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 ...

Posts about everything going on in my life. Enjoy!
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
I did it, I got a facebook. I am a facebooker. I am facebooking.
This is Kikita. For the past few weeks it seems I haven't been about to get through one day without being asked: "Do you facebook?""Are you a facebooker?""Are you on facebook?" And every now and then there is the snide (ok, they never go so far as snide, but there is a definite tone going on) comment, "Oh, ...
On top of the world
Back in February of this year Eric and I went to Hawaii. While we were there, he gave me his wedding ring to hold while he went swimming and I held on to it for the rest of that day. I'm embarrassed to tell you what happened next, but obviously not embarrassed enough, because I'm going to tell you that story now: I was wearing his ...
Beverly Hills Cuban
You know I live in a bubble, right? A sweet little suburban bubble called Mission Viejo. We are located halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego and our fair city is only about 20 years old. Which isn't even old in dog years. Eric and I spent the weekend in L.A. - our primary objective was to see Jim Gaffigan, the comedian, ...
Let them eat CAKE. =D
There's nothing Eric and I love more than going to a comedy club. And there's nothing better than enjoying a comedian who is smart. (Sorry. I have a low tolerance for dozens of f* bombs in comedy routines that get cheap laughs, but that's not important right now.) So I'm always delighted when we go see a ...
WARNING: Cubanism can strike at any moment!
My friend Pam lives in the town (hamlet? community?) of Hanford in Central California. She and her husband, Gene, go for walks in the evening and this is what they see: It's a toad. A TOAD, people. Can you say, "Gross me out in twelve different ways???" Eeeww! Eric and I go on a nightly walk and this is what we see here ...
Cucufate Explained
The following interactive explanation has been brought to you by the lovely Kikita =D First, click here (then come back): CUCUFATE "Abuela, de donde salio cucufate?" "Cucufate es un santo." WHAT?!?! I asked Señor Google. It's True. Cucufate is the Spanish version of Saint Cucuphas. Who knew that Saints could be ...
