I AM DIVERSE WITH UNDERLYING COMPLEXITIES. I am happily married (25yrs.). My husband is my world. I have several children and grandchildren who are the loves of my life. I am an animal lover. Sam(1yr.) is my beagle and my best bud and Chance(9yr.) is my cat who pretty much runs my house and does as he pleases..Cajun French from Louisiana is my heritage but moved to Cali 21 yrs ago. I love my job teaching Special Ed Children. Trucks are my vehicle of choice."The hardest thing in life is to learn which bridge to cross and which to burn." "Never allow someone to be your priority when you are merely their option." "I am too blessed to be stressed and too anointed to be disappointed."Lagniappe derives from New World Spanish la ñapa, "the gift," and ultimately from Quechua yapay, "to give more." The word came into the rich Creole dialect mixture of New Orleans and there acquired a French spelling. It is still used in the Gulf states, especially southern Louisiana, to denote a little bonus that a friendly shopkeeper might add to a purchase. By extension, it may mean "an extra or unexpected gift or benefit."
