Blogging... and why?

Let me start with saying, How self centered of me with my title right? Ha. Well truth be told. I am looking for Betty. Which most of you know, thats me! Its my nickname for my very long name of Beatriz. In which a lot of people have trouble pronouncing it. I don't blame you, its not common of a name, and its written differently than i have seen many spell it before. So, with that being said. Here we go.

Why would i want to start a blog? Well, lets face it. I love to talk. A lot... to much in fact, that in my past it has gotten me into some trouble. My thoughts roam all over my head sometimes, and i have no where to place them or share them. So why not give this a try? Its now 11am here in sunny California, and i've been sitting here trying to put the "perfect" wallpaper and template to express myself. Yep.. this is as good as i got. *snickers* I want to seem vintage and full of wisdom... Yaahhhh i'm not. All i got is the little bits and pieces in my head in which i feel some need to share. Not everyone, specially in my family. Want to hear my constant revelations of life, because i can be a little naive and ditzy. I'm not the one to point a extensive detail, and i can be fairly ignorant on some subjects. Well, who isn't though. In the world we live in, i feel sometimes its a competition to who knows the most about anything and everything. Which is most of the time, unimportant and really time consuming. Ha, Yet here i am, writing about just that.

Well lets get to what matters then. Hm, where to start... I have so many things I want to talk about. Husbands, Marriage, having daughters, being a military wife (not really something i ever like talking about but i am one), weight loss, friendships, jobless, stay at home mom, and the list could go on. But for now I'll make this my small introduction. Hi, I'm Betty. I'm a gemini (if you like that sorta thing, i use to when i was a teen. It was fun and magical.) I have two little girls. I stay at home traditionally because the thought of they being raised by someone other than me or my mother scares me. I have high standards of other people but i sometimes lack on my own. I'm easy going, letting go of something is not hard for me to do. I get over people, problems and drama way to easy. Keeping a grudge is probably my weakest trait. I won't stay mad at people. I can, I just choose not to be, I like using my energy on something else. I love to laugh either at people or of people. Cat and dog videos really don't impress me much. I love to taste more than eat. If something tastes wonderfully, even though i am not hungry i'll eat it. Which is why i struggle or have struggled with my weight. I like to stay in my comfort, I love California. I am very patriotic of Mexico and of the United States. Tradition is a huge, factor in my life. Even though i was raised in the United States, I refuse to deny my Mexican cultural roots which came from my border town of Calexico. I think, thats enough... So there it is.. My first blog!
