ABOUT ME:
I'm a 32 year old Mom of a BEAUTIFUL daughter and BEAUTIFUL twin
boys. I am part Romanian so I have that feisty blood running through me from my wonderful Grandma whom I loved so dearly!!
My Grandma while she was alive taught me a little Romanian, but I recently took a study course and know quite a lot now.
I like to write poetry and I enjoy Photography. Since moving to Texas I
have not had a chance to get much done in that department. The landscape between California and Texas is completely different.
I also enjoy collecting vintage Avon which is usually kid themed. My favorite
collection pieces are Little Blossom, but they are hard to find here in the US.
I enjoy watching sports. My favorite team was the San Francisco Giants
when I was younger, but now I'm not so much into baseball. The team will always hold a special place in my heart though from
my past. I really enjoy Tennis now with Roger Federer being my favorite. He is just totally awesome!
I love Rachael Ray! She is a cook on Food Network and I have totally become addicted to making
her 30 minute meals. I own lots of her cookbooks. Being a busy Mom I don't have too much time to spend in the kitchen but
if you make her recipes you can still have a healthy and wonderful meal that can easily be made quickly.
My favorite color is purple. My lucky number is 7. I enjoy old black
and white movies and I think so many of the beautiful movie stars were around then more then now. My favorite television lady
has always been Lucille Ball. I think she was so beautiful and so funny. I loved watching the Bionic Woman when I was
little. She always reminded my of my Momma when she was younger!
And last but not least as you can see my favorite hobby of all is collecting
Strawberry Shortcake. I hope to be able to show all those fans out there like myself just how much I love this gal! Be sure
to let me know what you like about Strawberry Shortcake also. I have many online friends and fans who visit my site and I
hear from quite often. I thank you all so much for the wonderful comments and support you have given me.
FACT: Although my favorite thing to collect is Strawberry Shortcake, my
favorite character is actually Blueberry Muffin. I'm always on the look out for rare things with her on
them. There was not a lot made, but let me know if anyone comes across anything I may need. I'm always looking for the BBM
Beauty Set with the brush, mirror and comb. I also would really love to find the Berrykin blanket but not have to pay outrageous
ebay prices.

TOYS & FUN
My favorite toys of course would have to be the Strawberry Shortcake Dolls
of the 1980's. I loved them and continue to collect anything I can get my hands on. She has been coming out once again and
I'm enjoying every minute of it. This time I can share my love with my little girl who is about the same age I was when I
got to play with them. But my favorite will always be the Vintage stuff.
I also love collecting certain toys from the 80's like Smurfs and Care
Bears. And I loved My Little Pony as well!
I love collecting dolls. 60's and 70's are my favorites. Usually Vinyl Dolls.
I recently sold most of my collection, but did keep some of my favorites.
MOVIES:
My favorite movie ever would have to be Grease. I also enjoy Footloose, Saturday
Night Fever, Pretty in pink and Sixteen Candles. I like a variety of others. The movies and music in the 1980's
would have to be my favorites.

My World, My Children
I have a beautiful daughter. She is 11 years
old. She loves to draw and is really wonderful at it. She loves Japanese Animation and draws incredible characters. Some that
have even been featured in some of her favorite magazines she buys. She also is a huge fan of video games (she's
got too many systems and games to count) and tells me someday when she grows up she wants to make video games for
a living. It's quite cute actually. It's strange cause here I thought having a little girl I could have another SSC fan, but
no. She doesn't like dolls most of the time and usually goes for boy toys. But I say oh well....she is unique and still has
a girly side to her at times. She will just amaze me with her drawings though and if I ever buy another scanner I will
show them along with her picture albums on yahoo. She is a wonderful helper with her brothers and she is my first born, my
only daughter. I just love her so much and she is my whole world. I only wish her the best in life and hope she will always
be healthy, happy and just be her wonderful self always.
My Twin Boys
When I found out I was having twins I was shocked.
I didn't think I could do it and I just wanted to go crawl in a hole in the ground and stay there. I was so overwhelmed and
still to this day feel so much sometimes....BUT, I couldn't be more blessed then I have been by these two little guys in my
life. After I almost lost them on 5 occasions throughout my pregnancy, lots of weight gain, bed rest, stays in the hospital
and getting so big I thought I would explode and could hardly walk, I am so glad I went through all of that cause My boys
are totally worth it to me now.
I am so excited to be adding this to my About
Me Page with my children to share them with you. They were born in 2005 and I can't believe they have become
such grownup boys so fast. They are so handsome, smart, loving and the sweetest things you could ever imagine.
Here is a little something I wrote about my
experience with the labor and delivery.
MY BOYS HAVE ARRIVED!!!! LET ME TELL YOU MY
STORY. WELL A LONG STORY SHORT..AT LEAST I'LL TRY!
I WAS SCHEDULED TO BE INDUCED AT 6 PM ON SUNDAY EVENING. WELL
AROUND 3:30 THAT MORNING I WAS SOUND ASLEEP WHEN I FELT A GUSH OF WATER AND MAN IT KEPT COMING UNTIL I WAS IN MY HOSPITAL
BED!!
I SOON BEGAN HAVING VERY BAD CONTRACTIONS, THEY SEEMED TO BE COMING LESS THEN A MINUTE APART AND WERE GETTING
WORSE AND WORSE. I ARRIVED AT THE HOSPITAL AND WAS 2 CENTIMETERS. I JUST KNEW I HAD TO GET TO 4 IN ORDER TO GET AN EPIDURAL!!!
I WAS DYING, AND IN SO MUCH PAIN. I WAS SCREAMING IT WAS TERRIBLE. THE NURSE CAME IN ABOUT 50 MINUTES LATER AND
CHECKED ME AND TO EVERYONE'S SURPRISE EVEN THE DOCTORS I WAS FULLY DILATED!!!
THEY WERE RUSHING TO GET EVERYTHING
READY. I FELT THE URGE TO PUSH AND WAS IN SEVERE PAIN. NO MEDICINE, NO EPIDURAL NO NOTHING. FINALLY THEY ALLOWED ME TO
START PUSHING.
IT WAS ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER BABY A MALE ARRIVED. HE WEIGHED 6 POUNDS 1 OUNCE AND
WAS 18 INCHES LONG. I THOUGHT OK ANY MINUTE AND THIS WILL BE OVER HIS BROTHER WILL BE COMING ANY TIME SOON!!
MY
CONTRACTIONS STOPPED. I DIDN'T HAVE TO PUSH I THOUGHT OK THIS IS EASIER..WELL WE WAITED AND WAITED AND WAITED AND NOTHING!!!!
HIS BROTHER DECIDED HE WANTED TO MAKE US WAIT FOR HIS ARRIVAL..SUCH A SHOW OFF!!!! IT ACTUALLY FITS HIS PERSONALITY RIGHT
NOW TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
THEY GAVE ME PITOCIN TO START CONTRACTIONS AGAIN SO I GUESS I GOT SOME
INDUCED LABOR AFTER ALL AND IT WAS NOT FUN. I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN. THEY KEPT ME PUSHING I WAS EXHAUSTED. IT WAS HOT AND SWEATY
AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. THE NURSES HAD MY LEGS ALL IN CRAZY DIRECTIONS AND I JUST COULDN'T DO IT ANY LONGER. I REALLY
FELT DELIRIOUS AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF EITHER I'M GOING TO PASS OUT AND DIE RIGHT HERE OR THEY WILL RUSH ME INTO AN EMERGENCY
C SECTION.
1 HOUR AND 1/2 LATER THEY HAD ME PUSH MY FINAL MOMENTS AND I GAVE IT ALL I HAD AND FINALLY
OH GOD FINALLY BABY B MALE ARRIVED. HE WEIGHED 5 POUNDS 10 OUNCES AND WAS 18 INCHES LONG. I WAS EXHAUSTED!!!!
THE
BABIES WERE HEALTHY!! THEY WERE GOOD SIZES AND EVERYTHING CAME OUT OK. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I WAS INJURED. THEY ARE THINKING
DURING DELIVERY MY PELVIC BONES AND MUSCLE REGIONS WERE AFFECTED. I CAN'T WALK AT ALL FORWARD AND I NEED THE HELP OF A WALKER
UNTIL I'M HEALED. I'M IN A LOT OF PAIN BUT I HAVE SOME HELP AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT 3 WEEKS SO I HOPE I HEAL REALLY SOON SO
I CAN TAKE BETTER CARE OF MY NEW LITTLE GUYS. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 4 DAYS.
ALTHOUGH I HAD TO GO THROUGH
SO MUCH IN THIS PREGNANCY AND THE DELIVERY AND EVEN NOW THEY ARE SO WORTH IT. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THEY ARE SO CUTE. MY
FIRST BORN TWIN LOOKS JUST LIKE ME AND HIS BROTHER LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS DAD. WE CAN TELL THEM APART. I HOPE
THAT DOESN'T CHANGE. THEY BOTH HAVE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES ALREADY IT'S JUST SO STRANGE. IT WAS A LONG RIDE BUT NOW IT ONLY
GETS BETTER.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR THOUGHTS, WISHES AND PRAYERS. IT REALLY HELPED. I MANAGED TO GET TO
MY 38TH WEEK ALMOST WHEN I THOUGHT I WOULD NOT MAKE IT AT 24 WEEKS, 27 WEEKS AND 35 WEEKS. I MANAGED TO HAVE THEM BOTH AT
THE FINAL HOURS AND NO C SECTION. IT COULD NOT HAVE WORKED OUT BETTER. WELL ACCEPT THAT LITTLE BRATTY ONE MAKING
US WAIT SO LONG..BOY AM I GONNA HAVE TROUBLE WITH THAT ONE :-)
