Blog Every Day in May – Day 1 – me in 250 words
Born in Perth, Western Australia.
An only child. My parents divorced when I was thirteen.
Would only eat green food at the age of five – seriously, Mum dyed my mashed potato green and I ate it ALL up! Went to a private girls school with a mint green uniform. Noice.
Moved out of home at 18. Attended Curtin University where I started off with a degree in PR but ended up with one in Politics. Fell into hospitality along the way which stuck.
Had my first major heartbreak at 24.
Was a five star restaurant tart/Manager and ended up being the Maître D at Jacksons Restaurant, one of Perths most awarded restaurants – most.divine.job.ever.
Got married at 29 and gave up most.devine.job.ever to move to Ayers Rock and work here with husband. Lush. Not the being married bit. Awful. Got amicably divorced at 32 and moved back home to Perth.
Got a cushy new job as a EA to wife of head chef at most.devine.job.ever.
Had lots of “interesting” internet dates. Mr Point Five was number three. He never went home after our third date.
Was engaged, up the duff, a resident of South Hedland, married and a Mum all within eleven months.
Far out.
Lived in Hedland for just over two years, then hubby was transferred to Boddington where Master J was born. Lived there for 2.5 years and moved to Cranbrook (SW Western Australia) where we are now. We will prolly move again in a year or two – casualty of Mr Point Fives job.

Love love love! And I think I was about 260-something, so you kicked my arse 😉 xx
Good job. Love your story! x
Awesome story! Loved how you got it in close to 250 words!!
I also met my husband on the internet! 5 babies later and nearly 9 years together, we totally made it work! Plus he’s hot!
Look forward to following along on your challenge!
What did you eat at the restaurants? Surely you sampled the goods? Do tell. So glad your path got straighter! xxxx
I met my husband via radio , yes I an that old. Lovely story. I am older so I have more to tell lol.
Hedland totally caught my attention. My last name is Hedlin so I had to do a few double takes!
Via RADIO – thats heaps romantic, the sound of a voice…the innuendo’s…..
Oh my Lordy! What didnt we eat? We got dinner cooked for us each night about 530 which was lovely but we got to sample fois gras, truffled stuff, milk-fed veal, just AMAZING foods. I came into work one afternoon and there was a baby suckling pig all curled up and “asleep” in the roasting pan. Soooooo yummy.
Wow!! Thats awesome 🙂
