Hey there,
I came across your blog on WordPress. I haven’t spent enough time on it yet, and will have to do so later, but reading your description of you, I’ve found we have many similarities! There are a few other things I saw as well that surprised me, like Deanna Hoak’s blog link, when I just discovered her only two days ago, also by accident. Strange!
Look forward to reading more later.
Good to meet you, Steph – I look forward to exploring the strange coincidences between our lives. 😉 Also, always a pleasure to meet someone who is making their living at freelancing. Gets me through the dark days when I’m convinced it’s all been a terrible waste of time and I’m never going to make any worthwhile money at all. Oh, the joys of self-employment…
Aw, this is so cute! Look at our first meeting. Way back in July!
I love this list about you and I still can’t get over how similar we are. The major diff is that you’re a mum and I don’t plan on having kids. And I forgot you were also a vegetarian…and an olive eater! I LOVE olives – I can’t ever be without them. Oh boy, when we get together, it’s going to be easy to have a wonderful feast! I don’t know anyone else who’s vegetarian besides Colin and my friend in Ottawa, who is actually a bit of a flexitarian (she’ll eat fish and make a few other exceptions).
I know a few flexitarians myself. My favourites are the ones who say, rather defensively, “Oh no, I don’t eat any meat at all. Apart from chicken. And fish. And sometimes bacon. But apart from that, I’m a strict vegetarian.”
I’m not an evangelical vegetarian by any means, but statements like this make want to challenge people. I love it when they get defensive and try to reclaim the moral high ground and justify calling themselves vegetarian – I get the devil in me and wind them up terribly, purely for my own evil amusement. Hehehehe.
