  2. Hi Annie, I had to laugh at this because I am not the typical American woman either. I am 5 foot, brown hair and eyes. I am college educated and had a well paying clerical job until I retired. We have a 4 bedroom home in the city. The church things are correct since I am a Christian. I do not smoke or drink beer . A glass of wine on occasion, but just a few sips since I am to sensitive. I have a cousin that has aids. I don't believe in the occult, and I know there is a devil. I drink low fat milk and diet soda and love broccoli along with the rest of my family. I have never been in trouble with the law. My roots are traced to Mexico and Spain. My grandma and mom both had green eye and were fair skinned. My grandma had 2 brothers with red hair and blue eyes. There are Mexicans of German heritage, they immigrated during the wars. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, a unique being created by my God. :)

    P.S. I did my traditions meme.
