I love that my friends and family take pictures when they find the elusive 31. My cousin, Vanny, took this photo at the San Diego Zoo.
Today’s karaoke scorecard: Me Voy (Julieta Venegas), Hopelessly Devoted to You (Olivia Newton John, Grease), Tú, Solo Tu (Selena version), Tragos Amargo (Ramón Ayala), I Will Follow You Into the Dark (Death Cab for Cutie), and First of the Gang to Die (Morrissey). [I picked songs to fit the sad song theme. Also, I’m already making a list of songs I need to sing next time I do karaoke.]
The boyfriend shares a birthday with Tiffany. I share one with Debbie Gibson. We were meant to be…
Cindy is is equal parts Marcha de Zacatecas and Camino de Guanajuato.
What do you call June Gloom during August? [The best responses were Fogust and “a runners dream” (from Lori). I’m tired of the overcast mornings. I like my August hot.]
Am I the only one who thinks cupcake shops use WAY too much icing? I take off like 95% of it. [I remove most of the icing from cakes too. I enjoy cake most when it’s just out of the oven. I like the “pansa” or the rounded top. My aunt’s would cut off this part to make the cake nice and level. The pansa was always a little bit crunchy.]
I want someone to make me pancakes or chilaquiles. [After a night of partying. I got my pancakes when I met up with a friend for brunch.]
I hate when I discover the true meaning of a song long after I’ve gleefully sung along many times. You can still be embarrassed way after-the-fact.
I should probably post something new at the blog considering LA Observed called me “venerable”… yikes.
Dear freshmen, it is not okay to call me at 8:15 am.
When I do laundry, I wonder how I got so much pink (dark shade) clothes. I’m not a fan. Then I recall that it was all marked down.
I like when guys notice little details and accessories, e.g. how my fingernails and toenails match my purse/earrings/bracelet/pendant. [I’ve decided aqua/turquoise and brown are my colors for the summer.]
I’m on Chicana time 90% of the time. I’m on time for flights and family events (mom tells me the wrong time). Movies too.
I made a really bad decision today. God saved me. I have to be good now.
My brother wants to use my frequent flyer miles to make a pilgrimage to different hot dog spots (e.g., Hot Dougs in Chicago).
When Bell Biv Devoe sang “never trust a big butt and a smile” did that rule apply to Chicanas too?
If these look familiar to some, that’s because they’ve all been recent updates on Facebook and Twitter.
Hey Cindy,
Your mom shared your website with me, boy how little I knew of you but glad I can keep up now.
So I heard you’ve lost weight on WW, glad you joined the team, I’m a life member now.
What’s 31 all about???
Love, everyone says hi here in Texas.
Love Tia Nellie
