A Woman of Conviction ..

About Me

I am here exclusively to talk with friends, family and maybe new friends with no other motives of a "relationship".Otherwise, welcome all to 1129 W. CUBBON ST. SANTA ANA,CA.

My Interests

Family, Gardening, reading, cooking. I love construction and I love being a mom.I consider my children as a a gift not a burden and they have never given me any grief. My motto "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness"I am not a crazy soccer mom encompassing my children's every minute with activities. Children should be allowed to be children. Oh! I love to dance, Ballroom,salsas,cumbias,folklorico, I love all folk dancing even if I do not know how to dance a specific type I know I can learn quite easily, I will give it a go! I love slow dancing and can also be content being still and in a relaxed mode for a good book. I do enjoy double coupons when I shop, for I love a great deal! Why pay full price?

I'd like to meet:

Music:

As a child I listened to Big Band music,my Aunts were fans of Motown hits this I also listened to at the "Pedaso" I also love country western from the Sunday's at the "Pedaso" watching "Hee Haa". I enjoy a good polka dance and "conjunto" music. Baroque period music is remarkable especially the history and passion behind all composers. Composer Ennio Morricone.Scat artist like Mel Torme, Caterina Valente. Ella Fitzgerald,and Peggy Lee. I am not pretentious I just love all genres of music and feel as if each style is a delicious morsel to be savored.* "Pedaso" My Grandpa Jack and Grandma Alex had a piece of property in the City of Orange. from what my Aunt Lorraine has told me it means "Little piece" It was about an acre. Other family members had also purchased adjoining properties and many in Orange "knew" the "De Leons" in "Old Town Orange". ..ALEX-"IN MY MIND" EXPLAINS ABOUT ASPERGERS/AUTISM

Movies:

In my youth I loved horror films especially Mexican vampire movies at 3:00AM but as I grow older I have no taste for sorrows or violence. It just happened! I like silly movies, they do not have to have meaning just fun, or they can be dramatic, or artsy, actually anything!!! I am quite easy The musical "Oliver" ( I loved Jack Wild!!),"Goodbye Charlie", "The little fugitive" "Sayonara","Soylent Green", Sergio Leone movies(AKA Italo/ Westerns)countless!! I also love Mel Brooks comedies and parodies.Comedians like Jackie Mason and Weird Al. Bollywood and foreign films I enjoy. I love to laugh and I have plenty of fun without the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol. I work hard for my money so I do not subscribe to cable TV, I rather spend it on a trip or the holiday.

Television:

I do on occasion will watch 'Ghost Whisperer", "CSI" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" but again I am so busy with the boys.

Heroes:

There are many heroes but to me a hero can be anyone, particularly parents who do the right thing, and provide their children love without bullying. Not to contaminate relationships between brothers and sisters as a means of control. Parents have long since passed, as did my Grandparents and I am the matriarch of my family. "AUTISM AND ME"

RISKS

To laugh is - To risk appearing the fool. To weep is - To risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is - To risk involvement. To expose your feelings is - To risk exposing your true self...
