About

Amanda, Manda, RaeRae, AmandaRaeRae & other curse words I choose not to share, are how most know me.


As a Gemini, I've been described as talkative (My bestie says, 'Haces amigos hasta con las piedras!... Translation= You can make friends with rocks, even!), metal-mouth (not for long, suckas!), strong-minded, independent, detail-oriented obsessed, and can almost always be caught wearing shoes that will make you look twice. My phone is basically attached to my hand so please don't ever be offended... I promise I'm listening to you. ; )


As an El Paso, Texas native and San Antonio, Texas resident (currently) I love a strong margarita, a hard run outdoors and am stoked to live OUTSIDE of the Lone-Star-State in my near and very awesome future. As a UTSA graduate I'm proud to say that I've held positions for amazing organizations such as The San Antonio Current, RJReynolds tobacco (Camel on behalf of BFG Communications), and I'm presently rockin' out in my office chair as a Marketing Coordinator for Sea Island Shrimp House & Tiago's Cabo Grille.


My personal heroes are ((in no particular order))

• Mom & Dad...I realize that sounds cheesy, but they are a young at heart, Harley riding, party-throwing, entrepreneur-ing, conga beating & maraca shaking duo that this world would be incomplete w/o! They ALWAYS have the best advice and will kick my ass if I don't answer the phone when they call to ask 'computer questions' such as... 'how do I search for something on the world wide web?'... wait- they HAVE gotten better... gotta give credit where it's due. A special s/o to my Pops who is my family by marriage but if I were ever in jail I'd definitely call HIM, my mom would have my ass on a skewer before posting bail.  

• Madonna... for NEVER giving a hoot about what everyone else is doing and just being herself. No last name needed. P.S. Don't EVER compare Lady Gaga to her. Ever. 

The purpose of this blog is to prove to that talking to myself is not a bad thing and you know... just one more thing to do on my phone. Also, for Ian (my 8 year old brother pictured at top) to know that age is just a number and no matter what, God knew 24 years ago that I needed a sidekick to make this world a better place...
