What it do baby boo

About Me

About me? Just trying to get by on this crazy trip called LIFE and having a good time doing it..."People will forget what you said and what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou

My Interests

Mountains to the ocean. Love hiking, movies at home or at the theater, girls night out with friends, girls night with my daughter, travel, road trips, dive bars with no dress code, live music. I like to cook for the special people in my life. Want to ride a Harley before I die, preferably behind a fine man! Need to take salsa lessons as I am a white girl in a Latin woman's body! Love to play with our precious pup, hang out with my family listening to the old stories. I LOVE ALL MY COUSINS ON MYSPACE!
