My family is obsessed with the Fail Blog this week.

Here it is. I just look at the still photos as the videos would disturb me too much. Otherwise, we exchange info on facebook, work our blogs and listservs and real life jobs and jointly anticipate my niece's wedding in Guadalajara in October. I have begun a diet as we all will be photo'd in the newspaper and that gives me shivers. Yikes!! I found this African music station online and listen to it all day sometimes, dancing many times each day to lose more weight. I prefer the very first radio... Sign in to see full entry.

Mother's Day with new photos added.

A mother is someone who not only changes diapers, but changes seats with you at your favorite concert so that you can see better. She licks your ice cream cone and hands it back, three times. She sees you hit your brother and just looks at you in deep disappointment, letting that be your terrible punishment. HERE are the photos of our quiet afternoon. She brings home the bacon, fries it up in a pan, makes you wash the pan to develop life skills and shares the bacon sandwich with you because its... Sign in to see full entry.

Photo slide show to go with previous post...or just look at certain

photos, NOT in a 400 strong slide show. Slideshow here and since there are so many photos, set the slider for changing slide duration to one second each, k?? Oh, I just watched the show and it only goes a little ways into the 400, so nevermind. To see them all as a slide show, go to the album and then on the right side in a yellow box, select slide show option. Photo album here TAMAL FIESTA~ El Centro Cultural Sign in to see full entry.

Grandma got lost in a world of bailes indigenas at El Centro Cultural.

I will have a slide show up soon, God willing. I took 441 photos in the middle of helping to hostess and to manage and to clean and to secure and to entertain and to have fun myself at the TAMAL FIESTA at El Centro Cultural de las Americas in Tucson, Arizona, yesterday. When I arrived at 2 p.m. the garden was full of waving papel picado, breezes tossing the sheets of paper around above my head. Bright table cloths were being placed over white ones and small burro pinatas full of flowers were... Sign in to see full entry.

Swine Flu and the doses of Tamilflu being set aside

This is not a good story about Tamilflu's side effects and should be kept in mind when casually considering getting a dose of it as a simple prevention of your bad flu turning into a worse case of Swine Flu. Here Some brain changes have been documented. Sign in to see full entry.

Went to the Zoo with children, painted faces first.

I made a video of the day and added some happy music to it. Here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipy_Ugqm214 Youtube's default setting is HQ for viewing and it messes up regular photos, so click on the HQ button to lower the quality to normal and the photos come out pretty.

You know you live or you've lived in Mexico when...

-A wedding is at 8:00 p.m., you get there at 10:00 p.m. and nobody has arrived yet. -You will often have lunch and dinner at the same restaurant on the same day... without actually leaving -You believe a shot of tequila cures everything. -You have more prescription drugs in your toiletry bag than Dr Simi does and you don't have an actual prescription for a single one. -You bring along small cans of chiles when traveling to Europe. -Leaving the office at 5:00 p.m. means working a "half day"....

Uploaded a photo to an blog entry and it clicked as though accepted, but

the post never showed up and my computer crashed as it was deciding what to do with the photo. I could not even escape Blogit as my keyboard stopped working and all things stopped working. Afraid of Blogit now. Got the computer going again, but it took three hours. Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

When your immediate family has people from just about every race and religion and political belief, a world view becomes the only one open and available to you or your brain melts, your heart explodes and you develop a tic in one eye while you stutter about America First and Best and Only.It's a big and human being filled world out there. I'm only one temporary inhabitant of it.
