Posted on January 13, 2012 by la_florecita

I’ve never wanted to go on a cruise. I’ve backpacked through Europe on my own and developed a distaste for people who travel with tour groups or had set schedules. I thought cruises were for lazy Americans who were too … Continue reading →

Posted on November 15, 2011 by la_florecita

1. I realized this weekend that on my birthday, date + month + 2-digit year will always = my age. So while 11+11+11=33 is pretty fucking fantastic, it was pretty fucking fantastic last year, too when 11+11+10 equaled 32. And … Continue reading →

Posted on November 10, 2011 by la_florecita

One day when I was 9 or so, my great-grandma (Nannie) called me to tell me that she’d just figured out that on 11-11-11 I would be 11×3. I thought it was cool and stuff but 2011 sounded really far … Continue reading →

Sorry, no beige.

Posted on October 5, 2011 by la_florecita

I have to blog this now before I read any more super awesome tributes/articles and I decide I’m not worthy to add to the remembrance. You know how there are bumper stickers and t-shirts that say, “I’m not from Texas … Continue reading →

So basically, we’re not naming our daughter Brooklyn

Posted on July 21, 2011 by la_florecita

As I sit here with cramps and my heating pad, on my 7th Aleve, after 4 months of “trying,” I really feel like I’ve wasted a lot of money on birth control pills and condoms these past 5 years. [FYI … Continue reading →

The Social Network

Posted on June 6, 2011 by la_florecita

There’s a restaurant in my ‘hood that I drive by at least twice a day. The outside is stucco and hand painted with red and yellow triangles and it’s only open for lunch. It looks sketchy at best. I’d gone … Continue reading →

Posted on May 12, 2011 by la_florecita
