About Me

What can I say to catch someone's attention? I am a young mother of two girls, one teenager and one toddler. I got married this past September and '05 was my year to be a princess. Finally, it has happened to me! We just bought our first house in Hamilton, Ontario, and I am trying to make new friends and get involved. I love to take care of my family and my home, and I have currently begun a job with a local financial group. I also have my own home-based business where I create custom, one-of-a-kind jewellery and accessories for weddings, special events and just because! I call it ABSOLUTELY BEADIFUL! hehehe Cheesy pun, but I love it! I got into making jewellery in order to add to my own collection, but I've found I have some talent, and so it was only natural to branch out and start doing it for others. Bead stores are better than candy stores! I love to write. I love to read. I love to play with words and create magic. I love to pinpoint exactly my meaning, or emotion or description. I want friends that talk about real things, life, love and all the in-between adventures. And laughter. There must be laughter!!! There is nothing like a good sense of humour to please me. I love to joke, to pun, to play. I like to be silly, intelligent, and even slightly bawdy. I take pleasure in wit, yet am impressed with the ability to be less than serious. I am a Taurus, so I love beauty. I treasure it, horde it, want it around me always. My house is my playground, my inspiration for colour palettes and fabrics and oh the thrill of finding the right position for the couch. (yes... I am definitely a geek as well... :) I love house music, and techno and groovy beats, but only the good stuff... LOL Used to party before the baby, now we are just mellow. I have no idea if this will interest anyone at all, this little ditty I have written, but I sure am interested in meeting people. :) I hope I haven't sounded either too boring or too strange..... :) but if I have, well then, perhaps it's just what will attract the friends I want to have... *smile* Come see me at www.absolutelybeadiful.com!!*grinMyspace For Girls Only - MyGirlySpace.com

You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.

Which religion is the right one for you? (new version)
created with QuizFarm.com

Music:

huge range here.... let's start with good old fashioned house.... slick and sexy beats played on huge speakers at peak levels... the right techno, no cheese, minimalistic beats... R&B if it's smooth and sexy, something to lay down with your lover in front of a fire with.... something that goes down like red wine. I love old jazz and blues, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole..... I love old swing music and can enjoy big band, if it's the right stuff at the right time. I like female crooners of all ages, Sarah MacLaughlin, Enya, Diana Krall... if she's got a voice, bring it on. I love rock, reggae, 70's and 80's music, the Beatles.... there really is too much to list here. I love the choice pieces of all genres, really.... to me, my taste is impeccable! LOL

Movies:

If it makes you feel something, I like it. I have a love of subtitled movies, such as Amelie, Like water For Chocolate, Barbarian Invasions, just to name a few. Life Is Beautiful, so lovely. I guess it depends on my mood. Sometimes I just want braincandy that has no meaning, gives no lessons and is basically just a filler, but in general I like work with thought, wit and ingenuity.

Television:

It's mostly all crap but I still can't help myself from watching it........ like McDonald's french fries.. so bad for me but o how I can't resist.....frankly, I'd rather read a book, anyhow

Books:

Now here is a section I could really fill, and my head is bursting with titles and authors and prose and my love of words and I could go on and on and on. All-time favourite novels were the Earth's Children series by Jean M. Auel. The Clan of the Cave Bear, The Valley of Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, The Plains of Passage and The Shelters of Stone. The reasons are numerous, but I started reading them at 12 years old, and I learned so much about life, humanity, love, sex (and good sex too), history. These books have played an interesting part in my life. I named my daughter after the heroine, sequels came out at the beginning of each of my pregnancies, and I made a connection with one of my best friends simply because our daughters were both named after that particular heroine. The list goes on. Fionavar Tapestries made my heart bleed and cry; o woe is the star-crossed lover. Speaking of, I love Shakespeare, particularly The Taming of the Shrew and Romeo and Juliet (see, I'm such a sucker for the heart-wrenching star-crossed lover tales)! I loved The English Patient and o so many more. I even like Playgirl.... but I only buy it for the articles... ;) LOL I devour books. I have always enjoyed Anne Rice, both her Vampire Chronicles and The Witching Hour series. I pore over my beading magazines, like Bead and Button and BeadStyle. I am completely inspired. Again, the spectrum here is large, and nearly impossible to narrow it down to a few key books. I was caught at the age of six under my covers late one night reading a grade twelve textbook by the light of a flashlight, so I don't really remember a time when I was not a reader. It's a part of who I am. :)

Heroes:

My husband, John!!!!! Without a doubt, or a pause for thought. He is truly my hero, for loving me so well, and always standing by my side. For working so damn hard to be supportive to me and our family, and for being such a beautiful person. After nearly nine years of being together, he still makes my heart pound in anticipation that he is coming home. We are each other's best friends. We love to be with each other, as much as possible. I know, I'm lucky. And yes, this is ice cream sprinkled with sugar and honey, dripping in nasty sweetness, but o well! On this page, I am allowed to go on and on and on..... :) This man possesses the kindest heart, the strongest nature, I respect him like no other. A heart of genuine goodness, that few of us can say we have one like. You rock my world, John. I thank the Universe and Powers That Be for you...... :) And besides.... this man is the sexiest thang around...... whooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! O how I love you...
