They sold me a horse and gave me a mule!!!

About Me

Row Factoids:I'm a 31 year old, 5 foot one and a half inch (gotta get that half inch in), filipina by birth, latin by injection (according to my hubby), mother of one, wife to the "One and Only", HR Generalist who loathes people that run late and don't call, am in love with my husbands pork chops and garlic cheese bread, am a dessert fanatic and reality TV junky who enjoys closing my eyes and feeling the wind blow back my hair and gently touch my face. I make mental notes of random words that I think sound beautiful and am a huge fan of corny jokes. I love watching children and am a huge animal lover. Crevices give me the heebie-jeebies. I have a life history that you could never imagine, but if you have some time and a hot cup of cocoa I will share. I am madly in love with my husband CJ, and am blessed to have a son that makes me laugh, gives me hugs and says, "It'll be ok mommy", when I'm feeling sad. I hate flying but do it anyway! I'm convinced I will one day win the Lotto and have already lined up those that are worthy to share in the winnings. I love forehead, hand and butt kisses :) and am quite the snuggle bug...I'll take a big bear hug over a romp in the sack any day! But don't get me wrong, as most people know (because I have no shame) my husband has tricks up his sleeves that still send me off to work weak in the knees and giddy as hell...and I enjoy that too!! I still look at my husband from a distance and smile. I love hearing my son's laugh as well as his singing in the shower. I'm an open book who knows who I can entrust all my darkest and deepest to and who I can't.(was that a contradiction? lol...open book with darkest and deepest?!! LOL) Lastly, although I've learned a lot over the years I realize I have a lot more learning and growing to do. My game plan? Live it, love it and enjoy it...mistakes and all, I shall have no regrets...I WILL ACHIEVE GREATNESS!

My Interests

Dancing (music comes on - and my body just moves), Reading (when I find a good book - I just can't put it down!), and napping (I'm going to make a great old lady...wake up, eat, sleep - REPEAT!), desserts, eating, a hot cup of cocoa and a warm blanket, staying in on rainy days with my hair pulled back with no make-up, researching things on the net, sunflowers and smiley faces! Oh and the newest...GAME OF MAO!!! Addicting card game and I LOVE IT!!! :) Thanks to my little sister and her honey for sharing it with me and CJ! :)

I'd like to meet:
