This is Lucy. And this is Official Blog-Hijacking Attempt #2. The following is a post I did on my own super-secret-double-probation blog. I haven't posted enough articles to share with you yet, but when I do, you'll be the first to hear about it. In the meantime, here ya go... - - - I have been doing Geometry for the past ...

Sharing life.
Twenty-five. That's how many steps it takes us to walk from our front door to our next-door neighbor's door. Twenty-five steps. And we walk those twenty-five steps dozens of times during the week (sometimes during one day, but that's not important right now). Debbie ( the mom): "We made homemade enchiladas. Come for ...
Fantasy Island
If you were thinking this was going to be a post about a tv show from the 70's, ("de plane! de plane!") I'm sorry to disappoint. What happened was that Eric went to see our accountant yesterday and got the really, really bad news that we owe the IRS....well...a lot. (Our accountant just so happens to have his office in Newport ...
I’m not superstitious, but…
Isn't it bad enough that I have to tip-toe my way through yet another Friday the 13th in a span of 28 days?? I also have to deal with this creature crossing my path, back and forth, back and forth, a dozen times a day:Meet The Cat Bastet. Not just Bastet. Her full name is: The Cat Bastet. (I highly recommend that you read ...
Learning to do advanced geometry
One of the beautiful things about home education is that I get to learn stuff alongside my kids. Seriously, I think back to when I was in high school and learning Algebra and Geometry. Well, "learning" might be a bit of an exaggeration. I showed up. I kind of did what I was told to do. I parroted answers that I had ...
Gratuitous breakfast photo
We don't (and can't) eat like this every day. But every now and then (usually on weekends so that Adam & Amy Kikita can be here) we make it a point to sit down to a crazy-abundant-is-that-real-bacon breakfast. Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat out. And in typical Gemini fashion, it's my favorite meal to eat at home. ...
Cheaper than prozac
I've been a little down lately. My roses are not yet in bloom. *sigh* And the sweet peas and gladiolus have not yet broken through the still unseasonably cold (this is California and it's already March!) ground. What's a depressed flower-lover like me to do? Inspired partly by the gorgeous Gerbera Daisies that I used as a ...
“Funny, but you don’t look Cuban.”
I get this all the time. It's the blue eyes and fair skin that seems to confuse people. Or maybe it's that all the news lately from Cuba seems to show a sort of third-world-dark-skinned population. And yes, many Cubans are black. And Chinese. And even Jewish. We Cubans come in all sizes and flavors. =D To clarify, both my parents ...
Blogging for breakfast
I never realized when I started blogging that there would be perks. But truly, blogging has opened up worlds that would not have been available to me if I had remained quietly anonymous in my little piece of the Bubble that we call The O.C. I also get some requests from people who would not normally contact me otherwise. For example, I just ...
To sleep, perchance to dream…
NOTE: The following is an unpaid testimonial. I'm just a really satisfied consumer with a blog. =D Did you know beds have a "shelf life?" I guess they tell you that somewhere in the literature as you're purchasing the bed in the first place, but you're probably so excited and happy to be getting a new bed that ...
