: About Me

I was born in Oakland, California and my Dad took me to Texas quickly at nine days old to get away from my alcoholic mother. I have been in Texas the rest of my 42 years.
Most of my life I have lived on a farm or in some form of country or rural living. I lived in the big city of Austin, Texas for a while. There, I was a night time cab driver. (ANYONE WANTING TO HELP ME PUBLISH A BOOK ABOUT FEMALE NIGHT TIME CAB DRIVERS, EMAIL ME llongoria@gvtc.com. I'M LOOKING TO WRITE A BOOK ABOUT IT). I plan on writing a story about my 2 year adventures as a female night time cabby. My cab career ended when a drunk driver T-boned me and flipped my cab and it hit a telephone pole.
I have overcome many hardships in my life and have remained strong through them all. God has been there every step of the way for me.
For instance, I was raped at 8 years old. Abused by my mother, (yes, my Mother & Father remained together, and are still together), survived many car trips with a drunk mother, locked in closets, cheated on by my little sister & husband, sexually physically & mentally abused by my ex-husband.
Not once did I turn to alcohol to fix my problems, but faced them one at a time with courage. What hurt me, actually made me stronger. I am a survivor. I beat cancer.
I am now a happily married woman with two beautiful granddaughters and living next to my Dad on our family farm in the country.
My Daddy has always been my strength, and my mentor. I loved him at birth and will love him until the day we go to the great beyond and then even into infinity.

Women With Armpit Hair why women need armpit hair. I will tell you why it is a necessity for women to have armpit hair. Because God put it there for a reason. Women with armpit hair are natural and sexy. Yes, Granny said sexy. I will tell you, it is not a good idea to shave off your pit hair then put on deodorant. The deodorant clogs the skin up and it can not breath. The deodorant is absorbed and it does not leave the body. Here you will learn a lesson. Listen to the wise old Granny and what I tell you. When I was younger, I feared what a man would think to see me with armpit hair, and I ...
