A little about me, I’m a strong, independent, hardworking woman who was born and raised in Minnesota by a Mexican father and American mother. However, it seems they had me too young and chose to party like young people do instead of raising my brother and I. This means we basically raised ourselves, and I am damn proud of the woman that I have become and of the things that I have accomplished on my own. People who try to bring me down have no clue that I have achieved MORE than they have with NONE of the help that they have had. I often reflect on life and believe that many things happen for a reason. I was married once but apparently chose the wrong guy who decided to lie & cheat after 9 years, but such is life, and now I have moved to Southern Wisconsin with my adorable new guy Sam whom I've been dating for 2 years. We just bought a house together, and I DO quite adore him!! He is the sweetest boy that I have ever known. Interesting things about crazy me: -I am almost 32 & starting over in life yet again... -No matter how much I try to get away, the jackass ex-husband who cheated on me and the gal that he cheated with have probably found a way to access this private Facebook profile of mine. Can't forget about me, can you? Yes, I know, it was a stupid move on your part, and I'm surprised and laughing that I'm still in your thoughts. Check out my blog for sporadic updates on my happy life. -A lot of people say they swear a lot. I'm actually one of those people who DOES swear a lot. A LOT. -Most people live their life with no regret but I am not one of those people. -I am the only one in my family to receive an undergraduate degree, & the only one to receive a higher degree. -I love learning-try to learn something new everyday. -I do have a deep faith in God & Jesus but I am not a church goer- I do not believe we should allow one man's / woman's interpretation & opinions about the Bible/God to dictate our own ability to seek God. He gave us a brain to think about our own interpretations. -I love to write fiction & I'm a freak about grammar & spelling. Every time you use incorrect grammar or spell something incorrectly, a little piece inside of me dies. -I believe that the basis of human behavior lies in the self-esteem of humans. This means that I believe that all of our behavior is driven by the measure of confidence that we have in ourselves, right down to the very way you said hi to me today. -I have found out who REAL friends and NICE people are compared to the ones who casually decided not to talk to me anymore after my divorce. -I have a huge family (23 aunts & uncles and 50+ cousins). -I am very close to my brother Joey, who has three beautiful little boys, and I would kill for all of them! -A tarot reader told me the other day that I should be more proud of myself and to stop worrying so much about what other people think. I think I'll try that sometime.
