We already know each other's pets, but what about POTD citizens?

[C.C.'s Mom]

Name: Brigitte
DOB: May 25 1969 (yeah, old...)
Reside: Near Frankfurt am Main/Germany. I'm originally from The Netherlands and lived mainly in Amsterdam.

Pets: Rudie and Eddy (my rescue cats) and Cookie, my Golden Retriever.

I'm married since 6 years. My husband is German and the reason why I moved here (I'm very, very homesick).

Job:
I'm freelancing, doing bits of work here and there. I do some translating, some editing. I also write articles every now and then. I teach Dutch at the adult education center one evening a week.

My hobbies:
Walking the dog!
I love to read! I mainly read books written by English and Irish female writers.
Recently I got addicted to quilting and spend many weekends upstairs in my sewingroom. I also sew my own clothes.
A very important hobby is the Dutch women club. We're about 10 Dutch women living in this city and we meet about once a week to chat, drink too much coffee and eat nice Dutch cakes
I would like to get into gardening, but so far the dog made it impossible.
Since we have a sat-tv, we receive Dutch tv and we spend way too much time in front of it. Only positive is that my husband starts speaking Dutch (okay, only from commercials, but it's a start!).

Music:
Anything alternative from New Wave, Grunge and Nu-Rock. My favorite bands include Wolfsheim, Joy Division, Dead Can Dance...
My other favorite is Celtic Rock and music. Seven Nations and Brother are favorites there.

Favorite Movie:
I don't go to the movies too often. There are hardly any non-dubbed movies here, so we usually wait till it comes out on video. My all-time favorite is the Godfather thrilogy and Star Wars. I also loved Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter. My favorite since I was a teenager is The Rocky Horror Picture Show (and musical once a year)

Travelling:
We go on one big holiday each year. Our next big holiday will be Australia and New Zealand. Once a year I go to America, but just to visit relatives.

Dream:
We want to buy a farm in The Netherlands. We don't want to do any farming, just having enough space to have more dogs, more cats, an old horse or two that nobody wants, some chickens and maybe an old cow. I would like to live in Groningen, where there's always wind and lots of water.

The attached picture was taken in Austin (TX) last year while I was holding (somewhat) Priscilla The Cat.
