and it says it's some 30 year old girl who also likes rocks, but you can't shake the fact that it really could be a 45 year old, cross-dressing, multiple murderer looking for his next victim, so your butt freezes and you can't breathe.

So for the most part I just put this page up for the fun of it and to make my sisters laugh.


But seriously, I live with my husband and my two kids which are my life. In fact I think I may have forgotten what I was like to "just be me."
I DO know that:

  • I married my high school sweetheart.


  • My favorite colour is blue.


  • Life isn't always fair.


  • I am terrified of spiders...big or small...I hate them all.


  • My sisters are my best friends.


  • There is, unfortunately, such a thing as legal murder...and I think Matt knows it.


  • My kids help me to rediscover my "child within" but make me feel old at the same time.


  • Doctor's are just people and don't have all the answers...and some are just plain stupid.


  • I am spiritual, but not religious.


  • It is most likely that guys who drive yellow Hummers are over compensating for something...perhaps they get their hair cut at a salon called "Blossom." {GRIN}

    My favorite symbol is the triskele.
    • ..

  • I like to quote movie lines. Especially Jared Hess films.
    "I ate some bugs...I ate some grass. I used my hand...to wipe my tears...."


  • Cheesecake is my downfall...especially New York style which my husband will sometimes bring home late at night so that we don't have to share with the kids who only eat the strawberries and whipped cream but leave the munged up cheesecake behind...grrrrr!


  • Having kids makes you realize how short and precious life is...and how expensive they are.


  • I HATE Hot Wheels and grown men who collect them really annoy me. Sorry guys. But if there is anyone else who has a bigger issue than me with my Steven Tyler likeness...it's guys that need to "collect the whole set" and go to great lengths to do it...even crying like a little girl when they don't get the ones they want! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!


  • Mother nature's power over us frightens me.


  • Trident is recommended by four out of five dentists for their patients who chew gum, but Extra has commercials with those really cool "gum guys" running marathons.



  • Songs get stuck in my head WAY to easy.


  • "Dude Looks Like a Lady" is about Vince Neil and NOT about me...hahaHAHAHAAAA!


  • One of my childhood nicknames was "Charlie" but unfortunately I was named after the Starkist tuna guy.
    Sorry Charlie!


  • "Nyree" is really spelt "Ngaire".


  • My most cherished possessions are mementos from my kids childhoods.


  • Strawberry yogurt makes pennies shiny again.


  • Even though I have never seen a ghost before...saying the word apparition to myself while walking around the house in the middle of the night, in the dark, scares the crap out of me!

    The best fun to have at a party is some Smirnoffs, evening gowns, a food fight and a Slip "N" Slide.


  • The only reason I still have this page is becasue I like to make things pretty and I could put my favorite Neverending White Lights video on it...and to see if you would actually sit there and read the whole thing.


    • And finally...

  • that if reading my page made you laugh...then I'm laughing with you.

    So where did everybody go? I admit it...I too have fallen under the 'FaceHook' mass mentality. I come on this page do, although very rarely. I am sure this Facebook thing is just a fad like every othe...

    Unfortunate advertising

    Saw this on the way home from school one day....  His name was actually Hanus but the post was in the way from this angle. All I can say is BUMMER...   This is one from a little while ago...

    Mad at Matt and still not done! (offensive, disgusting and mildly insane)

    Day of the Dumb Ass Decided he needed his own spot on my blog because of the sheer and utter hatred I'm feeling for him. I usually try to make light of the Matt thing but today I am just so angry at h...
