I blame Shantaram. It was sold to me as the "best book I would ever read". I still don't know what to think of it... some parts were great, some were easy to read, but in general this (almost) 1,000 pager was tough to get through if only because I found the author insanely narcissistic.
My name is Jo. I am a pretty average girl- with a pretty average life.
I am 30-something *gasp*, living and working in Vancouver and married to the only person I have met that is crazier than I am.
I work at a bank, and J. is a Combat Engineer with the Canadian Forces. We are trying to have a normal relationship- but it's tough since J. has been gone all the time... courses, pre-deployment, deployment, Olympics- the list goes on!
We have 2 fur babies- both American Eskimo dogs named Barley and Betsy.
We just had our first child, Zoey in March 2011.
We bought our first home in Port Moody BC about a few years ago and life is good!
The best parts are my fantastic HUGE kitchen with all new appliances (and I LOVE to cook- another challenge since I have been a vegetarian for 20 years, and J. needs half a cow a week to survive), learning to be a mom, and making lots of new friends!
The worst part is trying to adjust to quiet suburban life....
