Amy Kikita reminded me that she had officially reinstated Self-Portrait Tuesdays last week and I totally spaced because I spent a large portion of my day driving my people to different places. So here they are.... tarde pero seguro: Kikita. On my way to work. Marta. On my way to ... everywhere else. ;-) We didn't plan the car theme. ...
I’m a fool. *sigh*
I know it's been a while since I've written anything, but I trust my first-born kept you entertained while I was gone. (thanks, Amy Kikita!) I have so much to tell you that I don't know where to start.... Okay, so my husband Eric had to go to Las Vegas to work. And because I can be opportunistic sometimes (=D) I invited myself ...
The Obsession Continues . . .
Kikita here. I'm sure you are wondering why I've hijacked the blog so consistently this week . . . well, the first reason is because I've done so many cool things . . . Helloooo Andy! But the other reason is that Mami went to Vegas this weekend so she was busy getting ready for her mini-viaje. I'm sure that she will have some ...
Andy Garcia is a golden god.
First, I'd like to apologize for waiting over 24 hours to post, but once you hear my excuse, I'm sure you will forgive me. This is Kikita and peer pressure still works on me. :-) A few days ago, I received and email from our blogging buddy Ziva (from Blog for Cuba - a wonderful blog and an amazing woman, but that's not important ...
Plan B
The plan was to go to L.A. and be sophisticated women. To be the cool people who see documentary films in L.A. The film was supposed to be about Cuban doctors. After reading the description, I had my doubts as to how truthful it would be, but I decided it would be worth it to see the film and glean what truth I could from it. Since it was showing ...
The Official Re-Instatement of Self-portrait Tuesdays
A couple of years ago Mami decided to do an art journal. She had all these creative exercises . . . one of which was called "Self-Portrait Tuesdays." The idea was to get used to seeing yourself on film. You know how we all are . . . we love to hide from the camera. Nobody likes how they look in pictures. This was an exercise in getting ...
The Best and the Worst
I had an idea.A sort of getting-to-know-you idea.And then I thought it might make a really awesome Christmas present.And then I thought maybe I would take it out for a test run. And because I'm actually LOSING SLEEP over this, I decided I'd just go ahead and blog about it and see if you will play with me. (thanks for indulging me. ...
I’ve got some good news and some bad news…
I'll tell you the bad news first. My camera died.My beloved Olympus E-300 Evolt won't shoot anymore. Yes, the one I use EVERY SINGLE DAY to document my extraordinarily ordinary life. It was quite sudden, too.It was working just fine.And then it just stopped. Just like that. No more pictures for me, Precious. (She said, in a sad, ...
Cuban guys can COOK
My friend, Val (from Babalú blog) sent me the following story: "Henry was at my house on Sunday for the Dolphins game and mentioned that he’s on a list serv for his graduating class at Belen. Basically, it’s a net service where men from that class post links and communicate with each other. Someone had mentioned on the list serv ...
Somebody in Wisconsin (who has recently been to Spain) loves me!
My friend and fellow blogger, the class-factotum (linked over on the right under Smart Cuban Women and Friends) was recently wed. She and her new husband honeymooned in (among other places) Spain. C-F was kind enough to send me this little gem right here:Yeah, baby! That's pimentón - paprika's smokier and spicier ...
