7 Random Things About Me
I’ve been tagged -
1stopmom has tagged me to share 7 random/weird things about myself and then tag 7 more people to do the same.
- I hate socks. I only wear them because I have to, but I take them off as soon as I can. And, I don’t recycle socks - if I wore them even for 5 minutes, they go into the hamper.
- I don’t drink coffee. I can’t stand the smell/taste. My coffee equivalent is chocolate milk. I looove chocolate milk!
- My husband and I met over the phone and talked for a year before we met in person.
- I’m Boricua.
- My daughter is TriniRican - I guess that’s not really about me, huh?
- I still like to listen to freestyle music - I’m old school like that.
- I have a Second Life.
- I owe you all an extra (see #5 above) - I keep up with friends and family better online than via the phone. So, if you don’t have a FaceBook or MySpace account (or Twitter), you probably don’t hear from me as much as you’d like to. Sad, huh?
Now I get to tag 7 people to share their 7 random things:
- Mutha Mae from Word to your Mutha
- Jenny from The So Called Me
- My girl at Forever Always Weddings
- Super Mom in NY from Getting out of Debt
- Rae from Ramblings of a TV Whore
And I can’t think of any more folks, so you only get 5…

Thinking of New Look
I’ve been thinking this blog needs a make-over.
Not just a new look, but perhaps also a more concentrated theme.
So, help me out…
What speaks modern mom to you?

Oh so fashionably late…
The party started on Friday and I’m just now arriving!
You don’t know what I’m talking about? You don’t know about the blog party 5 Minutes for Mom is hosting? Well go on over and read all about it.
For those of you arriving here from the party, WELCOME! I’ll try to be a gracious hostess.
You can read a little about me here and find out just what exactly the name NtycnBoricua is all about.
I often write about our lil monkey (aka baby girl), sometimes include the husband, and mostly just ramble on about motherhood, parenting, and my goal of working from home and becoming a WAHM.
I do hope you enjoy your stay and hopefully you’ll come back often! Enjoy the party!

NtycnBoricua, who?
I received an email from Oh, The Joys asking me just what the heck my screen name means.NtycnBoricua
She found my explanation interesting and suggested I post it on here. So, as the ever dutiful person that I tend to be, here goes nothing.
First, let’s break it down - Ntycn & Boricua
Ntycn stands for the word enticing
Boricua is another word for being Puerto Rican and can probably be best explained by Wikipedia
Boricua a word of origin from Boriken (or Boriquén, Borinquen, or Borinquén) used by the original Taino Indian population to refer to Puerto Rico before the coming of the Spanish, which translated as “The Valiant People of the Sacred House”. The word has come to identify any resident or descendent of Puerto Rico, who will use the term, “¡Yo soy Boricua!” (”I am Boricua”) to identify themselves.
My now-husband, then-boyfriend created the screen name for me about 6 or 7 years ago and I’ve been using it ever since. It’s just kind of stuck.Well, there you go folks. That is the short and sweet explanation to solve the mystery. Enjoy.
Don’t forget it’s delurking week! Go ahead and show the love. You know you wanna

Late Introduction
I realized that I’ve never really posted anything about me - so here’s an attempt at introducing myself.A few things about me:
- 26 years old
- live in the lightning capital of the US (specifically Orlando)
- been married 3 years
- first time mom
- originally from Puerto Rico
- hate okra
- love to dance - although I don’t get to do this much anymore
- love my family
- genealogy is a hobby - check out OneGreatFamily to get started
- aspiring SAHM or WAHM - either is fine by me
I love being a mom and was surprised to find out how much you can truly love your baby without even knowing her. I still can’t believe that I actually created such a beautiful, intelligent, and what’s a good word? - energetic - yes we’ll use that one, such an energetic tiny being! My daughter is almost 10 months old and is definitely energetic, which is a nice way of saying she can be like a little monkey! lol 
She is almost walking and has taken a few steps, she wants to climb on everything, touch everything, get inside of cabinets, etc. etc. The list goes on and on…
Isn’t she adorable? She was chasing daddy at the time and trying to grab the camera, hence the close up.
Well anyway, that’s a bit about me. Now back to work - we all gotta make a living, right?
