Currently living in North Vancouver, Canada.
College: York University, Toronto
Occupation: Business Owner
I majored in French and minored in Italian and graduated 3 years later. I worked in Quebec and polished my academic french and returned to Toronto to work for CP Hotels in a bilingual job. Yes mom, I made use of my degree.
Things I've done along the way: Well , I'm celebrating 19 years of " bledded wiss" I mean "wedded bliss" this year and am officially mother of 2 teenaged daughters 16 and 13. My husband is a Captain in the Canadian Coast Guard and will, in time, be a Capt. "Stubing " type on the Love Boat. where I will take my place in sequined gown as "Mrs. Stubing".
Where I'd like to be in the future: Gee,I can picture myself at 50 on that Love Boat touring the world , retired from my million dollar business,serious philanthropist, lounging around the pool , exploring the ports of the world and being the dazzling mother of the bride two times over. Maybe at 60, a grandmother,jetsetter, fit young old lady cyling and hiking the mountains here in B.C. having seen the world, drinking lattes with my "old sea dog " husband of 40 years on the balcony of our waterfromt home.
The stupidest thing I did in high school: Missing my senior prom because I was dating a junior and spent the night throwing up in a cab requiring my boyfriend to undress me and put me to bed.
One thing I'll never forget: Having Japanese tourists at Repulse Bay Beach sit on my blanket and try to put their arms around me so their friends could take pictures they'd lie about when they got home. Every time a tour bus arrived , I'd have to brave the jellyfish and stay in the water till the buses left.
My best memory: Singing at the first McDonalds to open in Hong Kong for all the free food we could eat with the band we had put together .I still have that t-shirt that says McDonalds Hamburger in chinese characters.
Other things I remember: Rob McLaren telling me he couldn't go out with me because I reminded him of his sister. I wonder if he really had a sister.
Most of my memories revolve around different guys . I remember fondly old boyfriends and being in love for the first time ever with John McMillan .
I remember missing the senior class trip becuse I had to have my tonsils out.
I still have never been to Macau.
My most embarrassing moment: Getting lipstick on Eric Lee's white shirt collar (dancing I think ) and his mother reaming him out bacuse of it. Thanks Eric for helping me pass Chemistry . You were the reason I got through that class.
Something I've learned: The value of staying in touch with people who have made a lasting impact on who I am today.
How transitory Hong Kong was . I wish I had understood then how important friends are and to not lose contact with such a great group of people at such a memorable time of my life.
Something I'm proud of: Using my voice to sing about Something and Someone truly important to me.
Finding my life's partner and great complement to who I am.
Being a mother of 2 awesome daughters ( and getting to re-live my teenage years as they go through theirs)
Being a business owner and reaping the rewards for my own effort these past 7 years while setting hours that I schedule around my family.
Regret": Breaking up with Tim Fennell because I was bored one day. Sorry about that Tim!
