Just Keeps Getting Better

That's a link to the pictures I took during my off time last week on South Padre Island for the T-STEM Best Practices State Conference. I love my sunset pictures... the one with the Queen Isabella Memorial Causeway is my absolute favorite!

I just keep getting better and better at this! :)

I'm cheating - just like Barb :)

25 Things About Me


1. I was born in Kansas City.... Missouri.

2. I've lived in Kansas and here in Texas I have lived in Brownsville, Los Fresnos, McAllen AND Mission.

3. I'm jealous that my brother has the life he wants, but am ecstatic at the same time (I'm going to be an Aunt :D ).

4. I love to sit in a quiet house, no tv, sometimes some music, but the tv noise irritates the hell out of me most of the time.

5. I took 8 years and one semester to get my Bachelor's degree.....and I don't wanna go back for a LONG time.

6. I've always wondered what it'd be like to have a sister to do things with, and an older brother (although Luis is my older n younger brother wrapped into one).

7. I call my brother wicho or bis (like bees but with an 's' sound at the end, not a 'z').

8. I always wanted to do something in forensics or involving the human anatomy.

9. I only got a degree in English and History because it was my quickest way out of UTPA after 6 yrs had passed. But I love anything CSI-ish :D

10. I miss going to see movies at the theatre.... but people annoy the hell outta me now with the talking and the disrespect and the cell phones!

11. I miss my cat, Cali, still - and it's been almost 2 years.

12. I still have stuffed animals on my bed (1).

13. I want to have at least one kid by the time I turn 30.

14. I want to travel nationally AND internationally.

15. I love to bake and wish I was better at it.

16. I loved spinach as a kid... and I still do once in a while now.

17. I've never been drunk, or done drugs and my parents never had much trouble from me... people would tell my mom that it was only a matter of time until I exploded into some horrible phase, but it hasn't happened.

18. My dream job is to be a stay at home proofreader or editor. I want people who write screen plays, novels, short stories, things that are going public to send me their stuff (even from across the country) so that I can edit it for them and correct any errors. I will sit at home and just edit.

19. I want to have twins....YES - even I think I'm crazy, but I do. It runs in my family, too.

20. I hate watching the news because it's always so and so killed so and so and a lot of bad news.... I just want to see the weather.

21.I hate pork, and am not a fan of beef either. I can eat steak, but it takes forever because there can be NO fat, and I can eat burgers, but I get sick of the taste of it after about half. I can do shredded pork or beef, but I have to have a LOT of bbq sauce. I can eat chicken or fish everyday :)

22. I love hugs.

23. I want one tattoo, but not until I find something that means a lot to me. (maybe LOL)

24. I am afraid I have a brain aneurysm every time I get a headache ever since my friend, Alex, died my junior year ( it's been 10 yrs.) of high school from one. He would always have headaches and then at his senior prom he passed out and never regained consciousness. Since I found out - I've been paranoid... not extremely but that always runs through my pounding head :(

25. I love old music, and new music and any type of music...... except for some spanish and some country.... it depends.


BONUS: I love to take pictures and plan on taking classes to improve and learn everything!

Our sweet lil sugar's (not to be confused with our kitty, Sugar) are still not quite ready to leave home yet, but we're taking names of people and we already have 4 serious inquiries! YAY - and one of them wants 2 puppies (cross your fingers!). Mom's making a website for the dogs... we don't see the puppies as a business - we aren't breeders - mom says "We just have these dogs as our pets, and nature takes it's course so we have puppies about twice a year." :D But posting an ad in the newspaper is SOOOO expensive. I forget the numbers but I heard mom telling granny about it and I was shocked. I think for only advertising in Sunday's paper it is $50 ?? Something like that - well if you consider that not all of the puppies are going to sell in one week - it starts to add up with all of the advertising. So we (my parents) decided to create a website and get a waiting list going, if possible, that way when the next litter comes around we just have to notify people that they are born and then when they're ready - something like that. Tasha should be next in line to have puppies. Duchess' puppies, the ones we have now, are SO cute, and getting big. They look a lot better than Tasha's did last year... although they got parvo - the poor things, so it's not their fault LOL. I took the official puppy pictures for the website... I'm probably going to have to take more if they don't sell and they start changing. Gotta keep the puppy-site up to date. Mom even thought about setting up a "puppy-cam" like those people did with the Akita's or whatever that breed was that the video link was going out all over the internet. But we'll see if that happens. Hope you enjoyed the pics, Barb - I think you're the only one who reads my blog :D



Have a great day!
