Want to Know Me?

Posted by: Theresa Date: March 7, 2011 In: Frugal-Tips

Hi Fellow Canadians.

Its been a very long time since I’ve introduced myself, and I felt perhaps I should do it again. And Give you all a chance to know me better.

I’m known as HappyCappy as my online presence here at Canadianfreestuff.com

My Real name is Theresa Bruce, and I am currently over the age of 29 ( a real lady will not tell you her correct age LOL)

I have been married going on 15 years. ( Been in love for over 18 years)

I have 2 Kids.

My oldest is my son whom is 15 years old, and a daughter that is 12 years old.

My favorite food is Fish. I love all seafood.

I live in a small town in Northern Alberta. Where its cold in the Winter, and warm in the summer.

My favorite season is summer of course. We have a leased Lake Lot, and Spend most of summer enjoying the lake, and I sometimes have been known to disappear from the online world for weeks on end in the Summer.

I love to Travel when I can afford to. We’ve been to the USA a few times, and been to Mexico about 6 or 7 times. We would like to do Cuba next year if our financial plans allow us to do so.

I also help when I can with mostly volunteer work within my kids extra activities.

I am currently a Stay at Home Mom, that owns Canadianfreestuff.com

I have worked most of my life on One project or another during the course. I have worked on a ferry, worked at a Car registry Place, Owned a Gas Station, Worked as a Manager at an Industrial Supplies Store, I have worked as a Sales Person for a Computer Service store selling Xerox machines. My college Education was in Business.

I never took any schooling in Web design or Seo experting, but have simply went to school of “Hard Knocks”.

I took up going to the Gym this Fall. I Now go to the gym up to 3 times a week, usually at least 2 times. although I don’t hate going, I can’t say I love going. But its like Brushing teeth, I just do it. I lost about 15 lbs so far. And currently need to step it up, so I can lose the next 10 lbs I would love to lose.

My daily routine is to wake up with coffee in hand. Get online, and Post what deals have landed in my email box in the middle of the night. Tweet a bit. Go grab a Shower and get ready for the day. I might go downtown if I need to do anything such as banking or grocery shopping. Usually I blog again, and tweet again. Facebook check in. Read emails again, blog again.

Kids Get home from school – Go Help coach if It’s a Tuesday or Thursday. Wednesdays are the most hectic. Running of kids begin. Monday, Wednesday & Fridays are Gym nights for me. And Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, currently are run the kids everywhere nights as well.

I rarely Enter Contests, or Enter for freebies, or even collect coupons, I am busy enough finding everything, I don’t have much to enter for much, so it must be a good one, in order for me to take time out to get it. Isn’t that sad? I mostly print off store coupons when I go to the city. I think I could totally get into the coupon thing, if I lived in a bigger center. I am always so happy to use coupons when I can. I love freebies as well, but rarely apply for them, as time is a big issue for me, and it takes time to enter all of them, so I’m pretty fussy these days on what I want to give up time for.

Contests – I will enter the odd Single Entry one, as again, I have no time to devote, and I know you must devote about an hour per day. I used to do contests, and had a nice winning streak when I did manage to have time.

If you came to my house un announced, you will find a house that looks well lived in. I have a hard time with life balance issues. I can’t seem to be a Perfect anything, and where my focus is, that’s whats perfect. So if that means I’m set out to blog lots, that’s where my time is. If My priority of the day is my kids and their activities, that’s what gets my focus. And unfortunately for my family this means, their laundry isn’t always done daily, or that my carpets get vacuumed daily. My housework always ends up last on my list of whats important. But when its house cleaning day, Family watch out, I make everyone work till the house is sparkling clean. My family hates it when I get into that groove. I envy everyone that makes their house look like a show home all day long every day. I wish I had that!

If you came over this minute, you would find scattered shoes at the boot porch, a pile of unfolded laundry on the coach, and a sink full of dishes waiting to be done. Yep I’ve blogged too much today! I really need to find Balance in my life!
