About Me

  • About Me: I was going to conquer the world, but I got distracted by something sparkly.

More About Me

  • Nicknames: Finn
  • Nationality: Aussie
  • Religion: Fundamentalist Creationalist. I'm also a Bootist. *grin* http://www.bootism.com/book/bootist.php
  • Heroes: My One and Only... Jesus Christ.
  • Interests: My husband Adam, and those they call Legion: Troy, Drew, Bethany, Amy and Eli. I'm a lazy perfectionist who's house is a magazine spread in my head. Real life? Not so much. I aspire to Proverbs 31, and pushing into Christ is one of the most awesome, painful, exciting, devestating, glorious, humbling experiences I've ever encountered. I sing. I sew. I fluff. Oh... and I love shoes. A lot. I attempt deepness and humour, often simultaneously. I have issues. I have a serious coke habit. Liquid, not powder. I like my nose with two holes. I love making new friends... they come in handy for free accomodation on holidays *grin*. You can email me anytime at mat2820b{@}aim{.}com (without the pretty perentheses)
  • Expertise: Leaving everything 'til the last minute. Staying up too late. Reading about home-making and time management. Not necessarily doing what they say. Cooking dinner while holding the baby, checking homework, separating squabling siblings, kissing husband and removing all things out of reach... all at the same time.
  • Occupation: F/T wife & mother. Pro Bono
