My little brother got into outer space and stuff so my step-mom bought him a place mat with all the planets on it. When I first saw it, I was upset, because it was newer and so Pluto wasn’t labeled. I was about to say something when I noticed something…

Pluto is there.

The artist remembered Pluto.

Guys…

The artist drew Pluto crying.

It’s TMI Tuesday! But this isn’t too TMI, I guess.

I don’t like hairy men.

I’m talking hairy to the point where I could shave him down and make Groucho Marx eyebrows and mustaches.

All that hair scares me. I think I’d get rug burn while we make out or something. -shiver-

So, if you’re thinking of asking me out, have a good shave first.

Frankie and I went for a nice ride with my bike gang last night for the first time in 2 months.

I forget how old he is sometimes (27 years old) since he still rides really well.

I have been to France and Italy. Both are nothing when compared to you.

I’ve been out of touch for a few days because I STARTED A NEW NOVEL and I’m so excited about it. It’s my new baby and I’m on page 5 now.

I’m taking a novel writing class next semester, so I thought I’d get a headstart on things. I love my main character already.

Now I’m off to keep typing.

This is genius!

Anyone want to make me this cake for my 21st birthday? :)

Echo & the Bunnymen - Silver

I went to the bank today and this was playing (they must’ve added background music) over the intercom. So, I danced in my place in line and sang along.

How often is it that you hear Echo & the Bunnymen at your local bank anyway? :)

1. She’s trilingual! She is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, and English.

2. She’s smart! When she came to the USA in the late 1960s, she was placed ahead because of her reading skills. She started 5th grade at the young age of 9.

3. She’s tough! My mom grew up in the Bronx and in parts of New Jersey. She once swung a mean boy over her head and threw him across the classroom.

4. She’s psychic! Well, not professionally, but she can tell what I’m thinking just by looking at me and it’s kinda scary.

5. She’s a cancer survivor! She had colon cancer 12 years ago and refused chemotherapy. Doctors still scratch their heads about how she didn’t get any chemo and lived.

6. She’s a teacher! She studied education at the University of Loja (in Ecuador) and graduated summa cum laude.

7. She’s a writer! She briefly worked writing health articles for a Christian magazine in the 1990s. She has written several poems, though I’m not sure if any are published.

8. She’s hot! She doesn’t think she is anymore, but she’s wrong. When she was around my age, she was asked out on a daily basis. Out of all of them, the only one she really liked was my dad.

9. She’s funny! My mom’s jokes may be corny, but they’re still hilarious. She has inspired all of the humor in my short stories/novels (some of the jokes are stolen from her).

10. She’s a dancer! She’s got moves in salsa, merengue, and even belly dancing.

The most recent picture of us together :)

Happy Mother’s Day
