How I’d Teach My Kid to Drive
This is another totally random thought process I do – when I drive, I randomly think of driving tips I’d give my imaginary teenage child as they learn to drive. I know, I’m crazy, so what’s your point? And no, I am not the world’s greatest driver. I have been in accidents, both my fault […]
Viva Las Vegas
As I pack for yet another trip, I am reminded that I needed to publish my post on Las Vegas… so here it is! Less than a week after getting back from Chicago I was re-packing my bags & heading the other direction to Las Vegas. This trip was for my other “job” since I […]
Quick Business Trip to Chicago
What a busy month – I have plans every weekend and often during the week till literally June. It started with a quick 2-day business trip to Chicago back in mid April and will continue until I get back from my trip to Cuba at the beginning of June. I did manage to shoot a […]
Review: Mockingjay
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins My rating: 2 of 5 stars So disappointed in how the trilogy gets wrapped up. And I am not talking about what happens to the characters but in the writing and in the *lack* of character development for Katniss. This 3rd book drags on – I’d check how far along I […]
Review: Catching Fire
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins My rating: 4 of 5 stars OK, so I didn’t see it coming and the book was better than I thought it would be. A little more action and more interaction with other characters, a little less introspection on Katniss’ part. Still a hurried ending though… Enjoyed the new characters. […]
Review: The Hunger Games
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins My rating: 4 of 5 stars So I jumped on the bandwagon and read the book (yay for lendable books on the Kindle!). Kenny had read it and so many of my friends had done so too. They said it was a quick read and I wanted to read […]
Review: The Oblivion Society
The Oblivion Society by Marcus Alexander Hart My rating: 2 of 5 stars So… I wanted to like this book more than I did. Interesting story line, new author… but it had too many flaws that I could not overlook in the long run. Spoilers ahead… First of all – the character Trent was more […]
2012 Travel – Lots of Variety
I love to travel, even if it’s for work (since I don’t travel for work often enough to make me hate it)… and I’m thrilled to see so many upcoming trips on my calendar, all taking place between April & August: > Chicago, mid April – Social Medias Strategies Summit > Las Vegas, end of […]
Getting back to my Cuban roots…
Over the weekend, I booked my trip to Cuba. To Havana (or Habana, the correct spelling) to be specific. I still have family there and can legally visit (my parents left the island in 1968 – and although my sister was born there, I was born in the US, here in Houston). I have wanted […]
find me here too
Thirty-nine.
Still, I feel good starting my 39th year. That outbreak on my chin I blogged about right before this one has indeed responded to the antibiotics and has cleared up. I have stayed on track with my diet and am down almost 12 lbs. I actually like my haircut nowadays (it’s the little things, I know), work is going well and I really like the people in the department I work in. Kenny and I are doing great, the pups are happy and healthy and I look forward toward 2013. I am already thinking of some vacation destinations – an Alaskan cruise maybe for our 15th wedding anniversary?
The upcoming holidays will be spent quietly as well. Christmas cards went out today, 99% of my holiday shopping is done and I am looking forward to the days off between Christmas and New Year’s.
Thanks to all of my friends who make me a better person and for being part of my life. I can’t wait to spend my 39th year with all of you!
