I know I should be used to it by now, but I'm not. It still surprises me that my cupboards and refrigerator can be fully stocked one week and then Bwammo! everything seems to be gone the next. Like gone, gone. With nothing but crumbs and cobwebs left behind. *sigh* I once heard someone say that assembly-line workers were apt to depression ...
self portrait tuesday
Good Enough
A few short years ago, you would not have found me in many pictures. In fact, aside from Christmas card photos or group photos, you'd be hard pressed to find me in any of our family events. I have always been more comfortable behind the camera documenting everyone else's lives. Besides, we People Of The Round Face are not the most ...
Not my real life
So, we're in beautiful La Jolla. (pronounce like "la hoya" not the Bugs Bunny way, of "la joe-la", but that's not important right now.) And our hotel is Right. On. The. Sand. (I know. Shut up.) And the sea is warm. And we're spending HOURS in the water. And then we lazily make our way back to the hotel (about ...
The Lake
Today's Self-Portrait Tuesday involves one of my very favorite places in my town. There's a lake here in Mission Viejo. Cleverly named Lake Mission Viejo by some original city founder. It's man-made and has two beaches. I have been going to this lake since I was pregnant with Adam (23 years ago!) and to survive the hot Mission Viejo ...

Self-Portrait Tuesdays. The Real Thing.
What happened to Self-Portrait Tuesdays, you're asking? Well, I've been Self-Portraiting on Tuesdays over on Facebook. (So, if you're on Facebook, look up and join Self-Portrait Tuesdays.) I know. Sorry. I'm a little A.D.D. and I get easily distracted, but that's not important right now. The Self-Portrait thing started a ...
Fat Tuesday
Another fabulous post by Kikita A few days ago, a box arrived at my home. And abuela was instantly excited. From the outside of the box, she and I both knew the glorious heaven that lay inside. And she reminded me about the game. About how there is a baby Jesus somewhere in the cake and whoever gets the piece with him in it has to buy the next ...

So here they are.... tarde pero seguro: Kikita. On my way to work. Marta. On my way to ... everywhere else. ;-) We didn't plan the car theme. ...
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 ...
