About Me

tweetybrrd
I was born June 18th, 1961 on Father's Day to Earl & Martha Sibbald. Was raised in the township of Wainfleet where my parents still live in the house my father built. I have 1 younger brother. I graduated Port Colborne High School in 1978 and went on to Sheridan college where I studied animated cartooning. Do to major problem with my knees and many surgeries, I never completed my college education at Sheridan. I took piano lessons when I was younger and even won a Gold Medal in the Niagara Falls Kawanis Music Festival. I went on to learn how to play many instruments including, baritone sax, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar and bit of the banjo. I went on the road with a band from Oshawa for 3 years, playing all over Ontario before moving back to Niagara, living in Welland and played bass guitar in a few local bands for about 15 years. I Love to draw & paint. I am self taught in crocheting and I love all kinds of crafty things to do.

Getting Close to Half Way!

Well another good week at WI. Am down another 2.8 pounds for a total of 56 pounds. 6 more pounds to go to the half way mark.

Had a great NSV this week..... I am down another size in jeans. Into a 42 now! Woohooooo! I still have to get a pic taken of me. Will work on getting that done this weekend so you can see the difference instead of just hearing about it!

Have to go for a stress test this afternoon. Think it is a total waste of time but my new doctor is very very thorough. Will see how it goes!
