My life, the traveling circus.
|
| Name: | Mala |
| Location: | London, United Kingdom |
| Bio: | I am a relatively happy woman, who is fortunate enough to be a stay at home Mum to my two kids. My daughter was born in 2005, and my son was born in 2007. Yeah, there is just about 20 month's difference between them. Am I nuts? LOL - I ask my self that question very often!
I refer to my family as the traveling circus. That's coz in the last five years we have shifted home from three different cities in the US, to Montreal, Canada and we now live in London, UK. In between all this madness, due to the fact that I have visited Trinidad and Tobago so often and for such long periods, I can honestly say that I have lived there for almost six months. Yeah, I was visiting family there. *grins*
Oh, all those shifts that I mentioned above, are not counting the house shifting that we did within the cities themselves. As my husband gets transferred a lot, (no, he is not in any army!) I really don't know how long we will be based in London. For now, I just hope that this posting will be longer than out last posting to Montreal; which lasted all of eleven months!

Sorry, but this LJ is for friends only. I do tend to blab a lot on my LJ, and didn't want some stranger out there to google me and find out everything that there is to know about me.
If I have friended you, and you have no clue as to who the hell I am – sorry, but I just came across your journal and wanted to keep an eye on it without searching for it again. If you are friending me, do drop me a line introducing your self, and you will most probably be added. With regard to friends, the more the merrier.
Also, please do ignore the bitching and the terrible potty mouth - yeah, I am trying to work on both.

I am one of those people who for some strange reason absolutely loved studying. As a result, I have spent a good part of my live in different academic instructions. This resulted in two masters and a pretty warped sense of humor, so please do excuse the same.
Before I forget, I have majored in history, so all you history lovers out there; talking about the past is something I absolutely enjoy!

I *love* traveling and have been fortunate enough to have traveled a bit so far... hope to keep adding to the map below...
