I just got home. I had a last minute limo run to the casino tonight. It takes an hour to get there, a four hour stay and then an hour home. It makes for a very long, boring night. I forgot to take a book to read so I ended up buying a magazine. I lost $10 in the slot machines. Not a very exciting night although I did get a good tip which was nice. Since it's already Friday, I figured I'd do my Friday Five. I can't believe it's already Friday! I can't believe it's already August! Time is flying by way too fast which is good because the girls will be home soon but bad because summer is almost over. They had some really good specials at Wal-Mart on school supplies so I think I will head there tomorrow and stock up on stuff. I love school shopping! If I don't get a chance to post again, have a great weekend!

1. What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from?
Both of my parents are Mexican-American with Mexican and American-Indian ancestory.

2. Of those countries, which would you most like to visit?
Well, my options are limited so I would have to say Mexico :-)

3. Which would you least like to visit? Why?
Since I don't have any other country to choose from I guess I don't have an answer to this one.

4. Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage?
We celebrate Cinco de Mayo every year with a pinata for the kids and lots of Mexican food and margaritas. I am very proud of my heritage but being in North Dakota I don't have many options to expose my kids to their heritage.

5. Who were the first ancestors to move to your present country (parents, grandparents, etc)?
On my mother's side my grandfather was working on our family tree for many years before he passed away. From what he researched our family has been in the United States in the California area since it was still Mexico. On my father's side from what I know his great-great-grandparents lived in New Mexico so I'm not sure when they came from Mexico to the United States.
