Fragmented Fridays

Facebook funny

Sometimes I crack myself up. A friend on FaceBook complained that she got sexually harassed by a guy on there, I responded… Last week I go to the library with my two kids for storytime and as I’m settling in and the librarian starts addressing the kids I hear music playing and I’m thinking… WTF?!

Bear Slippers

I signed Put Pie, my three-year-old, up for a dance class. Being a lover of footwear, the very first thing she asked was what kind of shoes would she be wearing. I told her that she would be taking the class in her bare feet. Excitedly she ran to her room and came back wearing [...]

by Claudya Martinez January 10, 2012

I picked words that we used regularly like: more, eat, milk, dog, flower, tree, bird, socks, and shoes. The very first sign that she did was [...]

Fragmented Fridays

by Claudya Martinez January 6, 2012

I’ve been blogging for almost 3 years now and I still have no idea what I’m doing. There are times when I meticulously work on a post or write about something that I think people will be interested in and those posts get minimal attention. Then other times I just dash something off and those [...]

Shit White Girls Say…to Mexican Girls

by Claudya Martinez January 5, 2012

Have you seen, Shit White Girls Say…to Black Girls? If you haven’t, give it a look-see… Carla from all of me…now posted this video on FaceBook and suggested someone do the Latina version.

They Dropped the P Bomb on 2 Broke Girls

Liquid rendered pork fat

Do not look away in horror, you are about to see a graphic image of rendered pork fat in liquid form! Rendered pork fat or lard is good for baking or frying; it makes for excellent flour tortillas, refried beans and tamales; and if you are afraid that it is horribly bad for you, think [...]
