Cuban Word of the Day

I have been taking a hiatus to get myself well again from being sick for the first part of this year. (Thank you, Vicks VaPoRub for your constant support.)

I'm 100% better and I'm ready to jump back into blog-world. I had a feeling-sorry-for-myself-emotionally-fragile moment of "I wonder if anyone even remembers me?"

This morning I wake up to this in my Facebook news feed, which was like a shot of adrenaline.

Wait! Is that my face? Shut. UP. I feel sooo accidentally cool!

Cuban word of the day

I may or may not have shed a quick tear. Gracias, Wassup En LA? I'm back. Pastelitos and all.

Also, here's the link for my Homemade Pastelitos de Guayaba. And here's the link to Wassup En LA?'s Facebook Page.  You must "like" them because you will LOVE them. Amen.

"Cogelo con Takerisi" Im so fussy. I've pretty much been sick since the beginning of the year with an old-school-garden-variety-sneezy-sniffly cold that has just been more of a nuisance than anything else. Well, it's made me feel a bit lazy, too, but that's not important right now. Until last week. That's when I somehow turned a corner and found myself deep in the fever-chills-deep-chest-rattling cough territory. And my little blue tub of Vicks VapoRub (phonetically, in your best Cuban accent, "BI-BAH-POH-ROO") was not enough to ward off the evil eye of the sinus infection/bronchitis/pneumonia that descended on me quicker than you could say, "Ay, Dios mio." It was time to bring in The Big Guns. So I'm blogging today from my my comfy bed, wrapped in a cloud of Warm VapoRub Steam. (Yes, that's exactly as soothing as it sounds. Sadly, they're not sponsoring this post.) If I follow doctor's orders and rest...

Life Without Pretending When I started writing over-sharing on this blog six years ago, I had made the decision that I didn't want to ever complain. (I follow that rule in my real life, too, but that's not important right now.) I seriously have so much to be grateful for, and I swear I do lead a charmed life. But like everyone else, I go through a rough patch now and then. Many of those things I've chosen not to write about, but now I'm wondering if you (my readers) wouldn't benefit more from my honesty. Or at least a good explanation for why I have been writing intermittently... When I wrote about my struggle with Fibromyalgia I was humbled by your tremendous response and how many of you identified with me. I'm so grateful. This has made me feel more brave in sharing what's happening right now. A few weeks back, just...
