About Me

I'm also the proud mother of two little girls. My oldest is 4 years old and my youngest will be 2 in just a couple of months! Between working and raising these two kids, it's hard for me to find time just for myself, so I guess this is as close as I get...lol! When I do have a little free time, I love hanging out with my friends - going to see live bands and concerts, shopping, traveling, dancing, reading or just hanging out at home with a good movie and some popcorn...Representing my mother's heritage:Representing my father's heritage:Representing my daughters' heritage...

My Interests


Get this widget.. ....

Hmmmm...where do I begin. I like to think I have a wide array of interests and I try not to limit myself from trying new things. But if I had to pick a favorite, I would have to say that I LOVE Latin dancing. Granted, I don't really have too many opportunities to go to the clubs for that any more, but it'll always be something I love doing. Who would have thought, little ol' me would learn to do something like that and love it. But what can I say, I had a wonderful teacher! In addition to that, I like to hang out with friends, listen to all kinds of music, go shopping, travel, find new ways to make money and last but certainly not least, I LOVE spending time with my daughters...after all, they are my world.I also enjoy watching and attending sporting events whenever it's possible. I absolutely am a die-hard Buckeye fan, so when college football season rolls around, me and my crew spend our Saturdays cheerin' on the Bucks. But I also like college basketball, soccer, tennis (Loved me some Andre Agassi, but now that he's retired I follow Mark Phillippousis), some baseball.

I'd like to meet:

I love meeting new people of all ages, races, genders, etc...The human race is an interesting one and nothing fascinates me more than observing human behavior.I have a complete open-door policy...if you're interested in adding me as a friend, then don't be shy! Like I said, I love meeting new people from all over.

Music:


imikimi -I grew up surrounded by all types of music. Anywhere from classical to rock, latin to pop. Put on anything with a good salsa beat and my daughter, Arianna and I can't sit still. Since I grew up playing classical music on the violin and piano, I still listen to it to relax at times. My all time favorite though would have to be the obvious...POISON, but right up there would be PRINCE. My best-friend and I have made it a tradition to attend a Poison concert once a year so that we can treat ourselves to a day of re-visiting our adolesence and not giving a damn. If you never have seen either one of these two acts, I suggest you catch them on tour if you can because they both put on AMAZING shows!

Movies:

I LOVE a good movie. I'm not too particular about what kind of movie it is as long as it keeps my attention throughout the entire film. There's nothing worse than realizing they showed all the good parts in the trailers. And naturally, there's nothing better than a scary movie that keeps you awake all night or a romantic tear jerker that you become completely imersed in. I was a big fan of all the "Brat Pack" movies growing up like "The Breakfast Club", "Sixteen Candles", "Pretty In Pink", "Can't Buy Me Love", etc...but my all time favorite would have to be "Scarface" or "The Godfather" trilogies. I don't know...there's just something about a man in a suite holding a machine gun...lol.

Television:

T.V....now don't get me wrong, I watch my fair share of t.v. shows, but nowadays the t.v. tends to be more of a background noise while I'm cleaning, cooking or playing with my daughters. But I mainly find myself watching shows on Discovery Health, Animal Planet, Will & Grace, Prison Break, ER, House, Grey's Anatomy, Depserate Housewives, just about anything on TLC, Flip This House, and That 70's Show (love Wilmer Valderrama)! I'm also a total reality show junkie and of course I have to watch my General Hospital. Don't laugh...I know it's pathetic

Books:

I've always loved books growing up, especially thrillers. But unfortunately, I don't get to sit down for more than five minutes at a time any more, so reading has become a rarity around here. When I do get to read something, it's more along the lines of self-help, parenting, or home decor books.

Heroes:

There's no one that I look up to more or want to be like than my mom. She has been everything to me throughout my life after my father passed away when I was only five and she showed me what it is to perservere through life no matter how many obstacles are thrown your way.
