Ok, I`m not really famous, but I did recently get invited to become a regular poster (twice a month) on Craft Tutorials. How cool is that? I feel like one of those “other” bloggers who are always bragging about their guest posts.

On my immune system, that is. I am starting to wonder if I`ll ever get better! First, the flu, which was definitely the worst I`ve ever had in my life. Then before I was even over the aches and pains, my digestive system decided to go haywire and now . . . well, now I [...]

Before I had kids, back when I lived in Antigua, I went to the gym every day, except Sundays, when it was closed (since this is a Catholic country and all). Originally, I made a pact with a roommate of mine who was super scrawny and wanted to build some muscle. I wanted to lose [...]

Here in Guatemala, today is Independence Day. It`s huge. Schools practice all year for this day and their bands, all beautifully uniformed, are marching through the streets of Antigua today.

Found this here.
1. Do you draw conclusions about what a person might look/act like in real life because of their photos posted on their blogs? Maybe . . . depends on the photos.
2. Choose 5 online friends you want to meet in person. And tell us why each one of them.
