NOTE: This post will make sense to die-hard Tolkien fans and LOTR uber-geeks (and you know who you are and in which case you'll love the links on this page) and will merely amuse the rest of you. =D In September of 1973, the author J.R.R. Tolkien died. As usually happens with notable literary or artistic figures, after their death there is ...

YOUR ROCK STAR NAME: (first pet & current car)Chummy Caravan 2.YOUR GANGSTA NAME: (fav icecream flavor, favorite cookie)Dulce de Leche Nilla Wafer (or is it pronounced "weifah?") 3. YOUR "FLY Guy/Girl" ...

He loves me. He loves me. NOT.
I have a love/hate thing going right now with Ralph Lauren. (YES, the designer.) The love part is that I LOVE his Safari perfume. LOVE IT. Anything else turns on me. (must be that "hot latina" blood. =D) I've been wearing it (wearing it well, I might add) for the past 18 years. I never fail to get compliments. Total stranger: "My ...
Mas café, por favor. . .
My brain is full. That happens every now and then. It's like it just gets overstuffed and I don't feel like I've got one creative idea in my head. This doesn't happen to anyone else, does it? ;-) Like some days there is just not enough caffeine in the world to go around. Today's one of those days. I have so much stuff I want to write ...
Que hay? (“what is there?)

“Elbis”
I promised, didn't I? Here's Lucy and Daisy with the Elvis impersonator - excuse me - Elvis Tribute Specialist. He looks pretty good, doesn't he? Daisy, the seven year old, kept asking, "is that REALLY Elvis?" He looked really authentic (in spite of being dead and all) and I hated to burst her bubble, but seriously, it was the ...
They were made to be broken…
I have rules. Serious unbreakable rules. Rule #1 - I only eat ice cream if the temperature goes over 95°. Rule #2 - I will not be photographed eating food, particularly ice-cream. Rule #3 - I will not post pictures of myself eating food, particularly ice-cream, online. So, umm... here is a picture of me eating ice-cream when it was only 85° ...

“Five Random Facts” or “The Highlights of Marta’s OCD”
As if my blog wasn't already full of random and useless facts about me, I've been tagged by sweet Annie.And of course, I had to do an entire scrapbook page. Instead of eight random facts, I wrote five because that worked better with this layout. =D(and truthfully, it was a no-brainer because I had already done it - this is from a class I did last ...
