Funny, a little too bold in personality sometimes, but I've decided I'm okay with that.
I'm a mother, sister, friend, aunt, and usually whatever someone needs me to be.
I am constantly amazed by the human race, sometimes in a bad way, most times in a good way.
I try to notice something worth complimentin​g about everyone I meet, then I tell them. You'd be AMAZED at how people react. It's part of the kinder, gentler Lupita ( my New Year's resolution every year, but this year I think I'm getting there - yay! I'm exhausted)

People who like to laugh and don't take themselves extremely seriously.
I'd really prefer avoiding heavy chats about religion and politics.
Tell me about your world, your day, your friends and family.
Send me a joke you heard or the lyrics to a song you can't stop singing.
What did you see when you were out today that made you go "What the...?!"​

I love to spend time with good people, and sometimes with the bad (I learn so much!).
Love laughing, reading, talking, listening, eating, driving, watching, shooting pool, razzing my friends over a loud and raucus game of poker. Living.
Art, fixing things, things that go bump in the night. Talking to total strangers. Even in person;).
