Kids watch too much TV these days

November 30, 2007

But to say I didn’t when I was a kid is a lie. I was a Nickelodeon junkie. Do you remember any of these?

It’s a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake part dos

November 15, 2007

Thanksgiving/birthday party (one of the many this year that apparently everything thinks I’m ok with) at work on Friday and I made a cake to go with the meal.

UIndy because obviously I work for UIndy, and the greyhounds because that’s our mascot.

The white cake is almond flavored, the icing under is cream cheese and the fondant is vanilla.  Yum.

telanovelas are strange

November 6, 2007

I’m staying the night with chata in the hospital tonght. her little brother was here earlier and I found myself in the precarious position of having to entertain a 6 year old child that I could not understand. somehow I mangled enough spanish to keep him quiet and busy. I took my palm and took pictures of him and let him draw on himself and showed him fotos de mis gatos y perra. my cousin is watching some spanish sitcom on univision right now and I’m pretty much lost. they have a monitor on her baby so I can hear really loud heartbeats until she moves away. maia sometimes flops around so fast that you can hear a whooshing sound like someone blowing on a microphone really loudly.I think I’m going to try to get some sleep while her other show is on. it looks weird. updates on babies periodically as permitted.
