Now, wasn't that interesting?

I'm terza rima, and I talk and smile. Where others lock their rhymes and thoughts away I let mine out, and chatter all the while. I'm rarely on my own - a wasted day Is any day that's spent without a friend, With nothing much to do or hear or say. I like to be with people, and depend On company for being entertained; Which seems a good solution, in the end. What Poetry Form Are You?

Whatever...

What's Your Celebrity Baby Name?

Interesting Anyway...

I'm a Lamborghini Murcielago!

You're not subtle, but you don't want to be. Fast, loud, and dramatic, you want people to notice you, and then get out of the way. In a world full of sheep, you're a raging bull.

I Miss Easter!

I was just commenting on someone's blog that Easter is so different in all the countries... This is the one holiday that I really miss the U.S.! Here there are no Easter bunnies, chocolate ones either (actually there are, but it's just not the same), neither do we color eggs. It is not customary to buy new Easter clothes or bonnets. Families do gather, to GO TO THE BEACH. But hey, that seems to be what Venezuelans do for all holidays! Here in Caracas, they talk about visiting "the seven temples." Basically, I think this means that during the "Holy Week", you are to visit the seven cathedrals here in Caracas. Always during Semana Santa, the Baptist men have a camp, so we ladies have "alone" weeks. I'm glad that they have their camp, I just think it would be nice to spend it with Matt sometime. Oh well...HAPPY EASTER!

Cafe!!!!

Mocha Frappuccino

Hyper and driven, you'll take your caffeine any way you can get it. Frappuccinos are good, but you'd probably chew coffee beans in a crunch!

Happy Birthday to You...

Today is my daughter Morgan's 13th birthday! Yes, 13 years ago today, she was born in Clinica Santa Ana in Lima, Peru. Matt and I were thrilled to have our little girl and so was big brother Ethan. So, as of today, I have 2 teenagers, 2 preschoolers, and a great 11 year-old right in the middle! Anyway, about Morgan...She is a social person, loves people. She also loves dogs, cats, hamsters, and I imagine anything "pet". She is a very nice person to have around...talks some, but not too much. She is a great artist, has a very nice voice, and she plays the guitar too. May God continue to bless my sweet girl, who is growing up way too fast for my liking!
