I saw this on Facebook and couldn't pass it up! We always talk about MG, and that is awesome, but I thought this way we could get to know each other better...........

I think it will be really interesting. Just type something that you think no one else on this space knows about you..........

1. I am a wife and mother first and foremost.
2. I love extreme weather and plan on chasing a tornado after my remission.
3. I have mild OCD/control issues. In fact, the first time I saw Tony Shaloub vacuuming the ceiling on Monk, I thought "How sexy", though I am married to the polar opposite - thank God!
4. My husband is the only man I ever wanted to marry.
5.I am an Aries. My hubby is a Taurus.
6. I would love to be a decorator. It fills me with so much joy to make my home look beautiful!
7. My son, niece and hubby light up my life and give me so much joy.
8. I do not make friends easily, but once I do, they are friends for life - literally.
9.I am a huge animal lover and collect strays all the time. I have 5 dogs and 2 cats.
10. I am guarded and very shy.
11.I love reading old books (mainly mysteries) and watching old movies.
12. I have a very dark sense odf humor.
13. I would love to have another baby - most of the time.
14. I love to travel - all thanks to Mike!
15. There is nothing better than sitting and snuggling in front of the fire with Mike. I also run the a/c and the fire at the same time when I am down.
16. I am a huge believer in "creature comforts" and do not like "roughing it" at all!
17. I am a total "girly girl".
18. I pray every day - every day.
19. I could never be a "country club" wife - way too boring!
20. I love old homes.
21. My son and I have the same personality. Poor Devon
22. Mike and I are best friends.
23. I am not forgiving, though I am trying very hard. Life is just too short to hold a grudge.
24. I will watch ANYTHING directed by Hitchcock.
25. I used to think that Lurch from the Addams family was HOT!!!!!

Now I know mine is boring, but hopefully some of you will add something of real interest............

Hi guys! My turn! Here goes some random stuff about me - in no particular order of importance.
1. Trained for years as a singer and sang back-up vocals on a cd.
2. Performed in loads of amateur musical theatre productions and was reviewed as having the most poignant moment in one of the shows.
3. Lived outdoors in a tree shelter for an entire summer at a scout camp. My camp name was Kanya.
4. I'm a volunteer Guide leader for a pack of nearly 40 girls.
5. Was a guide myself in my youth. Was awarded the Canada Cord and went to an international camp in 1993.
6. I am a primary school teacher working in a highschool. Love kids and ultimately dream that I will make a positive, memorable impact on one of my students.
7. Love to read, anything at all - cheesy romance to the classics. When I was eight I once slept surrounded by my entire Nancy Drew collection. Read Anna Karenina at 12.
8. Have visited 9 of the 10 places I wanted to see in my life (still need to visit Egypt and am currently starting a new list... suggestions anyone?)
9. Saw "Vanilla Ice" in concert as a child.
10. I’m trying to carry on my mother’s tradition of making personalised gingerbread cookies for all the neighbourhood children at Christmas.
11. Co-hosted a radio-show for 8 years specialising in Canadian music.
12. I'm a rubbish cook, but decent baker.
13. I met my husband at church.
14. Went to World Youth Day 2000 and saw Pope John Paul II.
15. I have no Ukrainian heritage but make Ukrainian Easter eggs every year.
16. My mom is my best friend and I talk to her everyday even though we live in different countries.
17. Cry at MOST movies (yes, even Godzilla 2000).
18. Ohhh embarrassing one.... I still sleep with my sleepy blanket I’ve had since birth (my husband understands – thankfully)
19. Love sitting outside with a cup of tea
20. Have aspirations to be a writer someday – the story is there, just waiting to come out.
21. Love Gerber daisies – but keep killing the poor things!
22. Make my own cards – this year made 80 Christmas cards – record is 110. Also made all of our wedding invitations and associated stationery.
23. Worked at GAP for just under 10 years – they even sent me to Las Vegas for a conference in 2000; all the way from N.S. Canada.
24. Demi Moore has the same size hands as me (small – I tried it out at Planet Hollywood once).
25. I live in the modern equivalent of a storybook village – butcher, baker, town square... think beginning of Beauty and the Beast.
26. (sorry cheating a bit) I miss my old "normal-self" but have learned a lot from my MG.

Can't wait to hear from the rest of you!!

It was really nice reading about you guys

I have spent a total of 2 hours typing out my list while sitting at work...it's slow at the end of the day. Two times now, I have lost internet connection and been unable to save this! Lol.

So I give up on 25...I'm sticking to 10 :P

1. I'm a male nurse.
2. I married my high school sweetheart, who is my TOTAL opposite.
3. I received my bachelors degree in 3 years, taking all but one class with my wife.
4. I like to be alone, but miss the company(if that makes any sense).
5. Zombie movies scare me. I even have a zombie plan incase the world is overtaken....MG has complicated this, by alot. Lol.
6. I'd rather be on the water than on land.
7. If I won the lottery my first purchase would be a yellow Ferrari, and I wouldn't work another day in my life(at least not for money).
8. I'm a night owl by heart, but my wife is an early riser...so I keep to her schedule because it's healthier.
9. My favorite animals are frogs, especially poison dart frogs. It's hard to find something that beautiful in such a small package.
10. I have a list of things I've always wanted to do, but will never do for whatever reason..be it moral reasons..or legal ones, lol. An example is smoking pot. I've always wanted to, never have..and never will, simply because it's illegal and I like having my nursing license, hehe.

That's pretty much it. I wish I could hop on this board more. Such a nice family feeling going on here.

[erinhermes]

Do you have any youtube footage of you? I bet we would ALL love to see it!
What tree shelter did you live @? I love to read anything, too! When I get bored, I'll even read the cereal boxes......You can never have too many books! I loved Nancy Drew, too! She was my favorite as a girl! I would love to see Egypt as well! So much history! Especially Alexandria.......Your town does sound like a story book village. I would love to see some pics when you have time!You MAKE your own cards? I would love to be creative like that! LOve it!!!!!!!! What a great list!

It is so great that you get to be a stay @ home mom. There are so many amazing moments that you cannot replicate - no matter what! Do you have any pics of the cakes? I would love to see them! Real talent always amazes me - if you get a chance, look @ redtails pics - they are gorgeous! I try and make my cakes, but they always have a big crack down the middle........ - I just add lots of icing......I would love to scrap book well. I've tried it, but just cannot seem to get the hang of it! I would love to hear some of your music - is there any way to check it out? You know it's the craziest thing, but I was always a tomboy until my sis was pregnant! Then I morphed into this girly girl. My niece is a total girly girl! I used to make fun of women that wore matchy matcy outfits and stuff like that, but I am a goofball and love doing that with Lilli.........I would love to get a mini horse, but I think my hubby would leave me - as it is we have too many pets, but how can you say no to a pet that needs a good home? Our newest baby is so cute! She is a pitbull, but is the total opposite of what anyone would think a pitbull is like. She is loving and gentle and seems to know the days I feel awful - she doesn't pull on the leash or anything and walks really slowly - like she's walking me......too cute! Plus, she is very gentle with my little dogs and son....guess it was meant to be.......I am really afraid of heights as well - yuck! Love power tools, but cause too much damage!

[redtail]

Hmmmm, I kinda wanted to skip this one, but as I've been reading everyone elses I thought I should start one.

1. I grew up on a farm
2. I love horses, grew up riding them, and one day hope to have another one.
3. I did 2 weeks work experience at the Perth Zoo when I was 15, and loved it.
4. I love cooking.
5. In my last job I was training to be a vet nurse...................alas no more.
6. I want to go sky diving.
7. I have helped a cow deliver her calf.
8. I have driven across Australia from Perth to Adelaide.
9. I rode my sister young horse first before anyone else(you could say "broke him in" but thats such a horrible phrase).
If I think of anything else I will add them later!

[Gdbyrd]

Hey Redtail, that'd be awesome to work at a zoo. I wanted to be vet originally, but there are only two schools in Tx for it, and I wasn't up to moving. I love animals more than people honestly, lol. Australia is an amazing place. I had a very close friend in high school that had just moved from there. It's a place I'll have to go sometime...Sky diving on the otherhand, lol. No thanks! But I bet it is quite a trip.

~Erin. I'm doing Okie. Been coming home from work and crashing at about 8-8:30 past few days but otherwise OK. Sorry about your swelling! Hopefully it'll be better by the weekend, you're having family come in right? I wish there was something you could do for it, but hopefully you can get some rest and be all ready for a great weekend. Hehe, about my wife...She's awesome. Completes me in about every way.
