About Me


I'm a Puerto-mutt {Rican & Russian} Born and raised in N.C. My daughter and I (and our name-less cat) moved to "The Great State of Kuwait", where I'm on my 3rd year of Government Contracting. I miss ton's of people, and would love to come home. Okay, not completely true- I'd rather drag every one over here, and I'm not sure where I'll end up living state-side, or if / when I'll return to the states. I mean, lets face it, we're a little defective in the US of A right now, while other Countires are prospering. I'm all patriotic and junk, but I don't want to come home and struggle... Kuwait's doing me good and I have an awesome job / boss. I plan to stay here a few more years if my job permits & God continues to see it as my path. Being secluded from every thing I've ever known, and starting my life over has been a bitter-sweet involvement. I've changed considerably these 3 years. Even though it's been painful, I don't regret a thing. I ♥ where it's all taken me so far & I can't wait to see God's plan for my life.

My Interests

I ♥: Shopping @ one of the bazillion malls in Kuwait, Heels-n-Jeans, Listening to *Loud* Music, Thai Food, playing with my 2 year old, my church, my chior, Anything outdoors, and obviously- I have a Myspace addiction... but it's my way of keeping in touch with everyone state side. Oh! And... I ♥ Tigers. I can't wait to go to Thailand to play with some!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone! I'm open to all kinds of people...

Music:

Old Rock, Southern Rock, Rap, R&B, Inspirational, Country... any thing but techo-ee-stuff.

Movies:

Anything funny or kidish. I'm not big on horror or super serious flicks. Entertainment should be entertaining, not depressing. I ♥ Encino Man, In The Army Now, Willow, The Goonies, Finding Nemo, Ice Age, Domino, & anything Disney.

Television:

The War At Home, That 70's Show, Nip/Tuck, Scrubs, Desperate Housewives, Weeds, George Lopez, and Nancy Grace. Kuwait doesn't air t.v. shows that are under 10 years old... so I'm not hip to these things & gotta buy em bootleg.

Books:

Right now, I'm reading "Matters of the Heart", "Toddlers for Dummies" & "Jesus, The Greatest Life of All"

Heroes:

I pick up little things from everyone I admire, from complete strangers to the closest of friends. God & My parent's are my rock.

All You Need To Know

Goals To return to the states (when I'm ready) financially secure, and able to open my own business. To put Aly through the best available school's. To stay focussed on what really matters and not get caught up in worldy things.

Don’t Dance Infront of Your Kid ;0)

I dance to stay in shape. I love dancing, and hate working out! So I "maintain" when no one's around but me and Aly. She likes to dance along. A few months shy of 2, I seriously doubted that she watch...
