My grand-nephew, Ben is celebrating a birthday today. This beautiful boy is probably the most photographed child of this century. There is a really good reason. He is just too cute. I know.Super cute, right? High cuteness factor. Cuteness oozes from his pores. In fact, he represents four years worth of cuteness. (Today is his fourth ...

The Gift
Okay, a little background before I begin. (This is Lucy, by the by.) My mom insisted that I keep busy this summer by completing an artistic project every week. This way, I can keep my Facebooking privileges and I don't become a total couch potato this summer. Everyone's happy. Last week, I knitted a really cute green beret and actually ...
The more things change, the more they stay the same…
This day in history...Thursday, June 16th, 1983. This is what I looked like that morning. 28 years old, massively pregnant and sporting a mullety-shag do. (don't judge me.) Standing over my beautifully just-finished pink and blue bassinet. (This was back in the pre-historic ...
Misspellers of the World: UNTIE!
When I started the first grade here in the U.S. I had only been in this country for six months. We were still trying to get used to life in America and spoke only Spanish at home. (That rule carried on for as long as I can remember.) My English at that point was only what I had gleaned from watching Captain Kangaroo ("El Capitán ...
“Ya, KIA, Ya!”
I drive around my suburban neighborhood in a minivan. It's actually a KIA Sedona. And I like it. A lot. We just call it The KIA. And that has become its given name. Adam, who is 22 and who has, shall we say, a different driving style than I do, mocks me whenever I am driving and I accelerate to pass someone. "Ya, Kia, Ya!" He shouts ...

She can’t help it. It’s in her blood.
The high school kids performed the musical, Bye Bye Birdie last weekend. And okay, I know I’m totally partial, but they were wonderful! Rosie was delightful in her irritation at Albert for his inability to commit, and so grudgingly she makes an inspired decision to have Conrad (Albert’s client) kiss a girl from the small town of Sweet Apple, Ohio: ...
Birthday Musings from a Golden goddess
Obviously, I, Kikita is the Golden goddess (little "g"), wrote this post. My birthday is two weeks away. I'm going to be 26. TWENTY-SIX!! I am a HUGE fan of birthdays. I am the midnight caller singing a cheesy song (because the traditional "Happy Birthday" just wouldn't be enough). My philosophy is that a birthday is ...
Miami Rules.
The following are words to the wise from Kikita. Mami has certain rules when it comes to being in Miami.1. Eat ONLY Cuban food.2. Little or (preferably) NO black amongst your wardrobe - White & Bright Colors ONLY3. Red Lipstick is a MUST. These are in no particular order and all are considered a sin if broken. If you will remember my trip last ...
To my little Drama Queen…
