We live about an hour south of Los Angeles. (That's how you calculate distances here in Southern California; by how long it takes you in traffic to get from one place to another.) This is a wonderful thing because that means that we can go see shows in L.A. but not have to live there. See what I mean? Win-win. ;-) And when summer begins the ...

Posts about everything going on in my life. Enjoy!
Teenagers in the 70’s. Your thoughts?
Amy and I were in L.A. last week. I took her to see Dirty Dancing at the Pantages Theater in Hollywood. Yes. A totally chick flick umm... I mean stage show night and we had a fantastic time. ("Nobody puts Baby in a corner!") Of course, being in L.A. a week after the Lakers' Championship win was interesting and I made a few ...
Angels in the Outfield
I love baseball. Duh, I'm Cuban. Of course, I love baseball.Correction. I love live baseball games. Eric says that's quirky. (I think he means it in a good way...) So tonight we went to our first Angel game this season. Sadly, the Angels really stunk and the Colorado Rockies wiped the field with them 11-1, but that's not important ...
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 ...
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 ...
I Can Do It!
Yet another PSA (public service announcement) with a a really cool twist: The Institute for Women Entrepreneurs is hosting a local event for Women entrepreneur's in Orange County, called: The Power Within...Women's Summit 2009They are saying it's: The largest, most dynamic cross-cultural Women’s Summit in Orange County! It ...
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 ...
It’s my blog and I’ll whine if I want to
List of stuff that's stressing me out right now:We returned from our trip to Washington D.C. and New York a week ago and I'm still catching up on laundry. Lucy has a performance this coming weekend for which I am painting backdrops and overseeing costumes. Our first technical rehearsal was today and I'm pretty exhausted. Jonathan ...
