Default 5 things about me

I love animals, but people are incredibly intriguing to me. Especially in an online environment where you only know them by the text that appears on your computer screen and an occasional picture. I thought it would be fun to take some time to get to know each other by listing 5 things about yourself that you think others would find interesting. You can tell as much or as little as you like.

1. Though I live in Utah, I was born in Australia. I've only been in the states 9 years, but I've been all over it.

2. Even though I have a masters degree in computer science, after 15 years of working as a robotics programmer, I quit my career and went back to school for interior design. I didn't fit very well in the "geek crowd." (I don't eat cheetos or drink pepsi)

3. I have 4 human kids, ages 7, 8, (boys) 14 and 21 (girls). I plan to put the 8 year old and the 21 year old up on ebay soon. The 4 of them have collectively helped me develop a well tuned sense of humor.

4. I rarely take anything in life seriously. My personality is usually humorous and sarcastic and I love making people laugh. Life is too short to cry. I've seen so much that nothing surprises me anymore and whatever happened, I usually have a smart ass comment for it.

5. I'm an only child. My parents had me and learned their lesson. Yes. I was a handful. I think I still am!

Your turn!

1. i was born and raised in massachusetts and migrated to nh almost 11 years ago. i dont know that i could ever move back now after being here.

2. i love to sew, take photos, play with my furr babies....i try to keep busy with all sorts of things/projects and sometimes im bad with my follow thru. i am also addicted to sims social on fb. i love music all music and have to access to music at all times even when sewing. im secretly a rock star in my own mind!!! haha.

3. i always wanted to be a fashion designer that was my deepest desire in life and still is just now more focused toward the furr babies side of the industry.

4. i tended to take things way to seriously in life. im a cancer and still wear my heart on my sleeve but over the years my skin has become much thicker and i have learned to not sweat the small things as theres a much bigger problem around the corner!!! haha.

5. my dream is to someday run my own lil internet business and live by the beach...its the cancer in me need to be around the sea!!

1. My name is Kelly and I'm a single parent to Hunter my Turkish Van imposter cat, and Teaka the overgrown gerbil. Hunter has the mentality of a 2 year old and is always getting in trouble. The energy that cat has is amazing. Teaka is an old soul I think. She is the one who will tattle tail on the cat if he is getting in trouble. She rules the roost!

2. I live in NH, lived here pretty much my whole life. Love to travel to different places. Been to several states, Canada and Ireland.

3. I work in the Health Care industry, actually Health Information Services. Went to school for Computer Information systems, and I'm a total tech geek at heart.

4. My nieces Caitlin and Isabelle are my favorite little people. They are histerical and I love them to pieces. I am their favorite Auntie! (Caitlin told me so. lol )

5. I am a complete sentimental/emotional sap. I am a hardcore worrier and I stress very very easily. Trying to keep my life as stress free as possible.

This is great here goes:

1.) I am a die hard Pittsburgh Steelers fanatic. I wear the same clothes every game as not to jinx them (yes I have that kind of power LOL)

2.) I am 1 of 4 kids, only girl (hence my love for sports)
and youngest by 9 years

3.) I work in telecommunications, majored in communications and my life goal was to be a Sportscaster

4.) I have 1 skin child who is amazing, wonderful and all those great things-obviously hasn't hit the teen years yet

5.) I live in the burbs in Maryland between Washington DC and Baltimore. High cost of living but so many other great things outweigh the cost

-I am 25 years old and am a certified K-8 teacher looking for an elementary teaching position. I've been subbing for 1.5 years and am hoping to snag a position this fall.

-I am married (coming on 4 years) and I get irritated when people ask when we are having kids. We have NO desire right now, and I don't think it should be automatically assumed that we will be having children... I think it's been ingrained in our society that children are just part of life, and I think we need to get away from that... Not everyone should have children! lol

-I own an old house (1912) and spend a lot of my spare time (and money! lol) fixing it up. From paint stripping, painting, sanding, landscaping, to electrical... We've done it all.

-Last but not least, I'm married to a Canadian and would live there if it weren't for my family. I love Vancouver (where dh is from) but cannot bear the idea of leaving my family...

Five things about me; that might be interesting

1. I used to dance when I was very young with the National Ballet of Canada

2. I love all sports, and when I stopped dancing, finally got to do a whole bunch of them

3. I've travelled a lot (but not recently). Europe, India, all over Canada, some to the USA. I'd love to go to Ireland, and Africa, but don't see that happening anytime soon.

4. I love people (in small groups), and of course animals. While I show dogs, my true passion is in having fun with the pups, through different kinds of performance sports. To whit I'm a structure,health and function fanatic, and just love to learn everything I can.

5. My dream is to have lots of space in the country, and the money to build a premiere dog facility, encompassing training, performance sports, facilities for rehabbing dogs, and of course conformation showing. I also am a very active member of my dog club, and one day hope to make changes within the show environment.

Hmmm I am not very interesting lol


1. I am 24 and have lived in Maryland for my whole life.

2. When I was 13 my step-dad adopted me but he married my mom when I was 8 and had been living with us sense I was 4. I would write my name with his last name by the time I was 6 even thought I couldn't do that at school because it wasn't legal. But he thought me and did everything with me a regular dad would do. People even say we look alike.

3. I played softball for 8 years and absolutely loved it and wanted to be a profession player and make the sport as big as regular baseball

4. I wish I could be the Rachel Zoe of the dog world

5. I can memorize things very easily and not on purpose. We have been to look at houses to move and I could drawl the layout of all 8 of them just after only seeing them once. I beg people like my mom and grandma not to have me sign in to there accounts because I can remember there passwords after one time and its not like I would sign in and do stuff to there account but I don't want to know the password.

Are you restoring or updating or a little of both (restoration with a modern twist?) Don't buy stuff without consulting with me first. I know where to shop!
Below is my power room, before and after.
Total cost: $675 including the granite sink, counter top and the tile floor.
I did every bit of the work myself.

I want to play:

1. We don't have children either, and we don't plan to. Having children is not for everybody, but we're NOT anti-children. It's just not for us, that's all.

2. I live a simple, quiet life.

3. I am a true introvert. I enjoy being alone, and being alone with my thoughts. My husband is similar, and that's in part why we're a good match. We give each other space.

4. Friendship matches (and love matches, for that matter) are rare for me.

5. My life motto: Learn as you go. Adapt and shift.

I love restoration! I am really liking the way the counter sink has a rough edge. I was able to do a full restoration on my Aunts 3 bedroom apartment
3 years ago. I didn't realize how easy it is and how much you can save by doing it yourself. We only spent a total of about 5,500. That includes all brandnew appliances.

okay...back to the subject. lol

1. We are planning to buy a house in a couple of years(maybe sooner)....an older one so we can fix it up the way we want. see above

2. People don't believe me when I tell them my age and that I have 4 kids and my oldest is 21!(yikes!) I guess it's the Asian genes. When I take my son to High School people think i'm a student there. lol

3. I am a daycare provider and I love every minute of it. These babies/kids teach me! I can't help but smile everytime I look at one of these kids in the eyes. They amaze me everyday.

4. I plan on becoming the crazy old lady with a pack of my own.(My hubby the protective old man) I'm looking for a Biewer as we speak. As much as I love my skin kids...I'll trade one for a Biewer. ahahahahahaaa

5. Ohana means everything to me. Friends too. I will bend over backward to help you if I can. It's in my nature to love and help. Sometimes it's my downfall. (So hubby tells me)

I guess that's five. I love getting to know everyone here.

5 things that could be interesting about me:

1) Daddy was "in oil", so I have traveled/ lived all over the world. Momma and daddy were in Alaska when she went into labor with me...she fled back to Beaumont, Texas so "her child would be born in Texas"...actually her family was all here, so that was where she went! I have a brother 6 years younger than me...momma didnt make it back to Texas with him...got as far as Ardmore, Ok!
2) Grew up mostly in Kuwait, daddy was with Getty Oil, CEO Middle East Operations....First Gulf War, invasion and bombing of Kuwait was like watching my home town being destroyed.
3) Got into vet school after much to do and string pulling...girls didnt go to vet school much back then....was such a mommas baby, quit and came back to Houston, went into nursing school and lived at home, until I married.
4) Was fortunate to follow my passion for riding, taking hunter/jumper lessons from the instructor of the Danish Olympic Equestrian Riding Team.
5) Raised and showed Arabian horses....got divorced.....got into Yorkies in 1978, and started breeding in 2000....looking forward to retiring in 2013 from nursing, to pursue my passion, my babies, full time!
