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!

I am looking forward to the weekend so I can check out the book club. Gracias for your comment, I really needed some words of encouragement! My book is for adults; it's an adventure with romance and action and legends. I've been finding that the readers who love it and are constantly asking me for a sequel are women in their 30-50's, married with kids and careers. There have been a handful of men, too. It's a nice read, I think, meant for entertainment and a little escape from the everyday grind of life. Have you checked out the website? I created it by myself! I am very proud of it. :-)
