Who Am I?

...In a Nutshell

I am ChristyAnne A. Born January 17th, 1981 to Carlos & Cristina in a little town in Los Angeles, CA. That makes me ALMOST 31, I am a Capricorn. Moved to Miami, FL at the age of 4, with my parents, my little brother (2 yrs & 9 months younger) & our nanny. My family is from Sao Paulo, Brazil. I can count how many times I have been to Brazil with 2 hands, the last time being nearly 16 years ago. I have owned 10 dogs & 4 cats in my lifetime, along with rabbits & birds.

Ive only had 2 TRUE Best Friends & sadly both of those friendships have ended, these 2 ladies have made me & changed me into the woman I am today, they know who they are & don't need reminders to know that I still love them dearly.

I have only been IN LOVE twice, one of which is my dear husband of 8.5yrs, together for 13 yrs., since I was 17 yrs old. My 1st love & I are still friends nearly 18 yrs later.

My father passed away at age 57, 1 yr & 1 week after my wedding, I dont have a relationship with my mother, as I blame her for his death ( story should be left for another day, another post).

I believe in God, Angels, Spirits, Ghosts & Animal Totems, I love anything that has to do with the other side. Sylvia Browne is one of my favorite people in the world.

I love kids & law... always wanted to be either a teacher or lawyer, but laziness got in the way.

I have no children due to a fertility issue named PCOS.

The few women I look up to is: Hillary Clinton, Sylvia Browne, Mariska Hargitay, Michelle Obama ( we share the same birthday, & she is a lawyer) & most recently, Kate Middleton.

My 2 absolute favorite TV shows are One Tree Hill & Law & Order:SVU.

I am addicted to music, I dont have any favorites, but Josh Groban & OneRepublic take me to a special place.

I am a blogger (currently own 6 blogs), love scrapbooks & of course photography, my most expensive gift to myself was my Canon T1i (Nov 2010).

My Best Friend these days is my Husband. At almost 31, I have learned not to believe in friendship & that they can not truly last.

I am blunt with my words, I dont sugar coat life... I live through that little quote... "The truth hurts" & I have learned throughout the years that, that has been done to me & I have held back, but life has changed me as a person & learned to "pay it forward".

Being blunt has kicked me in the ass but there's a quote I like to live by- "It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not". I am who I am, you can take it or leave it.

I am currently a 1st grade "teacher", I tutor after school children.

I currently own 7 Yorkies & a Snowshoe Siamese, some may call me crazy, but this is life to me, you may not understand it, yet again I'm not here to satisfy anyone, & anyhow I wouldn't change it for the world.

Thanks for reading.
