About Moi!
It's Me! Maryse!
My name is Maryse (pronounced Ma-Reese). The french pronounciation sounds more like “Ma-rrrreeeze” (roll that R!)
I am a “thirtysomething” mother of none (unless you include my 3 “min-pins”). I am originally from Montreal Canada (born and mostly raised), but moved to Florida in my early 20′s.
While my friends and family remain in Canada, I have forged new friendships in the U.S. and return home roughly once a year when I am craving a taste of home, snow and delicious Poutines!
My husband and I own and operate our own business (with the help of our employees, of course), but I thoroughly enjoy my hobbies and they help keep my “workaholic-ness” (is that even a word?) at bay.
My number one hobby is reading (I’m on a Vampire kick right now – yah I know, not so original given the obvious “Twilight” success, but hey – everyone needs a “guilty pleasure”).
I enjoy Horror movies (all kinds, but my favorites would be asian horror)
I also collect a particular 80′s toy sensation – the “Cabbage Patch Kids” (another guilty pleasure that creeps many of my friends out), and I enjoy my Saltwater tanks (one where I collect my own species while Kayaking and boating, and one all decked out in purchased corals and pretty fish – all of which I hope to blog about in the future).
Oh and I am also a member of the Reptile enthusiasts “club” (as I keep numerous lizards and snakes)…
Hrmmm…from reading this back again, I see this could make for a very creepy horror movie on it’s own – Vampires, snakes and dolls. Yup – perhaps I am a little “off”…
Oh yes…if you ended up here while searching for the WWE Wrestler / Diva “Maryse” who shares my name, I am obviously not her.
