About Me

Well, what can I tell ya? I have a happy life in a happy little town. I've been married for 15 years and have a set of 10 year old fraternal twin boys who look remarkably like Skipper n' Gilligan. I am "a little left of centre" at times so you can never tell just what I'm gonna do or say next. Hell, I don't even know half the time. If you actually want to correspond with me, I'll be happy to add you as a friend. If you are merely collecting people for your friend portfolio, you can just keep on truckin'.

My Interests

I really enjoy all things DIY, and I'm fairly creative. I like to make things. I'm interested in nutrition and fitness. I eat cleanly and try to prevent the condition I call "Spread-Ass" from happening. . . . . . . Toot-Tone

I'd like to meet:

Other like-minded, slightly bent individuals . . . . .

Music:

Mainly classic rock but lean towards grunge sometimes, a bit of metal, touch of blues, etc. Don't like rap, hip-hop, dance, country, r&b, thrasher, or that bubblegum stuff. I have absolutely no musical talent whatsoever save for my 4 note range but within those 4 notes, I'm brilliant I tell you, brilliant!

Movies:

. .Conspiracy stuff always pulls me in. Don't care for slapstick (if I can see the joke coming, it's just not funny) or shoot 'em ups. No intelligence in those ones most of the time. I like stuff that stays knocking around in my brain for days afterwards. I don't go for the chickflicks or the sobfests.

Television:

I'm a Trekker. Yes, I actually admit it. One time I even went to ST convention as the hockey card show was next door and hubby really wanted to go to that. I killed time at the Star Trek show and lemme tell ya; you just haven't lived until Klingons have hit on you. Seriously; full battle regalia, business cards, language lessons...the Full Monty, baby! I laughed until I thought my eyes were gonna pop out of my head. I also get into Corner Gas (Cdn show), e.r., Desperate Housewives, Puppets that Kill (another Cdn show)and any type of handyman, decorating, real estate or building show that happens to be on. Documentaries about space are also cool. Yup, I lean towards the geeky side of the scale. . . . . Headcrusher Vs Facepincher

Books:

Murder mysteries (always lured by the promise of a corpse), historical fiction, Uncle John's bathrooom reader series, conspiracy plots, and how-to's. No Harlequins or anything with some Fabio type on the cover. Blech.

It's been about a year since we moved here (July 1st) and it's been great. The kids are very happy & have made many new friends. They actually enjoyed school (what nerds, eh?) and did ...

Hey, it doesn't suck!

As most of you know, I have a new job. It's not the "career-building" job I have been aiming for. It's not even full-time. In fact, I may as well be in high school as I am ...

Someone needs a-killin' and his name's Murphy.

So, there I was on Saturday, happy in the knowledge that I would be politely telling the Supe that I was outta there at the end of the week. It was perfect timing because my paycheques so ...

Stick that fork in 'cos I'm sooo done.

No surprise here...Well, I gave it an honest shot and I'm terribly disappointed with my first foray back into the world of full-time employment. I've put in a month at the cesspool and I c...

Cesspool update

I've been at the new job for just over a week now and I have let it be known in no uncertain terms what my opinion of the place is. From across the room in the banks department, some guy called ...

Ha Ha, the joke's on me!

Okay, remember how I described my new office? Very upscale, tasteful and attractive. I have so far avoided say what the job is because it's one of those types when you hear it, y...

Rubbing my hands in glee

What a great day! I had to take the bus into downtown Hamilton today to register the flm's for the YMCA's after-school care program as I start my new gig on Monday. I have never been right...

Take my teacups...PLEASE!

Many years ago, I was given a beautiful cup and saucer from my grandmother's collection. It was just like her; refined and elegant, regal and tasteful. A few years later, I was given&...
