11 Random facts about me
1. I love to sit in the front row at the cinema and be enveloped by the screen.
2. I dislike pears intensely - the taste, the texture, everything.
3. I gave birth to my son using self-hypnosis and no other form of pain relief; it was an amazing experience.

10. I briefly sang in a Bossa Nova band as a teenager (now I just sing nursery rhymes to my little one)
11. I'm a Pisces and I fit a lot of the typical descriptions of that sign, good and bad!

11 Q’s from Laura
1. What is your earliest childhood memory?
I'm about 9 months old and in a baby walker for the first time, in my brother's room with the purple walls, my feet touch the ground and I can MOVE independently... there is a jingling sound as I move, my hands are holding orange plastic, the sensation is pure JOY!

2. Did you ever eat or drink anything in the store and paid for it later, instead of the other way around?
No but sometimes I'd like to do this when I'm really hungry and shopping!
