Christmas is almost here!

December 22nd 2008 by cybertoad in domestic, general, images, me, re-caps 1

The past few weeks have been busy as the holiday approaches! We’ve been busy with various events, big & small but the two more notable have been the snow that fell in Houston on December 10th and my birthday on the 13th (which included our annual holiday party).
The “blizzard” we had was shirt-lived but fun! [...]

Giving Thanks

November 25th 2008 by cybertoad in images, me 2

As the Thanksgiving holidays approach and I thought about what to post here on my newly re-vamped blog, I decided to write a post on why I am thankful that will also fill you in on what’s been going on the past few months.
I am thankful for…
My job: I have seen several friends laid off [...]

Two weeks into 2008!

January 10th 2008 by cybertoad in diet, general, me 4

We are already mostly done with the second week of 2008 and I’ve battled a cold already. I typically do not get sick – or hardly do but I have been on-and-off under the weather for the past few weeks. I finally feel like I am over the hump though and feel that I am [...]

Morphing into Gloria Estefan

December 6th 2007 by cybertoad in fun stuff, me 3

Not one of my most glamours shots (and kind of an old shot, from 2002 when we were in London) but one of the only shots I have that is straight on. I was happily surprised to see how well I morphed into Gloria Estefan, a fellow Cuban! What do you think?

Do Kenny & I have paranormal powers?

October 19th 2007 by cybertoad in general, me 9

So both Kenny and I have a tendency to turn off street lights (most often those sodium & mercury lights). Yep. It happens often enough that we both comment on it. I have been doing this all my life and Kenny says he has too. It’s weird and we can’t explain it. We simply drive [...]

My horoscope is actually right for once?

October 3rd 2007 by cybertoad in me 2

So I happened to glance at my horoscope over at my Facebook profile and it says:
Sagittarius: You’re finally going to get what you deserve – payback from all that hard work. But that doesn’t mean you can stop working!
Huh. I guess my recent raise, good review at work and my paid photography gigs could be [...]

My first photo exhibit!

September 7th 2007 by cybertoad in fresh photos, me 4

As Christine would say… squeeeee! Tomorrow night is the opening reception for the Houstonist’s first photo exhibit. It is titled 600 sq mi: Photos from Houston! To summarize, the show is “a juried exhibition of photographs from Houston, from Main Street to the coastal prairie and everything in between. The photos show what makes Houston [...]

Mom’s Cataract Surgery

September 5th 2007 by cybertoad in me 1

My Mom, who turns 69 next month, was recently declared legally blind when she finally got herself down to the ophthalmologist for new glasses. No worries though, the doctor says it can be taken care of with routine cataract surgery so she is having the worse eye done first thing Thursday morning. I will [...]

Random thoughts from a recent grocery shopping excursion…

August 27th 2007 by cybertoad in me 4

> I always buy bananas in 3s. I will break a bunch up but won’t buy any more or any less. Don’t know why, I just do. {insert Monty Python’s Holy Hand Grenade joke here}
> I buy Gala or Braeburn apples only.
> I prefer red grapes to green, seedless of course!
> Yes, I still buy [...]
