The Mother's former and current self

More about me.

I grew up in a middle class suburb in a middle class family and went to a middle class public school. While it wasn't the worst school I could have gone to (we didn't have a stabbing like my friend's school did), it certainly shaped my decision that my children would not be going to a public high school when the time comes.

I used to be hugely into sport and had an activity almost every day of the week. I loved to dance, sing and do drama. I sadly do none of these things now. The loss of these passions is a big regret in my life and getting one/some of them back is a bit of a goal for me.

I would like to think I am somewhat attractive. I am smart, funny and fiercely loyal to those who are important to me. I am trustworthy, ever punctual and ok if I'm honest I'm a bit of a germophobe. I count my bottle of hand sanitizer as a close friend and it is among my top five items to save in a fire. Although the alcohol in it would make it akin to a Molotov cocktail... a very clean one...

I don't have 200 friends on facebook. I rarely go on the bloody thing, though that's not to have a go at those who do. I guess I would just rather talk to my friends than count them online. My true friends, of whom I believe I have a good number, are gold to me, and losing one through whatever means hurts like hell.

I truly do not know what Twitter is. I will consider it an achievement in life if I never find out. So please noone spoil it for me.

I have been married for almost five years, and with hubby for nearly 11. I truly believe we are soul mates and I simply adore him as much as I did when we first started going out. We are best friends first and foremost. And we both like the Apprentice. So it works.

I love going to the movies (God bless the mums and bubs sessions!) and would take a comedy over the other genres any day of the week. On the box I love Glee, Boston Legal (Alan Shore is my older man crush), Nip/Tuck, The Apprentice, Family Guy, Entourage and my sad guilty pleasure: Home and Away.

I vote liberal but am a bit of a socialist.
I love to travel but am terrified of flying.
I love animals and feel bad that I love to eat them more than I love to look at them.
I miss the freedoms of being childless but like any parent would say think it's a very small price to pay.
