About Me

Hi Everyone!! I wanted to let everyone know that the Santa fe Springs Parade was held today. And, wouldn't you know, I couldn't make it!! I had a stomach virus at the beginning of the week, and then my son decided to get it late last night, that is how life works :) But I had my favorite private eyes working for me at the parade, my nieces and cousins and other family members and they had their eyes peeled for me, somewhat like bananas, (hardy har har) and they reported back to me and let me know there was not one elephant in sight!! I am thrilled and tickled. I would like to thank all of you who signed the petition, now all i have to do is figure out how to take it down :) And thanks to all my friends who supported me in this cause, I know you all have a love for animals just as well as I do, we all have to be their voices, who else will? ~:)

My Interests

I like to design and make whimsical jewelry, and i like to keep up with my son as he is in his freshman year of high school. He is in chorus and is a baritone! How impressive! This year the school chorus and chamber choir have been invited to perform at the Disney Hall in Downtown Los Angeles. So, Im not "crazy" about living in Southern California, but I'm so proud that my son will be performing at the Disney Hall this year. My son is an awesome human being and just a wonderful young man. I know one day he will be grown up and hopefully find a beautiful young woman to be his wife and find his own "wings" and have his own life and home, but I am so thankful to God to have him in my life now as I have had some uncomfortable "ups and downs in my life. He has been my "constant" and I do thank God for that. Don't you think? =)

I'd like to meet:

Music:

Rickie Lee Jones, Edie Brickell, Susan Tedeschi, Bonnie Raitt, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Etta James, Teena Marie, Led Zepplin, Scorpians, Wolfmother, (I could be here forever) Buddy Guy, James Taylor, Jackson Browne, hot, hot hot, all of them, I love blues, so much improvisation in blues music, that is why i love it. the voices fly, vocals fly, acrobatic vocals. i will come back to this subject.... bye, bye for now......... ~:)

Movies:

One of my favorites has to be The Constant Gardener, That was one awesome flick, Steel Magnolias, A Christmas Story, Corrina, Corrina, ummm, I'll come back later, okay?...

Television:

Grey's Anatomy is one of my favorites as well as The Medium, My son loves to watch Heroes, it's a big thing with him and he and my nephew stop everything and we need to be home before it starts and the popcorn popped and everything in the house quiet for them. I keep up on that for them. I watch that because I like to keep abreast on the things that they like also. We have "Heroes" night as well as "Greys Anatomy" night and we also have "Deal or no Deal" Night at our house as well as my Mom and Dad's house if we are there since they live only 2 miles away since we go and visit often to plan meals and join in cooking as we did for thanksgiving. So meal days turn into television nights. Fun, huh? :)

Books:

Oooooh, I am just an avid reader and happen to read all kinds of books. I will say that I appreciate mostly non-fiction books. And I love inspirational, such as quotes from the Dalai Llama. I like reading up about the Course in Miracles. A very interesting philosophy. (That is what I choose to call it) I read just about anything and everything I can get my hands on, honestly, but I don't like to read anything dark or horrible/ horror-like, I feel that a waste of my brain and moods on terror-like "junk". I dont want to feed my brain scary, horror-like trauma. This world is filled with too much "stuff" as it is, and there are people and corporations that make their billions on exploiting people into more of this horrible "crap", only if we allow it, through the news and newspapers and periodicals, books, etc. I try to limit myself as much as possible.

Heroes:

My son, he is a beautiful and wonderful human being, Mi Abuelito y Abuelita. :)
