What a great way to end Thing-a-day (see my last post above)! It was fun while it lasted, but now I have to update my own blog 
This one is dedicated to Maria Eugenia Castellanos Cruz. Most everything I know came from mi Mama!
Grasping at straws to stay in the thing-a-day game, I have to submit this blog post that I wrote to my mom thanking her for the Valentine with the rat on it. I’ve been preoccupied with Chinese New Year this year, which was on February 7th, and my mom found this cute rodent Valentine for us. My mom, she’s very thoughtful that way.
A quick, ad-libbed portrait of my family, rendered in black Sharpie for the amusement and distraction of a whiny, crabby, tired two-year-old. I was attempting to juggle the oranges when Lisa suggested I draw faces on them. Three is the magic number, so…
The kid orange looks nothing at all like Tenzin, but mine is pretty accurate. Mom’s is recognizable, I suppose.
I followed directions and made a pie. I had a large amount of apples lying around and something delicious needed to be done with them.
Here’s the recipe on my blog: http://uberjewelry.blogspot.com/
I work 2 days on my jewelry and the other days I stay home with my 3-year-old.
Today is one of the stay-at-home days. And it’s raining. It’s really hard to find new things to do with him, but when we got a 3 boxes of groceries delivered I knew just what we’d do.
I allowed myself fifteen minutes of conversation with my Mom. She is awesome! Usually, I am so tired by the time I get home that I barely have a capacity to speak. Yesterday was different! And I intend to keep it daily. Have a feeling that it could invite many positive changes into my life. I often think that people no longer communicate with one another because of a simple neglect of telling loved one about their day. As simple as that!
