Debby, with all her great and magical powers, accidentally deleted my bio while replying, so here it is again... Maybe all the Finnish stuff will make more sense now. I was mentioning to Niina (in Finnish) that my mother is from Finland (translation: Minun aiti on Suomilainen), she was born and raised in Inkeroinen and Myllykoski.
I'm 30 and from Ottawa, the capital of Canada. I went to university to study chemistry and worked in labs for a while, but now I'm a personal chef - I go to people's homes and cook for them while they are at work, do their grocery shopping and leave them with one or two weeks' worth of meals.
I've been married for 6 years to my wonderful husband - we decided to get married on the same day as we met (we actually married a year later). I love to read, especially mystery and British Isles fiction. Maeve Binchy, Rosamunde Pilcher, Stephen King, Pat Conroy and Stuart Woods are some of my favourite authors. We are in the process of mostly renovating our house - taking out carpeting and laying laminate flooring throughout, removing one of the kitchen walls and installing all new cabinetry, finishing the basement into a rec room.
I have 4 cats (kiisa in Finnish) - Silly Goose (6), Clementine (5), Winnie (4) and Elsa (2 months). Elsa was taken from a feral colony at the age of 1 week when her mother was trapped as part of a catch and release spaying program for ferals. We've had her since she was 3 weeks old, weighed less than a pound and only ate formula through a syringe. Now she weighs a little over 3 pounds and eats kibble like all her sisters.
