Just 4 Fun, Get to Know Me Things

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!
