This is a great thread, nice to meet the gals behind the Koobas. Lots of interesting women here. Okay here goes:
My name is Janine, I live in Queens, New York now, but was born and raised in South Africa. I have a sister, who's only a year younger than me and my mom, that I'm very close to, even though they live in South Africa, we talk on the phone every week and one of us make the trip at least once a year. I've been in the US for about 7 years now, came for a job and adventure and just haven't left yet. I'm 37, single, no kids, but have two kitties and a bf of 6 years (yeah, I know, we're both just not really the marrying kind). I'm a CPA and work for a large public accounting firm (BTW, my bag shopping gets out of hand during tax season, it relieves the stress, well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). My other passions in life are books and animals. Anyway, here's a pic of me, sent to me by a friend, since I'm the only person in the world who doesn't have a digital camera. Not the most flattering, but it's all I have.
