An old thread I see but a great read....lets see if i can get to 25 things....

1. I was named after 2 songs Angie (rolling stones) and Janine (Trooper). My parents loved music??

2. I was told everyday by mom that she "hoped i had a daughter that caused me as much grief as i caused her" I got one ten fold...I lose at least 50 strands of hair everyday by pulling it out. Yet, life would be unimaginable without her.

3. Met my hubby when I was 17. I rode the bus with him when i was in junior high. I saw him a few years later at an Our Lady Peace concert. He was a "rebound". We have been together for 13 years!

4. I believe me and my hubby were meant to be even though neither of us wears our rings and I didnt change my name.

5. I am a daddy's girl through and through. He taught me everything I need to know about how to live my life carefree and possibly my love for buying things and spending money!(this drives showtime a bit nuts at times). Sadly, he died in 2001 at the age of 47. Love you dad. It makes me sad everytime i watch a grown woman with her dad.

6. I am a teacher. my favorite part of the day....the hugs the kids give because i think I may be the only ones in their lives that care about them.

7. Im addicted to clothes and shoes and shopping

8. I LOVE camping, boating and being outdoors but not really at home because that is more like work and less like fun.

9. I am a fitness instructor. I teach dryland and aquasize classes.

10. finished my first half marathon in 2:12 minutes.

11. Was 1 demerit away from loosing my license when i was 20. My insurance was $7000 a year!!

12. When i was 16 my parents wanted to send me to AA. I drank everyday even on the way to school but ended up with honourable mention in high school.

13. I was a "jock" in school and ended up being the captain on the majority of the teams I was on.

14. I am always looking for a workout partner.

15. Holy chit this is taking a long time.

16. I LOATHE laundry. I fuggin hate it. Why cant I just have new clothes everyday?

17. I crashed the first quad i ever bought by myself straight into a tree. I sold it shortly after.

18. My favorite part about snowmobiling and quadding is jumping. LOVE it.

19. My fave song is: Journey, "dont stop believing"

20. I love having fun and being around people.

21. My bucket list includes: writing a children's book, giving and getting a lap dance, running a full marathon, participating in mardi gras in new orleans, learning how to surf in the ocean....

22. I can now fully appreciate my mom. She is the only one i have. The only one i will ever have and i dont need to fight anyone for the family business cause i dont want it. Therefore, I will be her favorite :) lol.

23. My son has a sparkle in his eye. I think it means we are in trouble but he is so friggin cute.

24. Me and my brothers were trouble some of our fave things to do were: pouring gas down the driveway, lighting it on fire and driving through it pretending we were in back to the future, playing beer darts with steak knives and pulling our trampoline around the yard with our quad while jumping on it!

25. I am blessed.

1. I used to skydive.... what a RUSH!!! that was in my young and foolish days! I eventually quit as it was very time consuming... and our pilot got killed in a plane crash.... R.I.P. Mel.

2. I purchased a 3 year old race horse from Edmonton, he was a blast to ride.... what a powerhouse!!! I always did like big power under my butt!!!

3. I don't like chocolate.... I know.... weird ass!!!

4. I love Chinese food, especially the Green House food. I worked there waitressing for about 3 years, their food was the best!

5. Sledding is a passion for me in the winter... and the guys that i go with are great. They take good care of me. I have been sledding for about 15 years, yet i am considered the "baby" of the group.

6. I've been to Revy, Valemont, and coquahalia,... and Smithers is still my favorite riding area.... particularly Sinclair, it is the greatest.... Sabolis is a close second though.

7.I love to quad in the summer... the dirtier the better.... gotta love those mud holes!!!

8. I have 5 acres with a trailer at Kelly lake that i like to spend time at in the summer with my family.... and the quadding is great right from the door step.

9. I played rec volley ball for 4 winters.... I was never that good at it but they put up with me.... they were probably glad when i didn't go anymore!! : )

10. I want to come back as a mechanic in my next life.... i love fixing things... I just wish i knew what i was doing!!! ( scary!!! )

12. I live in my shop... I would be so board if i didn't have a big shop to play in!

13. I get motion sick VERY easily.... I don't travel well to put it mildly!!

14. I love hiking... but i haven't done much the last few years.... to busy quadding in the summer


15. I was raised in Vancouver, but much prefer the country life..... and you can't beat the people around here.... they are so friendly!!!


I can't think of any more right now... may come back to add to this list....:)
