About Twinkie

A little bit about me? Ok, well here it goes! 

My name is Norma and I was on my way to superstardom as a tall, skinny and beautiful super model until a freak accident caused me to shrink in size and gain weight.

 

 

Too short to model and with no other skills I decided to change career paths and so here I am.

My current job description is Tooth Fairy, Nurse, Lifeguard, Maid, Santa's Helper, Dessert Coordinator, Master Chef, Personal Assistant, Sports Manager, *Referee*Chauffer, Travel Agent/Vacation Planner.

OH, and I also hold a PAYING job in which I go to just to rest from my REAL job at home.

I graduated from McFarland High School in 1989. I am now married and have four children the ages of 18, 17, 9, and 8.

They are my world.

I never really understood that phrase until I became a mother.

-Although my real name is Norma I chose my childhood nickname "Twinkie" for my blog.  It might sound like a silly name, but in fact... well it is. It was given to me in high school by a very dear friend of mine who passed away, so in honor of her, I kept it. 

I am originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, MX and grew up partly in Colonia Santa Cecilia and partly in Tijuana. This picture was taken in "Los Barrancos de Tijuana."

When I was about 9 years old my family made the big move into the United States and we've been here ever since. My parents had three more children which they raised in McFarland. By "they" of course I mean my wonderful mom and my older sister. My dad's job as a father was complete as far as he was concerned when he helped conceive them.

I love to write and have been blogging/writing my crazy random thoughts since 2006. I won Bakersfield Blogger of the Year in 2007. It's the only thing I've ever won, and this includes lottery tickets and raffles.

Well, I guess by now I probably told you more than you needed to know so that's all. For now. I hope you enjoy reading my crazy random thoughts!

OH.. and another thing.. the most important thing! I LOVE THIS MAN!

"Hi Twinkie! Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you. I interviewed Ross Griego and can see how he changed your life. He is truly an amazing person and willing to help those in need. He gives hope to people instead of bringing them down, especially women. I was honored to have been given the privilege of speaking with him."

I didn't think it was very bold. It just made me think....I'm 38 years old(or is 39?) , and I'm still keeping secrets like i was 14. What's the worse that can happen? Nothing. It's not like I'm going to get "in trouble", I'm a freaken adult!! But I think those stupid thoughts. As for the job, girl, so much has happened, I've been writing a bog for two Weeks now. You just made me want to finish it. Keep in mind, it's been since DEC since i wrote and life has turned many flips since then, some great, some not so great and some life changing. But I can tell you this much, My depression is officially over!! Thank you God. I will be posting tonight, come hell or high water. (Norman, get your boots out)
