Hobbies: Skiing, jogging, golf, gardening, jigsaw puzzles

Fears: Spiders, needles, death

Pets: Two cats - Ollie and Kramer - Kramer is about 15...Ollie about 13. They are fat and they sleep with me.

Favourite TV Shows: Boston Legal, Grey's Anatomy, Dog The Bounty Hunter - I HATE the reality shows....hate hate hate them. You could not pay me to sit down and watch American Idol or Survivor....and all those bachelor shows make me cringe....used to watch fear factor a bit, but even that got too much for me.

Favourite Actors: Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, Anthony Hopkins, Sam Rockwell, Ed Norton

Favourite Movies: Parenthood, Love Actually, Monters Inc, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (original version!), Little Miss Sunshine, Heat

Favourite Music: Oasis, Dave Matthews, Eve's Plum, James, Morcheeba, Offspring, Headstones, Green Day, Social Distortion - I am a bit of a rocker at heart. In high school was very into Classic rock.....now it's more modern rock.

Favourite Place To Be: Sitting on the lake at my grandfather's cabin, A secluded beach in mexico, Walking in the woods, Skiiing a perfect run on Whistler, On the golf course, On a patio with friends. Vegas. Love Vegas...but only in small doses

Passions: Animals - .I give generously to a few animal charities and I volunteer at an abadoned horse sanctuary. Big dream one day is to have a horse sanctuary of my own, on a big beautiful piece of property in B.C.....complete with Vineyard and asskicking house.

Addictions: Facebook, playing the card game "Hearts" online, Cobb salads.

Dislikes: Bad drivers, ignorant people, any kind of abuse to animals, the word sandwich (Don't know why....it makes me embarassed just to say the word), Christmas - I know, it makes me sound like a grinch, but Idon't like it. Too much pressure leading up to it, shopping is a nightmare, then you are stuck in a house all day with people you just really don't want to spend all day with. I get antsy. I have a tradition now- every year I go to Mexico by myself for two weeks. I sit on a beach, read, sleep, walk around, swim, drink, sleep some more. The best way to spend the holidays for me. I will do that every year til Idie.

Weaknesses: I can't cook to save my life. I am the most impatient person I know. I am a sucker for animals. Any animal. I procrastinate. I hate working out in the gym and try to put it off as much as Ican.....my house will be a complete pigsty until the moment I can't stand it anymore then I will ran around like a madman. I pay bills at the last minute. Macdonald's. I could eat it every day. Sick, isn't it? I'm not proud of that....and I DID see "Supersize Me"...it only made me want a big mac.
