In honor of......OK, there's really no 'honor of' anything. Just random crap about me that no one needs to really know but I'm imposing on you, the reader, anyway. Deal with it!
1. I am a biological mother to two boys whom I love more than anything! Yes, that includes my Melani shoes. I knew my reason for living was to be a mother to them (and others respectively). They are my life, my loves, my everything including a pain in my ass sometimes.
2. I sometimes refer to my mother as 'Gracie'. If I refer to her as 'mom', 'mother', 'momma' or 'mumsie' I'll feel terribly guilty for talking bad about her in my blog entries! 'Gracie' makes it less personal.
3. I have my daddy's patience running through my veins, however, this doesn't mean you can treat me like a doormat for too long....I also have my mother's creative way of telling someone to 'eff off' running through my veins...beware! My eyes turn yellow and I turn a deep shade of green (my Grandma Gomez would love that being that those are her favorite colors anyway) but instead of beating the crap out of you, I'll kill you with silence.
4. I don't like scary anything. Period. This feeling was introduced to me as a child when my mother thought it was an 'ok' idea to take her 3 year old to watch the Exorcist. Years later I'd find my Grandmother praying over me with an egg. WTF? Crazy. Gracie also put the fear of God in me when I wouldn't fold my underwear. She insisted that was a necessary part of life and if not done to her liking she would reach for a hanger and...oh, wait... sorry, the 'hanger' part was from a movie! I don't see why underwear had to be folded...you can't fold string anyway! I absolutely hate being scared. I don't like scary movies, scary stories, haunted houses, scary Halloween costumes, or unfolded clothes.
5. I sometimes yell "YES! Way to go!" at a football game even if I have no clue what just happened. I need to 'fit in'.
6. My grandma showed me how to crochet when I was about 9. I found it interesting until I met my first boyfriend years later. Good news is he came and went but my skill to crochet never did. I now realize this skill will help me transition into my older years with ease. But don't request a poncho or socks or a dress to go out in,,, strictly toilet seat covers and scarfs. And not even that because you probably won't get it either.
7. I beat the dragon on Super Nintendo...after a bazillion tries.
8. I looooove country music for this simple reason: there are people out there obviously more depressed than myself who write those lyrics, therefore, knowing that, makes my life seem much brighter!
9. Speaking of country music, my all time favorite modern day female is Martina McBride! My first concert to see her was so exciting I almost peed my pants! When I visited Tennessee a couple years later, I took the 'Tour of the Stars' tour, made a mental note of where Martina lived, went to Target to purchase a purple envelope (note: Martina used a purple envelope with 'REQUESTED MATERIAL-OPEN IMMEDIATELY' written on it so she could get her song on the air,,,the rest is history) which I would eventually leave at her front gate with a letter telling her we'd one day be besties and maybe I could be her back up singer.....I got lost, didn't leave the letter and I'm not her back up singer to this day, but in my stalker-ish head, she's still one of my besties.
10. I know Coal Miner's Daughter verbatim and can recite the entire movie with my crazy aunt who, by the way, also knows it verbatim! We are currently taking reservations to perform at your special occasion. I know! Cool huh?
11. I love candles, crosses and frames but I absolutely love pictures (and Jason Aldean)! Nothing is better than a memory captured! At least that what I used to think until I came across some of my pictures from a fashion show I did in 1990, in which I looked like an 80's porn star. Not proud of that- at all! 'Nuff said- moving right along...
12. I have a mirror at my desk at work, not because of my NPD (narcissistic personality disorder) but because I need to make sure I don't have a booger hanging from my nose when talking with clients! I kinda wish everyone would think like me,,, then I wouldn't have to face some of those clients who DO come in with snot dripping off their nostrils! "umm...scuse me....you might want to clear that mess up you got goin' on....it's gross!"....and awkward to say the least.
13. I choose my friends wisely....I make sure they will always have my back, hold my hair if I need to throw up and never judge me. And if they DO judge me it's usually after a drink and by then I've had one and probably won't care anyway. Judge on Beetches!
14. I love a day at the ranch with family....but HATE driving to get there!
15. Phobia, ahhhh phobia! Let's get one thing straight, I HATE, HATE, HATE spiders and snakes. Obvious reasons, of course...I've seen them in real life and they are no cuddly little balls of love. That's enough for me! It's a 'shit in my pants' kinda phobia and I wish to never experience that. Actually, crapping would benefit me, but I have consideration for those around me. Still, NO THANKS. (insert chills and itchy pitts)
16. I always wanted to be an actress or singer. I just couldn't bear the thought of leaving my family and making it BIG time...pfft...whatever! I COULD bear the thought, but instead I met a donor who gladly 'donated' his services (hence, Jacob) before I had my plane ticket out of that stinkin' town!
17. I have inner voice that tells me how beautiful I am everyday and a mirror that tells me I should start looking into botox! It's awesome how you think you look like a goddess then walk in front of a mirror and all of a sudden you look like Jabba and would love nothing more than to down a freaking tub of ice cream! Preferably not too much chocolate... I know, I know, kill me! But I'm not a huge fan of too much chocolate unless it's that time of the month and even then, I prefer wine. Plus, it helps control my want to pick up a shovel and slam some idiot over the head when I feel hormonal! Which brings me to this: women who are hormonal around that time of the month or women who have just had a baby should be exempt from any kind of abuse charges! lol
18. I am NOT a coffee drinker...I'm more of a coffee smeller. Same with beer. NOT a beer drinker, but damn I love the smell of fresh beer breath! Notice I said 'FRESH'...not morning, drunk ass breath or 3 day old, haven't used a brush breath or some bridge rat's breath! Fresh beer breath as in freshly swallowed a gulp of beer...yum...weird, I know. I'm pretty sure that's how at least one of my kids got here. Joking. They got here via stork.
19. Babies laughing is the best sound-EVER! I'd look like a total dumb ass just too make my babies laugh. They don't appreciate it too much now that they are 17 and 12. I still do it. It makes ME laugh.
20. I've been engaged 4 times! Yes, I know...my dad refers to me as the runaway bride and once told me he would pay someone to marry me. So sweet. But make no mistake! Prince Charming is riiiight around the corner and God bless him because I'm one needy bitch!
21. Relieving stress does not come easily to me unless it's in a bottle with a cork. Some people exercise but I prefer sitting on the couch with my glass of wine and a 3 layer cake. I'll even set the mood with a scented candle and Urban Cowboy.
22. Nothing erks me more than hearing someone say, "these ones"!!!!!! No, no, no! Let me learn you proper Englich! Por Favor. Hearing that come out of some one's mouth is equivalent to hearing nails on a chalkboard! PET PEEVE.
23. I have items of clothing gently packed away for when I'm able to fit into them again! I should just give up the fight. I'll never get my boobs into that tank top again anyway! "Thank you, 'you know who', for buying me that Vegas tank top, size small (in children's), that I never got to wear. I totally appreciate you thinking I was that small and thin, but it's time I hand it over to Raeya."
24. I have 11 pillows on my bed. They are referred to as 'my boyfriends' and I love them. They are supportive, they do not steal blankets, they do not have horrific breath that could singe your eyebrows off on contact and they will never secure your face under the covers (jokingly,,,ya right) and fart!
25. I love the Lord, Jesus Christ for all the love He has showered me with, all the blessing that He has generously given me; my wonderful family, healthy boys, great friends and everything in between! I am one lucky girl and I know it! He is my whole heart, my support, my breath, my soul, my being. He shines through me and for as long as I live I will praise Him, thank Him and give all glory to HIM.
26. I'm a gypsy at heart except when it comes to dressing. I'm OCD so everything has to stinking match, but when it comes to moving,,, just pencil my address in. I move so damn much. And if I ever get a home where I have to stay put, I can guarantee the furniture will be moved around often! I have to have different. To much the same, too routine does not work for me. P.S. that is not true for men. I just want one man, who can love me immensely and move my furniture around for me!!
Ahhh....hope you enjoyed this!
~me, me, me
