About Me

About me? I'm a long distance runner, love the outdoors, use a MAC, work out a few times a week, hate swimming...my fave animal is the elephant. i stay up way too late and have a hard time getting up in the morning. i collect postcards, have lived in a bunch of cities, a bunch of states, several countries and several different continents. i love a cold winter and a warm summer. i'm single, love hats and headwraps even though my hair is growing back after losing it from cancer treatment. oh, and i LOVE piglet - so much i even have a huge piglet tattoo on my side! i am not musical, but i love music. i listen to anything and everything and love making cd's for people of my favourite songs/artists. i'm not a great photographer, but i'm learning. i love dogs, am learning to like cats and basically i'm just a relaxed chill person!

Favorite Music

music? right now i'm listening to jann arden. i like leona lewis, lily allen, agustana, duffy, reba mcentire, sheryl crow (her newer stuff), gwen stefani, natasha bedingfield, buckcherry, john mayer and adore maroon 5!

Favorite Books

i read everything. literally. tuesday w/ morrie the kay scarpetta books janet evonovich, even though i can't spell her name! woman's murder club danielle steel

mostly mysteries, i guess

Favorite Movies

pretty woman clueless under the tuscan sky my life without me (my ultimate favourite) sweet home alabama zoolander

Favorite Television

woman's murder club samantha who? brothers and sisters ugly betty medium grey's anatomy desperate housewives american idol (my guilty pleasure!)

Favorite Crafts

i love clothes - new clothes, old clothes...especially jeans! i make them my own. i like recycling! did i mention that I LOVE JEANS??? (size 2, if it matters, but i have no problem ripping apart seams and making them into purses, shorts, skirts or jeans you wouldn't even recognise anymore!) i don't know how to crochet, but i'm always willing to learn new things. beginner kits are always welcome! i also love to cook and welcome favourite recipes, mixes or even dinner ideas!

Allergies and other Dislikes

First off, I have celiac disease. This means that my body cannot process gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, barley and oats. I do not, however, expect anyone to look for certain gluten free products or be able to know if a product does or does not contain this sticky protein. I am much more of a salt fan, but I do sometimes crave sugar! i hate salmon. (i know, random).

Things I like to do!

in my spare time, i enjoy spending time at the gym, shopping, travelling, running, watching movies, reading, IMing, doing puzzles and hanging out with friends!

Sizes

Well, the dreaded sizes box. I wear a size 7 or 7.5 shoe. In jeans (and most clothes) I vary from a 2 to a 4, so an XS or S, depending on brand. The only colour flip flop I don't really dig is...wait, I've never met a flop I didn't like!!! In fact, I adore flops!

My family

Let's see...my family. My Mum is a part time teacher - anywhere from 1st to 5th grade depending on the school year. She and my Dad (who is retired and has been for 11 years) love to travel and do it quite frequently. Mum is an avid reader and love to shop and Dad is a photographer. They both like movies, going out to dinner and like I said, travelling. I have an older brother who is a football coach at a junior college. He loves anything sports related at all.

Okay, onto the other things. I'm not a Mum, but I am a caretaker, who does it professionally and full time. I have two munchkins - one (Ally) with special needs (who loves water sports and soccer) and the other who is so much like me it's almost scary. Katie is 11 and is not into sports at all. She loves to read, adores Hannah Montana, HSM, the Jonas Bros, and iCarly. She likes clothes and wears a girls XL or a women's XS. She is not into pink at all. She loves loves loves anything sugary and especially chocolate. She is learning to cook and enjoys it. Katie helps me alot with swaps and loves to see the mail I receive. I would love for her to be included in some swaps that are "daughter-related" as I am her closest mother figure.

Comment: A great big, enthusiastic thank you for everything! Seriously, this is one of the most thoughtful packages I've ever received. You went above and beyond catering to my cultural side (as well as other things I love!), and I really appreciate it very much. Add a few hundred hearts to the one I can officially give!

Response: I sent you an email the following day with the tracklist...I'm sorry, but I did email as soon as I noticed the tracklist did not make it into the packages. If you'd like, I can resend you the tracklist!

Hi,

I haven't left a rating yet... just wondering if you will be sending out for the Favourite Music CD swap...

thanks, Laura (Oread)

I am the hostess for the For Our Daughters Swap. I see you have not sent your package. I am sure you received one from your partner. I hope all is well with you and that you did not intentionally flake on a children's swap. That would be really tacky.

Hi, I hope you received my booklet for the 100 things I miss swap (:

Hi Carla, I'm your partner for the flip-flop swap. I sent them off to you on the 30th but I just realised that the card I wrote for you was not included! Anyway the jist of it is that I wanted to find something a little out of the ordinary for you because on your profile you say "i've never met a flip-flop I didn't like". I looked all over for some piglet flip-flops for ya and surprisingly I did find pooh and eeyore but no piglet. Hope you enjoy what I did send. ~morgan
