So, Lucy and I are out shopping.And we get to our favorite store and we find this sign in the parking lot: Really?How exactly does this work?? It stops me cold. Every. Single. Time. Seriously. My synapses are on warp-speed. Is this really for real? So we walk a little further. Ah! The Perimeter! (ignore it....) I'd be lying ...
Silly Things
So much to do…
I have a big, long list of things to do.And I have been so busy all week that I thought I'd just wait for Saturday to tackle all the things left undone. Yes, but am I actually doing any of the tasks on my list?Although, I have to say, that being Cuban, I'm not really sure I know how to lollygag, but that's not important right now. ...
Guilty pleasure
We saw the following movie trailer recently and it looked cute and pretty funny. After all, it's a Disney film and the trailer cracked me up...Seriously, I was totally laughing out loud and thinking okay, maybe we'll see the film. Or not. In fact, I wasn't really tempted, until I read a synopsis that included the following: "A ...
Bilbo? Quien es Bilbo?
The following post has been brought to you by the fabulous Kikita: Every year I go through the same thing. Every year it cracks me up. Every year I am reminded of what an Uber-geek I am when it comes to this Lord of the Rings stuff. Ever since we've been throwing these parties for Bilbo's (and Frodo's) birthday, we have to get a ...
Celebrating birthdays in Middle-earth
NOTE: If you know what I mean when I refer to Middle-earth, and you consider yourself a Tolkien uber-geek, then read on.... (If not, then come back in a few days when I will be posting a delicious recipe for a Cuban Pudín de Pan or Cuban bread pudding). ;-) You would think that for all the fuss we go through that it's a family ...
It’s better to give than… (whatever…)
Look at how generous I am. I am going to spare you the pain of sitting through an entire waste-of-time movie but which has one brilliant laugh-out-loud scene, which doesn't come anywhere near redeeming the entire thing, but that's not important right now. I'm a giver that way. =D Happy Friday! ...
My blog has been saying a lot of stuff behind my back…
From wordle.net comes a "blog word generator."Apparently this is what my blog has been saying this week: Who knew? ;-) Go here to make your own. H/T Pam and Geno ...
PSYCH-out
My darling blog-friend, Chantel has tapped me for the following meme:Choose a favorite book or movie or television program (wait! Stop right there..... I have too many favorite books and movies and I only watch tv when someone I know and love and trust recommends something that I then have to go out and rent because we don't get any channels ...
Code Red
Prepare yourself South Florida..... The last few days have been a flurry of texts and phone calls between my mom and my sisters and my cousins and my nieces and myself.My big, fat, Cuban family is preparing to invade Miami. (Ay Dios mio!) Michael and Kimberly are getting married on Friday. (Yay!) And because of the nature of weddings and all the ...
Caught in the moment
Our kids get such a kick out of the way Eric and I interact.There's always a lot of eye-rolling and sheesh-ing when we are affectionate in their presence.But I know they like it. They like that we are always holding hands and giving each other meaningful looks.Lucy especially likes to photograph us candidly. It's probably comforting to think that ...
