For these interviews, we pick people who add value to our community \u2013 in the blog, in the forums, in the projects. Plainly \u2013 activities that make crowdSPRING a better community. Be professional, treat others with respect, help us build something very special, and we\u2019ll take notice. We\u2019re very proud to feature Ann Lowe (crowdSPRING username: solarcap) today. Ann lives and works in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. 1. Please tell us about yourself. Hi Everyone, My name is Ann Lowe and I am a resident of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, the Nation\u2019s capital city\u2026.Yes I went there\u2026. Sorry Toronto and those of the world that believe that Toronto is the Capital of Canada, it is not! I live here with my Husband and our two teen Boys and of course my dog Jake. All men\u2026.the testosterone levels in my home are so high that the toilet seat automatically rises in relinquishment to the male powers. Girl power doesn\u2019t live anywhere in my home except my office. Designs, logos, girlfriend photos and organization, not something you will find anywhere else within the walls of my home. I do however have a vintage set of leather hockey gloves hanging on the wall! Homage to growing up in a home with three brothers and a Dad as avid players and watchers of our national sport! I grew up all across Canada; my Father was a Military man. When I moved here and got married I said that once I had children I wouldn\u2019t move until they were old enough to go to University. I never wanted them to feel like the new kid, something I had experienced at least eight times before I turned 18. They have the same friends that they have had since birth. I think that is really cool! Being a wife and mother are very important in my life but that is not the only thing that defines me. I am a 20 year old stuck in the body of a 44 year old woman. I love top 40 music, everything colourful and dancing around my kitchen with a \u201cmore juice than vodka\u201d martini! I can sit for hours looking through design magazines at Chapters and get lost in writing out website addresses that I intend to visit at some point. I am quirky, crazy and love to watch CNN to the extent that I now feel it is some sort of strange addiction."}
