I've been eating way too much Canadian bacon and I've practically been drinking maple syrup during this vacation. I'd better start working out again before I have to go back to Lalaland.
Canada has been so fab! Here's me hiking with my good friend Jonathan.
I love fishing in Canada.
I'm going to take the kids to Canada for the rest of the summer to visit with my parents. My dear hubby has to stay in L.A. as it's too soon to take vacation from his new job. It will so be nice to see all of my good old Canadian friends. Tad (left) and Dale (right) are a lovely couple of guys that I know. The last time I saw them was at their wedding. I can't wait to hang with them again.
We all needed a break from L.A. this weekend so we went up to Big Bear. I walked through poison ivy and now I'm friggin' itchy but other than that it was a nice day.
We've almost completely moved in!
We made it! L.A. has been great!
We're moving!!! My husband just got offered a job in L.A. and we're on our way to start our new adventures. The kids are so excited!
Leaving Juarez for the second time in my life has caused me to reminisce about my childhood there. This is me in my rebellious stage. As a teenager I was really well behaved, got straight A's and was an all around goody-goody. Then I met Chico (left) and he was a bad influence on me. My mother asked one of the cool nuns at my school to talk to me about my wicked ways. Sister Bernadette set me back on my path.
Here's me with my girls, Juanita's Bandidas Benditas. Did I ever tell you about these wonderful ladies? They're a group of local nuns who I've been training in self-defence and protective-offense. The plan is that we're going to start bustin' some ass to get the streets cleaned up for the kids in the poorer neighbourhoods near where I live. So far we've been doing pretty well and have reclaimed a lot of territory. We're fierce!
I went to Switzerland a few months ago for a break from my husband and the kids. It was so relaxing. All I did was eat and spa, spa and eat. Fabtastic! I gained about 25 lbs on this trip but lost it quick enough when I got home and had to start chasing the kids and housewifing again.
This is me and my pal Bao Xishun , the tallest man in the world, at Disneyland (or was it Disney World, I can't remember as it was a whirlwind, spur-of-the-moment jet-setter's weekend trip and we were partying all the time). He's such a cool guy.
I miss Canada sometimes. I especially miss Tim Hortons . Drinking Tim Hortons coffee is a national pastime in Canada. We all love it and will do anything for it! If you're an on-duty cop or dress like a ho they give you free coffee. Last time we visited my parents in Canada my husband took off with my purse in the car and I couldn't find enough change around the house to buy a cup. Here's me on my way to get coffee.
It's amazing who you'll run into at Tim Hortons. Here's me and the free coffee gang. We're known as the T-Hoes. OMG! I wish Betty White would get over herself one of these days. Not everybody wants your autograph hun! She's fun to hang with though.
My favourite place: On the RED CARPET! NY Fashion Week '06
I just got back from a shopping trip in Europe with one of my favourite ladies. I spent way too much. My credit cards are maxed! It was so embarassing: there we were at Emporio Armani and my card was declined. I put all my stuff back and later on at the hotel there was a knock at my door. It was Whoopi. She'd gone back and picked up all the stuff I couldn't buy and brought it to me. She is so sweet! What a great friend!
No, I wasn't ever on the show but I did visit the 90210 kids often. My friend Jenny Garth let me take her place in this publicity still while she ran to get a sandwich. And, yes, Shannen Doherty was mean to me that day.
Adiós a todos mis amigos! Good-bye Juarez! :(
After spending nearly two years back in my childhood home of Juarez, getting back in touch with old friends and family and working on business contacts for my clothing boutique I am following my dear husband to his new job in Los Angeles, with kids in tow. It's going to take a lot of getting used to but we'll manage. I will miss Mexico dearly.
I have a big blended family (7 children) who I love a lot. They get on my nerves often but I wouldn't trade them for anything.
I like to pretend I'm Lucy Ricardo sometimes. No kidding! I dress up! So does my husband (as Ricky not Lucy)! AND!!! He finally let me in the show!!! My hubby and I started a Lucy and Ricky skit show back in Canada and perform at clubs once in a while when we go home to visit my Mom and my Dad.
I'm a people person and it gives me great joy to know you all!
Luv and hugs, Juanita
