Hi, I am a 40 year old mother of 2. My son is 12 and my daughter 8. I live in Ottawa, ON, Canada.
Like a few of you, I too was in Air Cadets, but due to vision issues am not allowed to pilot.
I have worked for the federal gov't in the IT field for the past 11 years or so. Prior to that, I worked in retail from the time I was 19.
I have lived in several cities throughout the province and settled here (from Toronto) after the birth of my son. I left Ottawa at 18 hoping to never return, as I really don't like the culture of this city. That being said, it grows on you like a bad fungus.
I come from a very strange family, and by strange I am referring to the org chart one must follow in order to understand all the full / half /step siblings as well as the multitude of marriages that my mother and father have both had.
I was pretty much raised as an only child, although I did have a brother who was bounced back and forth a lot. It was easier to say I was a loner than have to explain his existence. Funny, now that he is dead I kinda wish I had admitted I had a brother. Hind sight is 20/20 now isn't it?!
I am fully bilingual (English/French). I have a Great Dane and 2 cats.
I have a psychic whom i visit twice a year, who is accurate most of the time. I am a spendaholic and am learning to budget and be fiscally responsible.
I think that about sums it up for me, for now...

And oh yeah, my real name is Elizabeth, but ssshhhh, don't tell anyone.

I don't even know an Annie
