I love the smell of vanilla candles. I was born February 22, 1971. My favorite teams all hail from Los Angeles; L.A. Dodgers and the L.A. Angels. My favorite vacation spot is Vegas and I like to play table games. My favorite TV shows are Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Sports Center and sports on T.V. My husband is Michael Lujan. My hobbies have changed over the years and now revolve around my son Antonio. I like to show him new things. It’s amazing to see life through his eyes. I also like to watch movies and play golf. I don’t like sarcasm. My favorite household chore is washing dishes. I would like Jennifer Lopez to play me in a movie. If I had a superpower if would be to mind read. I don’t really have a favorite book, but my favorite author is Mary Higgins Clark. My favorite food is chicken nachos. I can be superstitious in the way that if I find something that works. I stick with it. I like to have things in order. If something isn’t aligned right, I want it fixed. Some may call it OCD, but as I see it there is no room to cut corners. My favorite thing about my son Antonio is his laugh and his smile. He makes a great napping buddy.
