Day 01 – Introduce yourself

Hello.
My name is Jessica Marie and I am a procrastinator.  To prove it, look at the date on my previous entry and look at today's entry date. 'nuff said.
I also am a fan of lists and bullet points.  So, without further ado-my life in bullet points:

• I was born in Glendale, CA and lived there until I was 11.  Sadly, I've only been back once, but I do plan on taking my husband and son within the next year or so.
• At 11, I moved to Miami, Fl.  Graduated from Miami Coral Park Senior...famous Alumni? Yea, Edward James Olmos, Steven Bauer and wait for it...Pit Bull.
• I met my high school sweetheart at 14, married at 18 and we separated at 21.  Divorce came later...like at 25.  See? Procrastinator.
• I began writing on a weekly basis for this little place called 'DyingDays.'
• I met my now Husband thanks to that little place and we fell in lust-love on a slippery cobblestone street in New Orleans.
• Three months later, I drove my little, white, Dodge Neon to Mississippi to move in with him.
• Two years later, we were fortunate enough to make a trip to Cuba  to meet 92 relatives.
• Shortly after that, a hooker named Katrina decided to huff and puff and ruin home.
• Moved to Tampa, FL.  Gave it a go for 2 years and decided that Houston, TX would be a better match.
• Got Married in October (my favorite month) 2007 and moved to Houston in Dec.
• A year and a half later, we were blessed with the most precious boy ever. Ulysses Noel.  Think James Joyce, not Grant.
• I recently (September 1st) turned 31 and I can honestly say that I feel like life is just beginning for me.
• I have many quirks. 
• I love music. All sorts.  But, if I were to be honest, I would love for life to bring back grunge.
• I believe in sappy, over-the-top romantic gestures and also know that the little ones can truly be just as grand.
• I'm not a sports fan (though I played a wee bit of Basketball and Volleyball in Elementary) but this year I joined a Fantasy Football league.
• I'm not a true 'girly' girl. I never played with dolls, but I absolutely love make-up, mani/pedis and my hair taken care of.
• I love Tattoos. I currently have 7 and I hope to have my Ulysses Tattoo by his 2nd birthday.
• I strongly feel that no matter how old you are, you should always be made to feel special on your Birthday.
•  I am strong-willed and opinionated.  Though I recognize when it is best not to voice mine.
• I am compassionate, caring and empathetic to a fault.  I cry during commercials. 
• I love anything and everything Horror.  The "campy-er", the better.
• I love anything and everything Vintage.
• I surprise many when I speak Spanish.  Yes, I am Cuban-Puerto Rican and very proud.

So, yeah.  Introduction complete.  Hopefully the next few entries will allow a closer glimpse into who I am and what makes me, well, me.
