    What got me started

    Ok, call me dorky but I watch Spanish night time soap operas. They are pretty interesting and last only about 4 months. When I started watching this one I thought the girl kinda looked like me. Then other people I know started commenting on it. I would see her everynight on TV and say, "hey why can't I look like her." I started atkins, she kept me motivated, on bad days I'd turn on the TV and think; one day I WILL look like her.

    Ok so here's a pic ... what do you think? I want to look like this at goal. Danna Garcia

    Maybe just our hair and our face looks the same, she has an awesome body.

        My mother-in-law and sister-in-laws would love you!!! They watch those all the time. Sometimes when I'm over there and they're watching them they tell me what's going on. My m-i-l told me if I watched them I could learn spanish. HA! They talk toooooo fast most of the time. My husband doesn't speak spanish so he's no help. Lol! Sometimes my m-i-l gets really really wrapped up in those soaps and will even record them. They're interesting though...the women on those shows are gorgeous!!!!!

              Wow, that is quite a compliment. She is gorgeous! I wish I looked like her, maybe at goal.

              Thanks everybody for the nice compliments you sure know how to boost a girl's ego.

              Bug - you should watch the shows and turn on the closed captioning on the screen. I love the soaps and your mother in law is right, they are really interresting. They suck you in until you find yourself rushing home from going out to dinner to catch the show (lol, can you tell i'm hooked?). The thing I like the most about them is that they actually end. Unlike english soap operas these have a beginning, a climax, and an end. I've never been able to watch the english ones because I don't know what's going on. They've been on longer then I've been alive, how can you watch something like that? Sorry to all the soap watchers.

                    LOL, I know! I remember when I was a kid I couldn't understand why my mom watched those tacky novellas now I'm hooked. I bet Abi will grow up thinking the same thing.

                      Both of my sister in laws thought the same thing and now they love them too! I've never been a soap opera fan as it is but the novella's are interesting because they have to move more quickly. Maybe I'll try watching them again. I actually use more spanish than I realize. There's a kitten that comes around outside and I call him "Gordo". When my sons have a runny nose I'll tell them "You've got mocho's...get a tissue!" Once when they were little we were at the park and there was a family having a birthday party. The man yelled something at his kids and our kids took off too! Turns out he said it was time for cake! Lol!
