It`s An All Out Attack
Posted on September 19, 2008 - Filed Under Kids, Personal | 2 Comments
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 [...]
No More Procrastination for Me
Posted on September 16, 2008 - Filed Under Personal | 5 Comments
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 [...]
September 15 is Independence Day!

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. Concerts, plays and the lighting of the torch are all going on in the Parque Central. And I`m not there to see it.
You [...]
Phone Weirdness
Posted on September 8, 2008 - Filed Under Personal | 1 Comment
I have a confession to make. I detest phones. I mean, REALLY detest them. To the point of avoiding phone calls. But something has happened that makes me think maybe I`m being totally ridiculous.
See, I applied for a writing job ages ago. They pay $20 for a short article which is pretty good and accepted [...]
If Toddlers Were Puppies
Posted on September 7, 2008 - Filed Under Kids, Mom Stuff, Personal | 5 Comments
With the addition of little Tasha to the family, I`ve found myself running around like mad, teaching the puppy not to come in the house, not to whine, to come on command, etc. It`s a lot of work. She cries at night, missing her furry siblings and wanting to play rather than sleep and during [...]
Meet Tasha

The newest addition to our family, Tasha:
I know, I`ve said a million times that I don`t want another dog. And I didn`t. I`m still not so sure about this cute little gal, but yesterday, Irving and I hit the market to get some small things. There was a couple selling these adorable fuzzballs, Siberian huskies. [...]

I`ve decided to get serious about making money and having fun on Squidoo, so I`ve joined up with the 60 Day Challenge, to make 60 lenses (that`s a webpage on Squidoo) in 60 Days and hopefully qualify to be a Giant Squid.
So far, so good. Every day, I`ve been doing up one new lens and [...]

What Is Going On At Night?!
Posted on August 29, 2008 - Filed Under Personal | 2 Comments
I once read this horror story about a bunch of people in a town who were sleepwalking and they would kill and eat raw animals when they were asleep. Of course, being a horror story, some of them became cannibals. But they didn`t know. They would wake up with all kinds of marks on their [...]
Before and After the Big Clean

I actually did this post before and Wordpress ate it, which is really annoying. For those of you who haven`t yet updated to 2.6 in Wordpress, I advise that you don`t! It messes stuff up, so it`s better to wait for a fix.
Ok, on to the pictures . . . most of you know that [...]
