Okay, so I did a little more than visit Desi Arnaz Jr. *sigh* when we went to Las Vegas this past weekend. Eric had to be in meetings for most of the time (except when his client wined him and dined him and took him to The Mirage to see Danny Gans, but that's not important right now). Which is why I took Adam. So that he could keep me ...
My Big, Fat, Cuban Family
Family is everything to me. I love them more than words can describe.
The Best and the Worst
I had an idea.A sort of getting-to-know-you idea.And then I thought it might make a really awesome Christmas present.And then I thought maybe I would take it out for a test run. And because I'm actually LOSING SLEEP over this, I decided I'd just go ahead and blog about it and see if you will play with me. (thanks for indulging me. ...
The Ending to the Story
Kikita here. It all started with Adam and a random text message: "What's the name of the kid in The NeverEnding Story?" "Bastian," I replied automatically. "Why the nostalgia?" (Note: I didn't quite put it that way, but hey, I'm using poetic license here.) Adam was at the video store and he had seen the ...
Chronological dis-order
My mom (94) has a giant stack of scrapbooks. When I say giant, I mean, if you were to stack them all one on top of the other, they would measure at least 20 feet! Giant stack. In them she keeps greeting cards she's received over the years, matchbooks, letters, newspaper clippings, birth and wedding announcements, artwork done by the kids, voters ...

Bilingual brain fart
I like to own movies that I know I'll watch over and over. We have quite the extensive video/dvd library. Seriously, how else could we play the Kevin Bacon Game?? ;-)And as you already know, I'm really easily entertained. So, I'm cruising through Target the other day and I found this dvd on sale:Disney does ...
Making it look easy
For the past few weeks, Amy Kikita and I have been meeting regularly to work on a video/slideshow. In this case, it was to honor my nephew, Rafa, who just turned 40. When you see the final project, you realize there's more art than science to cutting together a good film. It is sweet and poignant and cute and funny. The song she ...
Luza & the Baseball Player
One of my nephews, Raphael (aka "Rafa") was celebrating his 40th birthday this weekend. (Hi Rafa! Happy Birthday!!) His beautiful wife, Lisa threw him an absolutely fabulous birthday bash. Of course, all his friends were in attendance, as well as his big, fat, Cuban family and his big, fat, Jewish family. (I should probably ...
It’s about TIME
Much to my Jonathan's great sadness, I read somewhere that Bill Gates only lets his kids play video games for about forty-five minutes a day. And because even though we homeschool, I don't want my kids to grow up to be total Social Retards, (I know you were thinking it!) we have Gaming Rules. So the rules state that they can spend ...
