    upfront

    Lakes of Killarney, Ireland, where I grew up until I was sixteen.
     
    My earliest memory is....walking along an Irish pot holed road listening to my Grnadfather recall his experience of fighting for the freedom of Ireland. His storytelling and singing of this part of his life created a love of all things daring and adventurous. I was less than three then.
     
    At school I ... used to doodle and daydream alot.
     
    My first relationship was... with the best looking guy from the privalte College. This was the start of my alliance with younger guys. I was only fourteen when I entered this very innocent step of my life.
     
    My father always told me that...."The road gets you nowhere!" I obviously listened to his advive. Hehehe.
     
    I wish I hadn't ... ate meat or smoked.
     
    My most humiliating moment was ... getting a pass in Honours Maths paper in High School.
     
    My happiest moment was ...  giving birth to a son and then a daughter two years later.
     
    At home I cook .... antipasto and fritatta, right now.
     
    My last meal would be ... scallops and oysters on bed of rocket with lashings of Italian dressed cabanata.
     
    My favourite gadgets are ... my cell phone, camera and lipstick.
     
    I'm very bad at ... doing more than one thing at a time and been patient. I already did this and lost it somewhereEye-rolling
     
    It's not fashionable, but I love ... getting around in my nightware into late hours of morning during weekends.
     
    Friends say I am ... impulsive, creative and rational bohemian.
     
    Animals that I have been compared to .... monkey when I was teenager, dolphin later on and now almost any gift I receive has a butterfly motif. Am not sue what to think of that oneThinking. Personally, I would say I can be the perfect LionessTongue out
     
    The song I'd like to be played at my funeral would be ... I Hope You Dance by Ronan Keating.
     
    My greatest fear is ... ending up with disgusting food and a debilitating disease in a retirement home,
     
    The hardest and most rewrading thing I have ever done is ... leaving the father of my childern and my home in the bush, eight years ago.
     
    The last belly laugh I had was ... finding myself on the Go Kart track driving against the kids.
     
    What I don't find amusing are ... large and flavoured lattes. What's with quantity and adultery? I also don't tolerate ill mannered humansAngry
     
    The most frequent question I have been asked is ... Where is your accent from? Canadian, Scottish, Welsh and few guess that I may have a tinge of Irish in there somewhereTongue out
     
    Cat or dog ... definitely cat, independent, clean and don't need to be walked!Cat face

    A TASTE OF IRELAND FOR THE NEW YEAR

     

    img235/4959/leaffc9.jpg

    The Prayer of St. Patrick

    I arise today Through the strength of heaven;

    Light of the sun,

    Splendor of fire,

    Speed of lightning,

    Swiftness of the wind,

    Depth of the sea,

    Stability of the earth,

    Firmness of the rock.

    I arise today Through God’s strength to pilot me;

    God’s might to uphold me,

    God’s wisdom to guide me,

    God’s eye to look before me,

    God’s ear to hear me,

    God’s word to speak for me,

    God’s hand to guard me,

    God’s way to lie before me,

    God’s shield to protect me,

    God’s hosts to save me Afar and anear,

     Alone or in a mulitude.
