I don't seem to have a creative thought in my head these days.I know. Sad for me. =(I really need to do something to get that creative mojo back. (not to be confused with the Cuban garlic sauce you use to marinate meat, which sounds really tasty, but that's not important right now...) So I have set up a regimen that looks something like ...

Happy Father’s Day!
Ok, I'll admit it. I'm no good at sharing. (It's me, Kikita, again.) I'm not really sure how it happened, perhaps those first three years of my life while I was an only child really stuck with me and I simply never got used to the idea of sharing anything . . . And (as you may have noticed) I LOVE being the center of ...
Smooth.
Picture this:It's a super hot summer day and you're craving something sweet and icy cold, that is both filling and refreshing.And you're getting a little nostalgic for the nearly perfect summer days of your island youth.And you're 3,000 miles from the nearest Palacio De Los Jugos.There's only one answer for this little ...
The game’s afoot…
I'm on vacation. Truly I am. We're swimming and relaxing and I'm even doing some scrapbooking and lots of reading. Yes. A perfectly relaxing vacation. However, I'm still connected to the world because we inhabit a world of super-techiness (is that a word?). So, I'm sitting today by the pool and I receive a text ...
TTFN (ta-ta for now)
It's officially SUMMER (!) for the Darbys and we're on vacation for the rest of the week. I will have the laptop and I may or may not be inspired to blog. See there? I have this total "Don't mess with me - I'm on vacation" vibe happening already (but that's not important right now). I leave you (and my house and ...
No more pencils. No more books. No more…..Oh, wait…
Our school year is officially over. (Yay!!) As the teacher around here it's a huge relief for me to have all paperwork done and not have to think about lesson plans and inspiring young minds and all of that for the next few months. And at least for the next few months I also don't have to hear the questions from "concerned" ...
2 families. 1 house. 70 years. 3000 miles.
Who are these people? They are my friend (from Babalu blog), Val's grandparents.Why is that important right now?Umm.... well, I get very emotional when I talk about this.So just read the story here in Val's own words. WARNING: Get Kleenex first. ...
I only have eyes for you
It's the end of the school year and that means finals and high school musical productions. The past few days have been a blur of rehearsals, costumes and cast parties. In this case, Lucy's High School Theater Arts class put on a really fun show with musical scene selections from various Broadway musicals which they called Broadway Rocks! ...
Why it’s hip to be Cuban in So Cal this month
If I am surrounded by Cuban people, food, and music, you can bet that I'm probably with my big, fat, Cuban family or that I'm back in Miami. So imagine my absolute delight to find myself in this situation yesterday in Laguna Beach (practically in my own backyard, but that's not important right now) and (wait for it,Theater ...
It’s just not going to happen today. (sigh)
I have spent an hour (!) trying to compose a post and when I went to save it, TypePad ate it alive. (Yes, I think that was an actual burp coming from my monitor!) I am taking it as A Sign From God that I should be resting and getting myself ready for church instead. Again, I'm not superstitious or anything..... just being prudent. ;-) And ...
