My name is Marisa. It's been almost 7 years since I discovered the
Internet and I just love it. I seem to learn new and exciting stuff each and every
day. I have made countless new friends right here
on the WWW, by way of chat rooms, groups, email, etc.
I was born in Montreal, Canada, on a beautiful spring afternoon. You can check out
one of the obligatory nude baby pictures that my parents took way
back when. (I won't tell you when)! I set up a web site, MontrealSurf,
with all sorts of Montreal-related links. Check it out and don't forget to
leave me a message.
I am married to a wonderful
husband, (George) for 19 years, and have a beautiful
daughter, (Marie Christine). She is
11 years old and is
constantly drawing something or other. She gave me this drawing to post here. She is just as excited about the net as her
mother is! Check out her own home page! In 1999 I was part of my daughter's school's parents'
committee where I set up their very own web site.
I am a working
mom, and when I'm not too busy running around keeping my
family happy, I love to be outdoors, as well as, de-stress myself in front of my computer.
I like to search the net for new ideas and meet new and interesting people. I also love to
design web pages. Last February 1998, I started my own part-time web design business. Check it out ! I
named it Alexram Web Page Designs.
Help me spread
the wwword around! Thru this venture I have met some interesting business
owners and it has helped me expand my knowledge of the Internet and of other
types of businesses.
My full time
job is Manager of Accounting Services, specializing mainly in the Management
Accounting sector. For the last 16 years I worked for a large high tech
manufacturer of printed
circuit boards. Then in early October of 2000, I decided try something
new. I needed a big change in my life. So I dared to start a new risky
adventure by working in a start-up company that specializes in Photonics
Devices for the global communications market.
Only time will tell if I made the right decision. In the meantime, I am
having a blast!
The latest
addition to our family, is Tyson, our Golden
Retriever. His previous owner didn't want him any longer, so my husband
adopted him. Our daughter had been constantly asking to get a dog, but
always came up with excuses to say no. We finally gave in May 2000. He was
15 months old when he came to live with us. It has been difficult to
re-train him, but he is now so much part of our family, that we couldn't
dream of not having him around.
In May 97, my
dream of owning a Mustang came
true. Call it my mid-life crisis, but, what the heck, you only live once! I
sold it two years later. :( Let's just say it's not too practical if
you have a family. I sure did love driving it though. It brought out the wild woman in me.. hehehe!!.
She was a
5-speed '95 model and ran like a mustang should.
The summer of 98, we drove cross Canada for
our summer vacation and had a ball. It was such a rewarding experience. Read all
about it here.
In the
summer of 99, one of our wishes came true.
For years both George and I were dreaming of owning our own sailboat and sail across the
many lakes and rivers we have in our area. Well this time we stopped gabbing and went into
action. We went out and bought one! She is not a fancy or big sailboat but she's dear to us.
She is a 25- feet, 1976 Challenger. Made right here in Quebec. She
is docked at the Baie
D'urfé Yacht Club. Needless to say we
have been on cloud 9 eversince we got her. I took boating courses one winter at the
nearby Royal St.
Lawrence Yacht club to acquire some much-needed knowledge before I set sail. You can read more about our sailing adventures on our sailing page.
Well that's it for now. Don't have much more
to say. I will be updating this page from time to time, so do come again!
