Too Close for Comfort

This morning, something very bad happened in the jungle above us. We live in the very upper reaches of our pueblo and just a block or so above us, the narrow street turns into a trail that winds up into the nispero orchards and jungle.
We heard that something had happened about noon. There were conflicting [...]
Just Like Dorian

Dante wants to do everything Dorian does now. That includes eating, playing with cars, sitting up and even going outside. Unfortunately, he is only five months old.
Dorian is quite willing to share his food. Just this morning, Irving had the boys on the bed and Dorian was eating some bread. When Dante reached for it, [...]

To see my original list, go here. If you are crafty, please see the end of this post!
I´m actually buckling down and getting started on my Christmas projects. Yay! Since I usually feel guilty for not actually working (i.e. writing), I´ve devised a sneaky plan. When I sit down to watch television, I take out [...]

13 Business I Have Tried
Posted on October 17, 2007 - Filed Under 13 Things | 2 Comments
Today´s list isn´t quite so positive. But I have to admit that every business I have attempted has taught me something. Some of them failed dismally, others just broke even or I lost interest in them.
1. Lemonade/Cookie Stand. My sisters and I did this when we were fairly young. It was hot, thankless work, but [...]

I got an email from my friend in Australia today. In it she said, “I really dont know how you have time for Christmas crafts etc. I dont have time for anything. You must be organised.”

Dorian has hit a new phase . . . the I-wanna-be-naked-24-7 phase. It´s so fun. Especially in a country where people consider you a terrible mother if your child isn´t bundled for the Arctic every time he goes outside . . . even if it´s sunny.
The weirdest thing is that he likes to be naked [...]
