Okay Okay
Phillip has threatened to hack in and write an entry himself so I guess I'd better give in and give you a little bio. So here goes:
To all you single men out there.... No, wait, I don't want just any single man, I want a soulmate, someone equally fun and sexy and thoughtful and smart and....
Phil - I'm so going to get you back for this!!!!
Maggie - keep the hubster occupied so he drops me as his current hobby, k?????
Lets try this again. My name is Alexandra Wilson (Alex for short). I'm thirtysomething and I live here in Central Canada. We like to joke there are two seasons - winter and construction - here in Winnipeg but its not so bad. Once you get used to the idea of snow anywhere from October through to April ( or May some years) then you're fine. You might have guessed that I'm single and have been for the past few months (okay so if we're going to be technical, its been about 35 past months but I like to think of the day I gave Aiden the boot as a good day! He didn't want marriage or even a committed relationship, he just wanted someone to pay the bills and look the other way while I wanted something a little more. According to him I was a little too demanding. According to me, I was a little too stupid for a little too long).
I have a house that seems to be in a constant state of repair ( or maybe disrepair LOL) but its all mine and I'm rather fond of it. And all the projects give Dad something to do when he comes into town. Him and mom live in Gimli and my sister Maggie lives across the border in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I don't have any kids but I have a tabby cat named Leo and a dog named Blue. Maggie and her hubby Phillip have three kids so I get to spoil two nephews and a niece any time I want without having all the responsibility. Jack is 14 and Hunter is 10, while Emma just turned 8 months. She was a bit of a surprise but none of us can imagine our family without her. She's an absolute ray of sunshine to everyone.
I work as a supervisor for a sales team at a magazine. It's challenging but I can't say its my dream job. I wasn't one of those kids who knew what she wanted to be at an early age. In fact i joke I still don't really know what I want to be.
Did I mention I'm single? That makes me the bane of my mother's existence. She keeps telling me it hurts her heart that I haven't given her another son-in-law and more grand kids. She's convinced I'd make someone a great housewife because I'm so domestic. Not many women like vacuuming but you can count me in!
But I also like my independence. Sure there are times when I wish I had someone to share life with but there are just as many other times (especially when its 1 am and I want to crank the music up and sing along!) that I'm glad I'm single and don't have to worry about anyone else's likes and dislikes.
So that's my story so far....
