12 Facts About Me 

1. I come from a large family.
2. My mom named me Lilia, but the nurse in charge made a spelling mistake and wrote Lidia on the records. My parents actually liked the name and just kept it. I do have a middle name which is the same as my mom’s name, so it all worked out. I do love my name, so it’s not a problem at all. 
3. I played softball in 6th grade. I was always scared that the ball might hit me. My team had a lot of fun and- somehow- we won a first place trophy:) 
4. My favorite color is pink.
5. My hair was very long until about 11th grade.  
6. One of my favorite foods is steak and potatoes.  
7. I was in the high school band and played the french horn .
8. I was exempt from math and never had to take it in college.
9. When I was in college, my sister asked me to TRIM THE ENDS of her hair. I told her “NO, I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CUT HAIR.” She insisted and here’s the story. ….She had beautiful, waist-long and curly hair. I told her to just put on a shirt with stripes. Lol. I followed one of the lines… and her haircut was not exactly what we expected. It was not exactly “straight.” It was obviously // slanted //. I kept trimming a little more at a time. Three of my friends showed up. TWO of them helped me “fix” her hair. Oh, no….. my poor sister’s hair was shoulder length at the end of it all. She cried that night and her curls never grew back again!!!!  Ooops, sorry sis!   10. Let me keep it short and just say that I loved, loved, loved my wedding:)
11. I have developed some allergies that are not fun at all!
