40 things about my mom...

Homer's Missus tagged my mom to tell 40 things about herself. She does not like to talk about herself so I am going to tell you the things I know, ok?
No particular order, just how they come to my mind!

1.- Her name is Veronica
2.- She was born June 25th of.... many years ago in Torreon, Coahuila
3.- She has 2 brothers and 1 sister
4.- She is the youngest (?)
5.- She has lived in 3 different cities
6.- She is lefty
7.- She has driven cars since she was 12 years old
8.- She got her first car from my grandpa when she was 14 years old due to her good notes in school.
9.- She used to have long hair but 5 years ago she cut it off and goes to the "groomers" every month
10.- She has lots of grey hairs since she was 15 years old so she dyes her hair since then.
11.- There was a time when she could not leave the house without makeup, now she does not care.

21.- She has been on a diet since she remembers
22.- Her favorite colors are black and white
23.- She learnt (?) English going to school every saturday for 2 years
24.- She likes to watch baseball and golf

29.- She likes to cook pizza
30.- She loves Pastel de Tres Leches (3 milks cake)

Wow, your mommy knit 40 sweaters for Christmas gifts?! (I think my mommy just fainted...) It would take my mommy one year (at least) to knit just ONE sweater! Your mommy is very talented Lorenza. I hope you have a nice weekend!

Your Pal,
Trooper

P.S. You look very cute in your pink pajamas.

Princess Eva and Brice said...

Your mom is very talented to knit 40 sweaters.
My Momma says that she may or may not have gray hair but she hasn't seen her real hair color in many years so she can't tell.

Stella said...

thank you, Lorenza, for telling us all about your Mom. She is someone we would like to meet.

My mom say to tell you girls that you can only cover up those white hairs so long, and pretty soon, its all white and nothing to do for it.

Kisses,
Stella

Hi Lorenza
That was cool to learn so many things about your mom. We were impressed with quite a few! She has learned English very well - our mum has always wanted a cleaning obsession but sadly has never had one! We also liked the bit about life long dieting - ah yes we have all been there. We were interested that she never wears a dress and you are a dog with so many!
Your mom sounds like someone we would like.
love and kisses
Martha & Bailey xx

Lady Kaos said...

Oh my gosh Lorenza! Your Mom and my Mom are a lot alike! Mom does graphic design, loves food network, cut her hair and hated so she regrew it and will never ever ever ever do it again, only wears make up if she's going to work or something special after for so many years of wearing makeup even if she didn't leave the house just in case someoen stopped by and those are the only ones I can remember.
Have a great weekend!

Sami & Baylee said...

Lorenza your mom sounds like a very nice person! My mom doesn't know any other language then English but brother Dale talks to her in spanish so she knows a few words...

Hey Lorenza,
Homer's mom tagged our dad too. Just like your mom, our dad wouldn't do it either so, just like you, we did it for him. It was real hard thinking of 40 interesting things. Listing 40 boring and uninteresting things would have been a lot easier. You did a very good job listing things about your mom.
