Hi ladies (and gentlemen if there are any),

Since we are all getting to know one another in negative and positive ways, I thought I would start this topic so we can get to know one another a little better. Maybe this will help with understanding one another on a more personal basis, and communicating better. ;) It's worth a shot anyway.
Area you live: Northern California
Place of birth: San Jose, Ca
Age: 32
Occupation: Hmm, not sure, maybe Domestic Engineer, heehee.
Children: One 6 yr old daughter, but trying for two more! YEAH.
Hobbies: Gardening, collecting precious moments figurines, scrapbooking, and collecting Olivia Newton-John memorabilia (I am a huge fan since the age of 5)!
Interests: Hiking, biking, boating, roller blading, traveling, meeting new interesting people.
Pet peeves: Road rage, manipulative people, moochers, controlling people, etc.
Ethnic background: (optional of course) Irish, Spanish, Portuguese.
That's a little about me, anyone else want to share? You can add any ? I may have left out that will be of interest. ;) Take care ladies!

Very nice, you all sound like a bunch of wonderful, hard working individuals! I managed hotels for the last 15 years. Very tiring and LONG hours. Happy to have all my time with my little girl now. She is such a doll! :])

Hey Julia what a nice idea!
My name is Cindy
I live in Newcastle, Australia but I am from Victoria BC Canada originally. I moved here 4 years ago.
I am 33 years old
I am a restaurant supervisor
I have a 10 month old son and 2 Step sons (6 and 8)
I love reading, I enjoy crafts but never seem to finish any projects I start, my husband and I love watching sports(don't laugh it's true)
I really miss my family back in Canada. It has been difficult not being close to my Mom and sister and all my many sisters-in-laws (I have 4 brothers!!!) since Tana was born. Thankfully I have a very supportive husband who understand this.
That's a bit about me... I am looking forward to learning more about the people here.

Cindy- Thanks for the props girlie! It worked for me, everyone seems very nice and pleasant to chat with. Being as you live in Australia, you must be an Olivia fan too maybe, hmm?? ;) It's my dream to visit there one day.

Alright Elaine, another Cali AND SJ girl on board!! What part are you from? I pretty much grew up Santa Clara (sure you know where that is) near Bowers and Monroe. ;) 

Name: nicole jones | Date: Jun 16th, 2006 12:36 AM
Lol, I guess I'm the baby.
I'm 18 (and just since everyone else was saying, i'm only 5'2")
Been married for 2 years (crazy, i know)
raising my 5 year old stepson Jack
I am working as a civil litigation paralegal part time (gave up full time to be at home with Jack)
We're trying (with the help of fertilty drugs) to conceive Baby #1and i'm currently obsessed with knowing everything there is to know about pregnancy, babies, cleaning, cooking (lol, maybe its the hormones their giving me for the fertility).
I'm a real martha stewart type, and besides the huge age difference between hubby and i I am SUPER traditional (think "I Love Lucy" except we do sleep in the same bed, lol)
I really enjoy country music and camping.
Oh, and I live in Washington state, and i'm white (i'd elaborate, but i'm not sure my exact ethinicity)

Hey Julia, I'll keep my eyes out for some Olivia Newton-John memorabillia. Everyone loves her here. Next time I go to garage saling I will look for some really old stuff for you. 

Name: nicole jones | Date: Jun 16th, 2006 2:30 AM

Name: Julia | Date: Jun 16th, 2006 4:40 AM
Oh thank you Cindy!! That would be awesome! I am jealous that you have such easy access to find her things. I check ebay now and again but always get out bidded!! :( I have won some really neat items though. I have a chest I am filling up. hehe

Nicole- What part of WA do you live? We are considering relocating to the Vancouver area soon! :) You sound very nice amd VERY mature for your age by the way. Good luck on conceiving!! 

Name: nicole jones | Date: Jun 16th, 2006 4:58 AM
Thanks so much Julia. I live in Shelton, Wa (lol, you might want to mapquest it, because i'm sure you've never heard of it) it's just north of Olympia.
