Someone asked that I post 25 things about me to know me better. At first I couldn't come up with anything but then I kept going making the list longer than 25. Anyhow here it goes nothing really exciting...
1. I grew up in a small town in northern Mexico, we lacked commodity but lived very happy.  I loved helping my mother sell food on the weekends.  
2. I started earning money at age 8.  I baby sat my now 25yr old nephew.  When in season I picked cotton, tomatoes, chili peppers, and grapes on my grandpa’s field.  
3. I moved to the States at age 10, learning English was a great challenge for me.  I now speak both Spanish and English fluently.
4. I graduated high school in 1993 and will always regret not going to college. 
5. I never thought to marry and become a homemaker.  I enjoy it very much now.
6. I never learned how to cook until my 2nd yr of marriage, I now really like it. My specialty is Mexican dishes.  I don’t follow recipes well so I just go by taste.  Baking is not for me.  I like to cook and taste different foods.  I do not like to eat or cook fish. 
7. I dislike having a dirty home, kitchen and baths especially. I like it when it smells clean
8. I don’t know how to relax.   I seriously can’t go to bed without cleaning the kitchen first. 
9. As much as I clean and try to keep my home organized, is hard to maintain it that way.
10. I never did have a hobby until now.  I enjoy blogging, playing v-ball, and jogging.  I don’t watch much TV, unless is HGTV and TLC when time allows it.    
11. My goals are to earn a degree, learn how to play a musical instrument, serve a mission, and doing humanitarian work.  
12. Running around in PJ’s or any type of loose clothing is not for me, it gives me a lazy and tired feeling. 
13.  I love to run every morning or evenings although lately I been too lazy.
14. I might not be the smartest, but have good common sense.
15. I find it hard to make new friends, there for I don’t have many.  I consider myself boring, with a good sense of humor. 
16. I love the color brown, but dislike my skin color.  When I was little I was called “negra” because of my skin color.      
17. I have lived in a bus (not a tour bus) a real passenger bus at a junk yard, garage, apartment, and now a home.  I know what it feels to go hungry on a Christmas morning.  Life has thought me humility and gratitude.   
18. I think I have a great memory, except with names.
19. I don’t know how to write well, but I do much better in spelling.
20. I wish I’d grown up with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I would have done many things differently.   I love the feeling of peace I find at the Temple.  I go there every chance I get. 
21. Serving others is a great feeling.  I wish I do it more often.  
22. I cry for every little thing.  I am a very sensitive woman.  I don’t really eat chocolate, and I don’t like money to be spent in flowers.  I’m just weird.  I do love diamonds.  
23. I get very anxious and my voice cracks when I argue.  I feel extremely bad when I loose my cool . I do not like drama.  
24. I dislike organizing parties or hosting them.
25. I would like to be more creative.  I would like to complain less.

Wow Llordes what a list. I didn't know most of those things. You are one tough woman and I think that you are amazing. I wish that I couldn't go to bed w/o cleaning my kitchen. It is so much nicer waking up to a clean house!
You are amazing!! Seriously, you should be a motivational speaker :) I am so glad to be one of your friends! And your skin color? I LOVE it--it is the perfect brown, i just love it. I would take it in a heartbeat, would you like to trade? (Probably not...) :)
And you need to run again in the morning--like tomorrow!!! I only have a couple weeks left!
You are such an incredible woman! I am so glad you posted those things about you. I knew most of them but they were good reminders for me. :o)
