Question 2 : Apart from your house and your car, what is the most expensive thing you've ever bought? That would have to be my education at ONU....Go Fighting Tigers!!

Question 3 : What is you're most treasured memory?
My most treasured memory, would have to be one of the last conversations I had with my father. He told me how much he loved me, respected me, and that he was proud of me as a mother, woman and daughter. He also encouraged me to enjoy life, love and be loved!

Question 4: What is the best gift you ever received as a child?
This may not be the best gift, but it sure was one of the funniest. When I was nine, I asked Santa for a kitty. I remember receiving a beautifully wrapped box with the words Kitty inside. When I opened the box, there was a kitty, but not the kind you keep as a pet. It was a Hello Kitty piggy bank. My heart sank and I asked my parents, what is this? My father responded, "you asked for a kitty, so I bought you Hello Kitty"! My mother looked at me, shrugged her shoulders and laughed. Good times!

The Queen of Awesome

" A girl should be two things, Classy and Fabulous". ~Coco Chanel

I had the pleasure of working with the "Queen of Awesome" this week. Crissy, from Crissy's Blog Design, is the mastermind behind my fabulous new blog and twitter design! It is everything I hoped for and more.

Anyone who knows me, understands that I am an extremely particular Chica, with high expectations and a my own sense of style. After reviewing my old blog, Crissy had an abundance of suggestions and pictures to start with. We brainstormed a few ideas and she independently rolled with it the rest of the design. To my amazement, in a matter of hours, she had a test blog design ready for me to view. I was in love and by the very next day, she had my new design uploaded and ready to go. Along with instructions on how to navigate my way around, which to me is priceless!!

A little more about Crissy; she is a stay-at-home mom with 2 beautiful children, who has been designing blogs for a few years. Recently, she decided to start her own business. To view her site and portfolio click on her button in my left column.

It is with great appreciation of her fabulous work and keen eye for detail, that I highly recommend Crissy to design your blog.

Marvelous job Chica, my blog is both classy and fabulous!!!

Sun Kissed Goddess

I love summer!!! In my opinion I have a Sun Kissed Goddess Tan; however this past weekend, while at a family party, I was told that I was too tan. I know, the nerve!! Do these family/friend Chica's not know that a great tan takes many hours of dedication and patience?!?

I am a Latina woman with naturally tanned skin, which pales out in the winter months. I use to avoid the sun at all cost, up until a few years ago, when I found much relaxation and fun basking in the sun! My mother who is fabulously gorgeous with a perfectly proportioned body(which I did not inherit), gave me a complex about being in the sun, while I was growing up.

I have light angel kisses(freckles) on my cheeks, that multiply and slightly darken when I am in the sun. My mom use to say "stay out of the sun or your freckles will multiply and connect". She would also say that she knew someone this happened to. Which in all reality had nothing to do with the freckles, but a skin disorder that caused brown blotches. Oh, my mother and her kookey ways...

I am by no means George Hamilton tanned, but I am fiercely tanned and refuse to let the statement that I am too tanned, keep me out of the sun!! Living in Midwest has it's perks...I love it here; however summer is so short lived. In just a few weeks the pools and beaches will close, the temperatures will drop, seasons will change and there will be no more frolicking in the sun!

So I am going to whoop it up while I can and enjoy these Fabulous Summer Days!!!

Smooches,
Sassy Chica

UNBELIEVABLE

I rarely write about my Diva teenage daughter on my blog. Not really sure why?? I think it may be that some of the things she does are not funny, but frustrating. Or maybe because she reads this blog and I don't want to offend.

Except for today, gloves are off. I am sharing with the world just how ridiculous she is, serves her right!

Yesterday, Diva asked me for permission to spend the day at her friends house. Like the cool mom I am, I gave her permission and was specific on what time I wanted her home. I also asked her to call me, when she got to her friends house. Hours passed by and no phone call. The time I had set for her to be home also came and went. A few hours later, Diva arrived home! She nonchalantly walks in, ready to blurt out what ever ridiculous excuse she had conjured up. I was not having it and sent her to her room, after I scolded her for being late and grounded her until she turned at least 30.

A little while after she had been home, I guess she thought I was a bit more calm and she could talk to me.

Diva: Mom, I have something to show you!
Me:(in a snide response,still pissed): I don't want to see it!
Diva then stood directly in front of me, turned around and showed me that she bleached the tips of her hair
Me: UN-F'ing-BELIEVABLE, what did you do?!?!?!?!
Diva: I think it looks Amazing!
Me: Yea, well I think you look like an idiot!

Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if it had been a professional job; however her friend who is always bleaching and coloring her own hair: purple, red, blue, etc did a horrible job! Let me also state that Diva's hair is black, with now reddish/blondish(not really sure what color it is) uneven tips. It looks like the tail of a Cat!

The only word worth repeating that came to mind and out of my mouth repeatedly was, UNBELIEVABLE!!! School starts in less than two weeks and Diva's hair looks ridiculous, serves her right.

These are the joys of being a mother to a teenager daughter, CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!!!
