11 Random Facts about Moi:
 |
| My Baby Bird Tattoo |
(1) I'm from a fishing village outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and I really didn't enjoy growing up there. I moved out as soon as I could.
(2) I have two tattoos (one is memorial, another is for Baby Bird) and my nose pierced.
(3) I absolutely love McDonald's cheeseburgers, but I hate all other types of burgers, including homemade. Gross, I know, but I really enjoy the delicious grease.
(4) I started taking ballet lessons in January 2011, stopped in June, and will be returning in September.
(5) I used to play the piano and the clarinet. I say "used to" because I never make the time to do so anymore.
(6) I got my private pilot's license in 2003, but didn't continue flying due to the cost of renting planes.
(7) I was in Air Cadets as a teenager, and was terribly shy before I joined the program. Now I love public speaking (weird, right?).
(8) I'm an only child - as a child, it didn't bother me at all, but as an adult, I wish I had a sibling.
(9) I love swimming and water sports.
(10) I have travelled to the United States, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, and France. So far, London, England is my favourite city.
(11) I am absolutely terrified of death - funeral homes and all things funeral-related creep me out.
The 11 Questions that Tiffanie at Life with the Little Man has asked of her recipients:
(1.) Why did you start blogging?
I'm always drafting written words in my mind, so blogging seemed like the perfect outlet for all that. I find blogging instead of keeping a personal journal helps me to frame everything in a more positive and constructive way, and if I just happen to help out someone else going through similar struggles, all the better.

(2.) Pop or Coke.... or just soda?
Pop!
Pop!
(3.) Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I'd like to be a business owner and have two children in five years.

(4.) What state are you from? Do you like living there?
I'm Canadian, and from Nova Scotia. I love Nova Scotia for so many reasons, but I'm starting to feel like I could use a change. K. is in the Royal Canadian Air Force, so forced change in surroundings is never too far in the future. If only I could transplant all my family and friends when the time comes to move.

(6.) What was your favorite vacation?
So far, our whirlwind 48 hour trip to London, England to see U2 is my favourite. It was a surprise trip for me (K. is the best hubby ever. Believe that.), an incredible city, and the whole experience was amazing.

(10.) Do you prefer to read the book or wait for the movie?
