- What do you do in "real life"?
I'm a mom of 3 kids - two are autistic, and one is 16 going on 30! In terms of a job, I work for a dentist in town, as well as casually for Canada Post. I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up, but I sure hope I figure it out soon!

I'm pretty much a pop/rock/classic rock kinda girl. Do NOT like screamo or any kind of music where there's a bunch of yelling and I can't understand a word being said...I like to sing along with my music! While I appreciate classical music, it's not something I listen to on a regular basis.
