I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm one of the only brunette Jenna's you'll ever encounter and I'm a feisty Mexican-Scottish mix. I'm not too shy or modest, often sarcastic and I hate flying of any kind, yet I am required to do it once or twice a year. I'm joyfully married and just recently had a little boy. If you want to know more, look around here or drop me a line. Si hablo Espanol. Just in case you were wondering.

I'm giving a plug to my acupuncturist (Dr. Oliver) because he makes me feel so wonderful. Go see him NOW!! And tell them I referred you so I get $50. www.spineinline.com

My Interests

I read - a lot - anything and everything... I love football, american football and hockey (the most violent sports)... classic cars, drawing, skin care, and planning future vacations that I may or may not take :)

I'd like to meet:

Robin Williams. Dave Matthews. Dane Cook. Dominic Purcell. Old friends. Parents who can control their children when they are out in public. English speaking fast-food restaurant employees.

Music:

Music? I listen to just about everything (yup, even a little bit of country once in a while...). Rap/Hip-Hop, Rock, Alternative, Punk, Opera, Techno, Bangra, House, Latin... need I go on?

Movies:

Again, I'll give anything a try - I guess you could say I like to experiment! ;) From Indie films, to Action & Violence... not such a fan of the Romantic (sappy) movies, though. My husband loves those. Oh, and a word to the wise... if someone asks you to watch THE PRICE OF MILK, Run! As fast as you can, RUN!

Television:

BIG LOST FAN HERE!! Heroes, Smallville & The Soprano's. The Real Wedding Crashers is a new favorite and of course, Digging for the Truth with Josh Bernstein - he's hot AND educational! :)

Books:

Anything by James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Marian Keyes and Jennifer Weiner, Alisa Valdez-Rodrigues, Jane Green, Dan Brown, Patricia Cornwell, Anne Rice. I definitely like to read!

Heroes:

My mother for raising 2 kids on her own, my husband for being such a strong man and my little boy who is amazing every doctor and nurse with his strength and fiesty personality. :)

I'm screaming right now...

I'm screaming right now, but no one can hear it because it's all in my head.  Maybe I've just been working too damn much (2 jobs, hello?) or maybe it's the baby hormones (sorry, kid).  Or ma...
