13 Things That Make My Heart Sing
Posted on January 24, 2008 - Filed Under 13 Things | 4 Comments
I haven´t been able to do Wordless Wednesday because I´m still on my brother-in-law´s computer and it has very limited space for downloading photos, so I´m going to try and get back into Thursday Thirteen. To bring the mood up a bit, I´m going with 13 things that make my heart sing.
1. Waking [...]
Multi-tasking to the Nth Degree
Posted on January 23, 2008 - Filed Under Personal | 4 Comments
Lately, I´ve been kind of overloading myself. It came about by accident. We needed more money to build the bathroom, so I took on more ghostwriting jobs. Then a few more and finally, a couple more. Then a company that I write for contacted me, asking me to take on some articles. The pay [...]
Can I Have a Tiss, Please?
Posted on January 21, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 3 Comments
I´m very adament that my boys give me kisses and I have no plans of ever letting them stop. Dorian is already onto the whole, “awww, Mom!” stage of kissing, but he will still give me one whenever he leaves the house and occasionally when I ask for a kiss.
Dante picked up on the whole [...]
How Hard Can It Be to Buy a Kitchen Table?
Posted on January 20, 2008 - Filed Under Mom Stuff | 3 Comments
Apparently, harder than I thought. We are going on 3 years now without a table. The first 2.5 years were mainly because we didn´t have a house to put the table in . . . just our bedroom which was also our living room/dining room/rec room/kitchen.
Now, we have a place to put the table and [...]
Rest In Peace

Last night, I was working happily away and suddenly . . . blick . . . my monitor went black. The power light flashed, but nothing. So I called my in-home computer tech, Irving and he started checking things out.
Two hours later, he´d ruled out a number of issues, but the computer still wasn´t working. [...]
No Potty Training in Sight
Posted on January 18, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 1 Comment
Since we don´t have a bathroom, we´ve been holding off on potty training Dorian. It would be tough to get a toddler to the bathroom at my inlaws in time! But he has a pretty good idea what it´s all about, knows the words “pee” and “popo” and will tell us when he needs to [...]
Dante´s Blogging Debut
Posted on January 17, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 4 Comments
Dante has been tagged by Pristine from Sandier Pastures (also an expat kid!) to do a meme revealing 8 random things about himself. I´ll translate the drool language so everyone can understand.
Hi, I´m Dante Luca, Dorian´s little brother, I´m a whole 8 months old! I can´t believe someone tagged me instead of my [...]

My Little Escape Artist
Posted on January 15, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 3 Comments
Dante is growing up. His latest obsession is with the floor. He wants to be there all the time.
We used to put him in his bouncy seat, but he started to lean over so much that he´d tip out and just his butt would still be in the chair, held there by the safety straps, [...]
Construction Machines and Other Big Words
Posted on January 12, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 3 Comments
Dorian is obsessed with construction machines. He´s been obsessed with all things vehicular for quite some time now, but at the moment, trains (namely Thomas) and construction machines are his life. He literally thinks about them 24-7. I know this because I have been woken up at midnight by shouts of “Quiero Thomas!” (I want [...]
