Marley & Me Quote

Quote of the Day:

John Grogan: A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water log stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if your rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?

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.

My 1st Post

I thought this would be appropriate...

Quote #1:

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.

~Steve Jobs
