Yep she is!!!! Thanks guys


She never dated anyone else while we were growing up either. As soon as we were out of high school, she started dating and clubbing and having a ball. She's never been overseas, and now she's done an overseas trip each year for the past 5 years


Anyway, sorry for going off topic...

Other things you don't know about me:

1. At one stage I was very involved in basketball and coaching. At the same time I coached club Under 10 mixed team, club Under 18 boys, regional Under 12 girls, assistant to Regional Under 14 girls, assistant to club A grade men's, and assistant coach for a team in the Australian National Wheelchair Basketball Team, and personal coach for a Paralympian. I pretty much lived at the basketball stadium.


2. I'm such a fraidy cat and have a very active imagination. If I wake up to a noise, I'm sure someone has just broken in, and about to hurt my hubby or kitties, and freak myself out. How do I get back to sleep? I pull the doona over my head because that makes the scariness go away.

in a pile of open toed shoes!
I will try to keep it at just 5....


1. my little sister is very opposite of me, I am the prissy/cheerleader type and she was the skip school/hemp jewelry type, she used to cut the hair on my barbies when we were younger & rip their heads off.


2. probably cause I would never let her sing any of the verses in "Walk like an Egyptian"
She was only ever allowed to do the whistling part cause I cannot whistle. That being said, I am an 80's music NUT. Madonna, Prince, Air Supply you name it, I love it.

3. I am terrified of water. I can't swim, but LOVE the carribean to my waist only. I stand in the shower and never get my face wet! I use a wash cloth, well rung out to wash my face. My hubby thinks this is funny to let water ricochet off of him to get me in the face.

4. The battery in my smoke detector at home was dying and kept beeping, beeping, beeping. I asked my DH to change it 100 times, and he'd forget 100 times. So I just beat it with the broom till it stopped beeping.
My broom is hot pink, with black leopard spots on it.

5. I am a shoe *****....I love shoes. They always fit, and my size is an 8. (I can't say that for my dress size
) I have hundreds & hundreds of shoes. I just gave away like 60-100 pairs to the salvation army, some still new with tags that I never wore
. Even the towels in my bathroom have high heels on them, black w/ pink polka-dots. My favorite place is called the Shoe Factory, but it's not a factory, just a small store. On Labor Day they have end of summer clearance & every single pair of shoes is $3.99, it's like a mad house in there!

That's it. Hope you enjoyed a glance into my own personal insanity!!!

Okay, I'll share!

1. My husband is the love of my life, but it didn't start that way. I thought that he'd be a one night stand and we'd never talk again. That was almost 9 years ago.

2. I collect Hello Kitty items from Japan. My best piece is a Hello Kitty Binto Box (it's a traditional Japanese lunch box) that turns into a sushi restaurant. I can't display it yet because it has a million small bits to it that the boys will think are kitty toys.

3. I've lost almost 100 pounds (45 kg), and it's been a huge journey of self discovery for me. I've learned that I can say no and mean it, that I can still bake up a storm, and that if I can do that I can do almost anything.

4. I've learned that I am turning into my Mother, and I don't really mind it all that much, because my Mom is one of the greatest women that has ever lived. She has taught me that life is a journey and I have to learn to enjoy it.

5. My ideal day is turning off my cell phone, reading a book, and listening to classical music on the radio. I don't get to do this all that often, but I have been known to use my vacation time at work to set up a day like that for myself. The last time I did that was January, and I am planning to do it again sometime in March.

1. I like working but I would love to be able to work from home or be a home health nurse and take care of people and still set my own hours.
2. I alway wanted what I thought was a real family growing up, you know mom, dad, sister, and me and a few animals. But the older I get the more I realize my family of my daddy, my sister, and me and my aunts and uncles and cousings, and neighbors was what I needed and I was so blessed to have them.
3. I do hope to find true love one day soon and have a kid or two and get to be a stay at home mommy
4. I love flowers especially wild flowers. I could go out picking flowers and spend all day just thinking about how pretty they are.
5. I love my cat and my rat terrier and my border collie shep mix they are like my kids. But I hope to have another cat some day.

more?
  1. I have a complete hatred of cleaning my car... but Tony eventually gets fed up and does it!
  2. I have to scratch my thigh when I go for a wee or else nothing comes out... and I can't be interrupted or it stops completely and then I get tummy ache.
  3. When I'm tired or upset I suck my bottom lip and my hand immediatly shoots up to my hair for a good old twiddle!
  4. I only have two pairs of work shoes and 2 pair of trainers but have 5 pairs of slippers!
  5. I love the feeling you get when you clean your ears with a cottonbud!
  6. I have to sleep with all the wardrobe doors closed or else a little boy named Johnny I dreamed of as a childhood nightmare might still be in them and come out when everyone is asleep and chop off my legs!

1. I secretly like it that my husband comes home almost 2 hours later than me. Time to cuddle with Anya, watch TV that I enjoy, have an unhealthy snack, go to my websites, and just RELAX.

2. I go to work every day with damp hair in a ponytail. When I do actually dry it and style it no one at works believes its me.
Good thing our office is SUPER casual.

3. I HATE to do laundry so I let it pile up until I do like 8 or 10 loads all at once. I even bought my husband special "last day boxers" with little cartoon characters on them so that when I see him wearing them I know I HAVE to do laundry or else.
He humors me.

4. I make jewelry to sell, but in reality I've only sold a handful of pieces. I end up loving most of it so much that I wear it myself...

5. I sneak ingredients into my cooking that I like and my husband despises by cutting them up super tiny. If he can't see it he doesn't know its there, but I still get to taste it and enjoy it! I do this with mushrooms, onions, etc...

6. I have no idea what I really want to be when I "grow up". I have a degree in psychology but am working as an office manager for an architect...

When we build our house I want to have a side of my closet made into shelves just for my shoes and sandals and boots. And have the floor of it for the boots. I want a big walkin closet so keep your fingers crossed.

I mentioned that I'm a twin and we still do creepy twin things??? Well I got a box of paperback books from my sister and she sent me 4 book that I already have!!!
And I'm left handed and that (there is an official name) problems with telling my right from my left!! Please never ask me for directions as I have to look at my hands and think what is left and what is right (and make gestures!!) If DH is asking me which way to turn while driving I'll point and say "this way" or "that way"!!!
