Every once in awhile I like to get my FaceBook on. I’m not on it much, but it’s nice to check in and see what folks are up to and kid around. I checked in this week and had the following exchange Friend’s Update: feeling that classic “day after the rapture letdown” letdown. Sunday at […]
A Conversation
Unknown Papi: Do you know where my Flip camera is? Unknown Mami: (grouchy because she doesn’t feel like looking for it even though she was the last one to use it) I don’t know. Unknown Papi: So it’s lost again? Unknown Mami: No, it’s probably on my dresser. (matter of factly) I don’t lose things. […]
How Blogger Broke my Heart
Dear Blogger, You are breaking my heart. Okay, maybe I’m being a little extreme. Perhaps, my heart isn’t broken. You are however, bumming me out. A few days ago or a week ago or who can remember, you broke for what seems like an eternity. This week you’ve been acting funny, too. I know what […]
Predictable
Some endings are just so predictable. Take this one for example… Recent conversation with Put Pie Put Pie: Mahmah, whe goin? Unknown Mami: We’re going in the big car to pick up Papi and then we are going to a BBQ. Put Pie: (holding a toy ladybug with wheels in her hands) Me take dis? […]
Guess what? Women are Funny!

The Birthday Conversation
It’s my birthday! I am 40 years old today. To celebrate I thought I would write a letter to my 10 year old self, but then I changed my mind because hindsight is 20/20 and I wouldn’t really advise myself to do anything different. Instead I’ve decided to dig deep inside myself and let the […]
Nostalgia for the Present
You see this picture… It is not the best picture in the world, but I love it. I love it because it shows the 3 people that I love most in this world traveling as one. It makes my heart fill with joy and nostalgia for the present because right now we are this compact […]
On Cheating and Being Cheated On
Uncomfortable silence…. pause… st…utter… clearing of throat… I’m blushing, but you can’t tell from my writing or maybe you can. I want to write about cheating. It’s on my mind because of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. After 25 years of marriage they announced that they are separating. Then we find out that as a […]
Bay to Breakers 2011
San Francisco hosted the centennial Bay to Breakers this year on Sunday, May 15. Bay to Breakers is a 12k footrace that goes from the Embarcadero (bay) to Ocean Beach (breakers). There are some serious runners, but really the majority of the participants (55,000 registered and who knows how many unofficial tagalongs) are not there […]
