Mastering Facebook
Posted on June 25, 2007 - Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I finally figured out how to use Facebook! Sort of. I´m so bad with the whole Web 2.0 thing, I guess I´m too old for all these new tricks.
Anyway, people keep inviting me and only recently was I able to figure out how to set up my profile and yesterday, I actually uploaded some photos [...]

I switched from Internet Explorer to about a month back and I have to say that it is really great. Firefox lets you have everything in one window, under tabs and you can totally customize your browser with add-ons.One of the great things about it is that you can set it up so your “Home” [...]
San Juan Day
Posted on June 24, 2007 - Filed Under Fun | Leave a Comment
Guatemala is a very Catholic country, so the towns here always have a patron saint. Today is the celebration of San Juan (St. John). I am not Catholic, so I don´t really understand all this stuff, Corpus Cristi and all, but it is fun to have the whole town celebrating!
There have been vendors and rides [...]
The Deliberate Tantrum
Posted on June 23, 2007 - Filed Under Kids | Leave a Comment
Sometimes, kids break into tears and throw themselves down in a fit of desperation over not getting their own way.
Then there is the deliberate tantrum. Dorian had one of these today. It all began because I wouldn´t let him trot off to drive his aunts crazy.
Instead of bursting into tears and screaming “MAMA!” [...]

I recently earned my very first money on my At Home Mom blog. It was only $6.50, but I´m still thrilled.
So, today, on our shopping trip, I decided to spend that money on a luxury item for myself. I bought Herbal Essences shampoo. I used to use it all the time in Canada and [...]

Today, Dante stayed with his tia, Diana, while I took Dorian into Antigua to buy diapers. It was really the first time we have done anything together, just the two of us, since I was about 6 months pregnant with Dante!
The trip was a huge success! I was worried that he was going to be [...]

I just discovered that my name was drawn as the winner in the Weary Parent Writing Contest!
This is a very exciting event for me because I never win. I could be one of two people in a draw and still not have my name picked, so winning this one is a big deal! [...]
One Day Down, Three to Go

Irving left yesterday for a 4 day music tour with his band, La Banda Vega. They are coming back Sunday night, so I´m alone with the kids until then! Gulp.
The first day wasn´t too bad. Dorian figured out how to climb down the steps to our room yesterday, so he is now able to escape. [...]

It is the rainy season here in Guatemala and normally we get a bit of sun in the morning and heaps of rain in the afternoon and all night.

Ok, I charged the batteries and had Irving take a couple of photos before he left. Here they are, the Buff Sister Contest before photos.
I plan to lose 40 lbs by December and get all those flabby spots toned up.
