She is the female version of Ron White. She keeps you involved, interested, and amused with a non-stop, laidback country patter that is a wicked combination of rural, home-grown smartassery and a sophisticated "let's see if you can keep up with me" razor-sharp intelligence. That's a lot of words just to say she's funny as hell and one of my favs.

5 de MAYO It's not our Independence day , the battle that our Mexican people fight and win was a huge victory for our country because Mexicans fight with just basics and old tools they use to used for survival purposes etc, so in the other hand the French soldiers was totally equipped with modern guns and stuff much more adequate for war than just simple tools, also they used to be recognized to be one of the best soldiers at that moments of history so they underestimated the courage and brave hearts of our mexican people but we win, yay! So anyways that is not our Independence day 😊. The Independence Day of México its 15/16 of September of 1810 and it was in Guanajuato. SO EVERY 15/16 SEPTEMBER México celebrate our Independence Day 🎉🎉🎉❤!! (I'm learning English hehe so thanks for understanding) blessing for all and Viva México!! 🎉🎉
