 20 Random Things About Me

20 Random Things About Me

I just read Dreampower and Funnyman's lists just now and it looked like fun!  I loved learning more about them!  I happen to love lists, so here goes.  Some of you may already know some of these things about me, so maybe I'll surprise you with something you didn't know :)

1.  I was born in Puerto Rico, La Isla del Encanto, the island of enchantment. as it is referred to.  I love my island, our history and my people!

2.  I have two biological adult children and one 'adopted' son from Bolivia who lives in Belgium. I love them with all my heart and soul.

3.  I speak Spanish fluently and conversational French which gets more fluent the more red wine I drink.  Funny how that happens...

4. I LOVE tequila later in the evening at parties and such, and have been known to get a bit amorous under the influence which is why I don't travel alone in Mexico!  Damn that blue agave!

5.  I have a heart-shaped belly button.

6.  I am absolutely and completely addicted to Chipotle's Fajita Burrito with everything on it!  I don't care that there are a gazillion calories in there!  Puerto Rican and Persian are close seconds.

7.  I've written one novel, have ten chapters written on novel #2.  Need an agent and a publisher NOW!!

8.  I dream in Spanish, French and English and in color.

9.  I am intuitive, have had prophetic dreams which used to scare my ex to death :) and one out of body experience in college, no lie.

10.  I was madly in love with a priest once...no more on that one.

11.  I LOVE romance in all its forms and have been accused in the past of choosing romance over reality a couple of times.  Guilty as charged.

12.  I sleep al fresco.  Not because it's sexy, it's called peri-menopausal.

13.  I can't live without Nag Champra incense or candles, just can't.

14.  I'm a Reiki Master...ask me later or Google it.

15.  I am a graduate of a massage institute and it's not called the "Happy Endings School", either!

16.  A male client was asked to leave a Spa where I worked because he asked me out on a date and wouldn't stop coming onto me during his massage  :/

17.  I dream of becoming a published author one day and need to work harder to make that dream a reality without looking at my dwindling bank account and panicking.

18.  I also dream of owning a vineyard and producing an award-winning red wine!  LOVE red wine.  Could be up-state New York for me...

19.  I seem to attract men and women in a romantic way.

20.  I love lists! 

Tag, your turn!  I want to learn more about YOU now!

Peace and love.

I have a friend who does Reiki on me in my most painful times.... she lives in NH and I in Iowa.... I am ever grateful for her.... I know when she does it she must also experience the pain....that is sad for me... but yet... her very efforts have given me good days more...

The pain of a client whether in counseling or Reiki does sometimes reach us. It is imperative for her to 'protect' herself, though. I used to become nauseous during particularly difficult sessions, but learned that we are channels not meant to take on the pain of a client. Much like boundaries during a counseling session. I'm VERY happy you have someone like your friend to help you, US. Very glad, indeed. All the best to you. xx

Learning reiki and massage are on my bucket list...Your list was great...You have a heart-shaped bellybutton?...good for you, that yours still has a shape! hahaha!
Posted by  funfreak  on 2009-10-21 17:25:41 
  
Good for you, they are wonderful things to learn! It is heart-shaped because after my second C-section, that's what it turned out looking like from all the tugging and pulling to sew me back up! Thanks for reading my list, now you need to do yours!
Posted by  Ellie2008  on 2009-10-21 17:47:39 
  
Dang girl! LOVE your list, I feel like you're my soul sister, haha.
Posted by  VegRunner  on 2009-10-21 19:13:23 
  
I think you could be right, Cassie! haha! Is it because of the priest, the tequila or both? LOL! GREAT to see you and thank you for your visit!
Posted by  Ellie2008  on 2009-10-21 19:23:18 
  
Loved reading your list and learning more about you.
Peace.

#5-really! #10..Aaaawwww! #12-- bad fantasy!go away!
Posted by  pastormike  on 2009-10-22 01:45:52 
  
It's always good to learn more but I have a feeling there's more to come - lol.

MAIL DAY MS. E!!!! Had to do it lol.

I would love to learn a new language but honestly I just don't have the patience to do it. My southern accent gets all in the way of the tiny spanish that I do know. Sad really. But I too love wine and especially some tequila. I personally love rum over all the other liquors but I will drink all the clear ones. No dark for me... I prefer not to puke up my liver LOL. We need to get you a publisher stat Ms. E! I will be more then happy to be your agent and ride your coat tails on my way to stardom for my own book. LMAO j/k.

Mike, your comments always make me smile :) Yes, #10 and I wasn't a Catholic school girl, either ;) Well, I was, but not at that time! LOL! Honestly, I embrace menopause...who am I kidding?! It sucks most of the time! LOL! I hope you, Liebchen and family are doing well :)

Hi Miss E, There's ALWAYS more to come from my past, my present and my future :) I just like to get it out in little dribbles here and there. When you reach 52, you have some history! Well, I have anyway :) It's all been great. Enjoy your two adorable grandkids, E!

Morning, KK! How DARE you remind of f**king Thursday and the damn mailbox! LOL! I'm NOT checking it until I am good and ready! LOL! Shite!

Well, I have a bottle of Puerto Rican rum with your name on it, then :) so you won't puke up your liver! haha! AND, listen to me, little sister...you get your book written and I'll ride your coat tails to stardom for MY book! We can be agents for each other, but with the tequila and rum, I seriously doubt we'll get a thing done, but laugh! Would be nice to laugh all the way to the bank, though :) I'm excited about your move :)

El:
Loved the list. I am a list junkie too.
Funny how the more you drink the better your French becomes,
MINE TOO. Hahahahahaha.

Tequila hu? Now, where did I put that bottle, Hmmmmmmm. :-)

"I dream in Spanish, French and English and in color". Man, Disney would LOVE you. Hahahahaha.

#9 Been there, Done that too.

I LOVE Reiki----Really helps soothe the pain away. My daughter in law

How did I miss this one and a comment from my favorite funnyman?! Yes, we DO have a lot in common, I keep telling ya! haha!

Yes, I dream in Spanish of drinking tequila and red wine in Mexico in technicolor while sleeping in the buff waiting for the heat to strike and happy that I've done self-Reiki on myself before going to bed! Whew!

That reminded me of Douglas' word challenges he used to ask to give him with a bunch of random stuff! haha!

Happy to hear your daughter-in-law is a Reiki Master, it is very useful and a wonderful for stress relief. Very soothing! Thanks for commenting, funnyman!
