Donna

Hi , I am Donna and I'm 34. I am an aussie with a dutch mum and english Dad.

My Husband is Errol and he is 37, Romanian immigrant with Turkish mum and Romanian dad. I LOVE the romanian and turkish food and have learnt quite a bit from my mother in-law.

I love to cook especially when I have found a new exciting recipee. I have a close circle of friends, we all believe in letting our hair down occasionally and partying without the kids.

I have two amazing kids, Jessica 8 1/2  and Kaillid 3 in sept. I would have liked to be able to have more kids but that is our contribution to the population.

The current state of the world saddens me BUT I have faith in who I am and in the people around me.

I love watching docs and reading a little. I go through phases where for about a month no-one will see me except the top of my head and the cover of a book. Fortunately for my kids it doesn't happen too often.

I love cake and coffee.

I am a massage therapist.............stop the groaning. I need a massage more than you. At the moment I work one day a week.

Minti is a great resource and well done guys for getting it up and running. The three of you I can imagine are very proud. LOVE IT!!!!

I am nomes.  I am in Victoria Australia.  I have a hubby, a 4 year old boy a 2 year old girl, 2 cats and a dog.  I've been married for just over 3 years after waiting 10 years....bad bad man   I was a paper shuffler for about 3 years for a large retail store and then the same for a manufacturer for around 5.  I still shuffle paperwork for my home business. 

I love being able to be at home with my kids and still contribute to the household budget.  I love music.  I studied BMusic for one year and found, if I had stuck with it, at the end of three years I was guaranteed a teaching position.....not me.  So I finished my first year quite well and began to work full time.  I began concentrating my efforts on my vocal studies and then fell pregnant with number one.  After number two, I picked up singing again and went into business for myself helping others with their health. 

I used to be such an organised person until number one when all went haywire.  In recent months I have managed to focus some time into my obsessive behaviour of filing and organising things again.  My lack of organisation has caused me to take my business slowly, so I'm looking forward to the time I stop clipping my own wings and take flight.

I enjoy reading, and like my tv, steer towards sci-fi, thriller and mystery.  Not into soaps or cult programs, so I don't watch that much tv.

I like food and drink...can't pin point anything right now

I would like to be arty farty, but don't have the patience.  I like to know things and spend alot of time 'investigating'.  I like to have the facts. If someone can't tell me something, or I can't answer a question....I'll look it up.  Reknowned for that among my family and friends.  Not sure if this is a good or bad quirk.

This is turning out to be a novel, so I'll leave it at that. 

I LOVE MINTI!!!!

I am lindterbean.
Currently in Texas (yee-ha!)
Two step-teenagers - one starting college - so Minti is the only hobby I can afford
One fluffy cat - Cato, many neighborhood peacocks.
Married for two years, together for 12 - long story. (Hubby somehow manages to be more trouble than the kids)
Perpetual student, and love it!
Graphic designer for years and years, mostly work with food and packaging, it's very eenterestink! (You've probably seen some of it.)
Grew up in Asia, loved that too! (Miss it terribly) Child of nomadic parents.
Even though I love our two dearly, would like one more little one of my very own someday!
Love reading almost anything (except romance novels), math, science, animals, Tintin and Asterix comics, Disney, cartoons, painting, sushi,  swimming and ice cream (the last two cancel each other out!)
No matter how old I get I will never grow up. (But don't tell my kids!)

Intro to Izzy

  • My name is Isabel and I was born in the Philippines. I joined my mom and 2 half-brothers here in the U.S. when I was 14.
  • I've been married to MonkeyDad, my sould mate, for 9 years and we have a 17 month old son, Matthew.
  • We're planning on baby #2 very very soon, which I'm scared/worried/anxious about.
  • During our marriage, we've moved from North Carolina, to Arizona, and finally to Virginia where we currently reside.
  • With all the moving, it took me 8 years to finally graduate from college...so I'm quite proud of my degree. I'm thinking of going for a master's degree when I'm old and gray and there's no kids around.
  • I love to read, listen to classical music and pretend to be one of the players (I was a string bassist in a past life), and into crafts-though I can't seem to finish anything.
  • I run a very silly household, full of laughter, jokes, silly faces and horsing around.
  • Was once into Martial Arts (mixed style, kungfu, and finally settled into American Kenpo Karate)
  • I don't mind loading the dishwasher, but HATE unloading it.
  • I LOVE SNOW! I lived in the Chicago-land area for about 5 years and love love love the cold. I miss it now.
  • My world revolves around my son right now, so any and all hobbies are on hold - except of course for Minti.

Hello

by hrs2004Comment Published at 06:4506:4517 comments17 comments113 Visits113 VisitsReport
  • My name is Helen
  • I do have a middle name (see Matt's post) and it begins with an R, hence my user names HRS2004. That doesn't stand for how many hours I have spent online at Minti (as my boyfriend seemed to think!)
  • I have two sweet kids - Leala (pronounced Lee-la) is 2 1/4, and Nyle is 8 months. Leala is happy, mischievious and very independent. Nyle is the happiest, smiliest boy. Both are great (I'm not biased!)
  • I am "living in sin" with Nick, but we don't seem to find as much time as we like for the "sin" part - we may as well just get married!
  • I am off work on maternity leave until January next year, when I go back to work part-time to teach adults at a large organisation.
  • I love to read, mostly crime and thriller and I hate horror - too many scary things in real life to read about it for fun.
  • I spend far too much time online and my boyfriend would agree wholeheartedly with that statement. However, it keeps me sane and I have found some great sites (like this one) and saved a fortune using different cash back, freebie and shopping sites.
  • I can't seem to sit down and do nothing, ever. I end up getting involved in projects or courses or just doing something all the time. If I am sitting down with a cup of tea I need to at least read something - in dire emergencies I read ingredients lists!
  • We have just had builder's move  in (almost) to do some building work, so we will be living on a building site probably almost until Christmas (gulp). I think I will be making lots of cups of tea. We would normally do a fair bit of the work ourselves, but having taken ten years to do up our last place and now with the little ones, we are handing it over to someone else
  • Enough about me for now - I can get boring!
