I wish I were a fish, a swishing in the water - I'd do the things I wanted to and not the things I o

About Me

Occassionally I go through fits of insanity. Truthfully, it doesn't take much to drive me over the edge. I'm just getting quite good at hiding it. You've been warned.

My Interests

Cycling is a passion of mine despite rarely finding time to do it. Puns, stupid jokes and cheesy riddles make me laugh. Flush toilets make me happy. I love drinking water. I like searching for four leaf clovers while lying on my stomach in the grass. Rolling UP hills. Driving into the sunset. The sound of a lawnmower. Music I can wiggle to. Making someone laugh. Swearing in German and Swedish. Laughing at myself. Singing along to songs even if I don't know the words. Smelling nice. Mass emails to friends and family. The smell of Johnson's Baby Shampoo. The way eyes change colour when the sunset is reflected in them. Sneaking into movie theatres. Upclose self-portrait photos. Making lists and losing them. Playing cards and Kubb. Being an auntie to 2 and a half dozen cuties. Sharing a glass of wine (or three) with friends. Googling long lost friends. A good cry.

I'd like to meet:

You or possibly your friends.

Music:

I usually like what I hear. If I don't like it I usually stop listening.

Movies:

If it can make me laugh, cry, giggle, jump, or just entertain me for a couple of hours, I'll probably like it.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, LOST, ER, House, Heroes, Ugly Betty, Hockey Night In Canada, the News, Olympic coverage when it is on, and funny commercials all make me warm and fuzzy inside. HBO's Six Feet Under was pretty fantastic, too.

Books:

I love to read. Finding the time to do so, though, can be difficult. As geeky as it sounds, I've always wanted to join a book club. I will one day. Even if I'm the only member.

Heroes:

When I'm not too busy trying to believe in myself, I remember Bea - my aunt and godmother - she fought T-Cell Lymphoma and was incredibly strong despite losing the battle. She's a hero to me.

My Blog

Are you kidding me?

I've gotten some really fabulous (just a hint of sarcasm here) messages from strangers across the world (gotta love myspace - no one is left behind - even if they should be)... but this one, well, jus...

Schfitzing

I'm not Jewish, nor do I really speak Yiddish, but this happens to be one of my favourite words and it also happens to be what I did all day. Aren't you glad I shared?

Day 2

Today we celebrated Day 2 of Happy Holly Week.  A wee bit too much champagne, Breakfast at Tiffany's, pj's, and cookies.  I'm exhausted.  And as Holly so nicely put - it's only day 2. ...

Hmmm. It has suddenly become a bit addictive.  I don't want to become one of those internet crazy people who do nothing but blog and update their photos and post messages on peoples' "walls" and...

off leash

This past Thursday my parents sold their condo. Today, Friday, they got a call saying that the buyer has cancelled.  The reason?  The complex's bylaws state that pets must be kept on ...
