Baby Talk »

—You know? I don’t think I’m pregnant, but I should not be having any alcohol or sushi any more… I mean: WHAT IF I was pregnant, and I just had a beer last night?
—Ok… But you said that you don’ think…
—I know… But I should be getting my period tomorrow and I still haven’t […]

The Purpose of Life »

Without much research, I dare to say that when it comes to answering the existential question of the purpose of one’s life, there are four kinds of people:

Those that don’t care. Or better yet: Don’t think there is one. For them there is only one life, and after that there’s nothing. Therefore, living this life […]

Luz and Lucila »

Lorelle’s latest blogging challenge is to write about your hobbie. While I don’t intend to give you all the nitty gritty about the many activities I enjoy doing with my free time, this topic ties nicely with a subject I’ve been wanting to write about for some time now: This post is about two special […]

One Second »

It only takes a second or less to have your life dramatically changed, doesn’t it?
Monday night, at about 8 pm the phone rang… English being my second language, I still have a hard time with the beginning words of strangers on the phone, so I didn’t really understand who this person was, but he was […]

It’s Time! »

I hope this is not received as an […]

A Mother’s Curse »

I googled 666, and sure thing it’s called “the number of the beast”. Scared, because every 666 link in Google has a devilish title, and I […]

Cuchita Center »

My mom told me this as a big secret, so shhhhh.. Don’t tell anyone…
She recently discovered that her cable T.V. account had accrued 3000 “stars”, a fortune she could use to get any pay-per-view movies. She checked the movie listings and found this cool and intriguing movie called “Los Cinco Sentidos” (The Five Senses). The […]

Maternal Wishes Still Not Kicking In »

Not yet. I do know some day I will want to have had children. So does Joey. But I’ve just never been the kind of woman that dreams of being a mom. I like babies and children… Sure… (when they are well behaved). But I’ve never seriously pictured myself with one living in my house. […]
