Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveller, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it […]
Fragmented Fridays
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!
People, I don’t get out much. I have a toddler and an infant in the prime of her mother-sucking days. For me getting out means I took the garbage out instead of letting my husband do it. A few days ago, in honor of my 40th birthday Unknown Papi and I decided it was time […]

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 […]
