Week 28

July 10
Another picture of me. It was very late and I was tired. I look pretty much the same as I always do.

July 11
This is the picture for July on my Penguins calendar. It makes me smile every time I look at it...crazy rock star penguin.

July 12
It was a very rainy day! Thankfully, when I was ready to go home, it had stopped. Everything was wet and it was very humid. There were still some wispy clouds in the trees (you can barely see them).

July 13
The cat has decided this is her new favorite spot. Right under the TV, on the corner of the pillow. She is a silly cat!

July 14
The moon was so big and bright and the clouds were moving so fast. I tried to capture it with a picture, but it didn't really work. Pictures make the moon look small, but that's not what it looked like when we were standing outside. You'll just have to use your imagination as you look at this picture...or get your face really close to your computer screen to feel how big the moon was.

July 15
We finally took Ubi to the vet. His skin infection is not getting better and we tried to buy some antibiotics for him, but we needed a prescription. So, the vet gave us the prescription and gave him a medicated bath (which I'm sure he hated because he hates baths). He also hates standing on the big metal scale...so it took a lot of coaxing and treats to get him to comply.

July 16
Another wonderful Saturday morning with pancakes. And one special chocolate-chip pancake for me! I love waking up and eating pancakes on a lazy Saturday...there's nothing better!

Week 12

March 20
We went to Taco Bell because we like it. They always ask for your name before they take your order. Bill and I get tired of spelling out our names for them in Spanish (because they are so difficult), so we use "easier" names. Bill uses "Aaron" because we thought it was easier for Spanish speakers - and it's his middle name. Apparently, it's not that easy either! They have NEVER spelled it right at Taco Bell...don't they watch Food Network and see Aaron Sanchez obsess about his name? I guess not. We have since decided Bill should use "Jose" or "Pablo" because it would be impossible for them to get those names wrong...right?

March 21
I made dinner and it was super scrumptious. We had fried rice with diced ham and stir-fried teriyaki vegetables. It was almost a healthy meal...and really, really tasty!March 22
We got a surprise day off of work because a former vice-president of Panama died and it was declared a national day of mourning. I spent the day sleeping in and playing games with my friends. It was so much fun! And - I actually one the game for once...that makes it even more fun! Yay! March 23
I got a cookbook for Christmas from my brother and sister-in-law: Top Secret Restaurant Recipes 2. It has all kinds of famous restaurant recipes and I finally used it to make Cheddar Bay Biscuits, like the ones from Red Lobster. I was happy because the recipe wasn't too difficult and the biscuits were really good. I think I made them too big, so next time I'll use a smaller scoop, but they were very tasty. I LOVE this cookbook and look forward to using it a LOT! March 24
BEFORE: I'm planning to get my hair cut so I took a picture to show how long it was. Not the longest it's been, but long enough to be annoying. I was ready for something different.March 25
AFTER: here is my short haircut. This is the shortest my hair has been in over 10 years. I'm still getting used to it. It's kind of funny, but I think I like it. At least I don't hate it!March 26
Dry season is officially over...I think. It started pouring today...raining so hard you couldn't see across the street. It's hard to take a picture that captures just how hard it was raining, but I tried. After about an hour, the rain suddenly stopped.
