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 ...
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 ...
“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 ...
“It’s a good thing.”
My friend and faithful blog-reader, Mica (whom I had the pleasure to meet at Cuba Nostalgia last year), shared a sweet moment she had at the 2009 Food and Wine Festival in Miami a few weeks ago. She got to meet Martha. Yes, THAT Martha. I swear. I want to be her sometimes. (Martha, not Mica.) Martha. She who represents everything I ...
Happy Arbor Mardi Gras?
Kikita posts again! You knew it was coming . . . Sheila still refuses to take down the tree. One of our devoted readers and Facebook friends, Billy, encouraged her madness and sent her decorations, New Orleans music, and King Cake! Obviously, "Tree Decorating" is a lovely excuse to have a party . . . So we had our own little Fat ...
Ninety-five.
She still dyes her hair and wears makeup every day.She only wears her glasses for reading because she's a little vain about her looks.She remembers everyone's birthday.If you're sick, she'll call you every day until you report that you are well.She saves every card from every birthday, Mother's Day and Christmas and works ...
Be it ever so humble…
Thanks to all of you who participated in the drawing for the mugs:I took all of your names and plugged them into a list at RANDOM.org and the following names/comments popped up: 1) Marti, I think I have been reading MBFCF for about two years. Actually, it's been longer that that. Wow - in the cyberworld, that's probably the equivalent ...
