We are back!
Phew! I am absolutely exhausted! I know today is the day of rest for Blog 365, but I definitely have some catching up to do.
We had a great trip and I absolutely enjoyed seeing my family up in sunny California! They are amazing and utterly inspiring. The kids up there are so close and call and see […]
San Diego Bound
Yes, I know, I know. This was a “funeral trip”, but we did manage to fit fun in previously. I do not take death lightly, but as Tio Mark and Tia Eve often say before they serve at a funeral service, “You can’t have a funeral without ‘fun’!” I do believe death is both a […]

Today, we lazed about; nothing exciting. My cousin Paul and his 8 year old daughter Journey were going to take us back to Disneyland, but it was another rainy, icky morning, so I decided against it. I know, I am drag. But Elijah’s congestion was getting worse, I was exhausted, Papa was exhausted and I […]

Today was Elijah’s first trip to Disneyland. I think, it’s just a hunch, but I think I was a bit more excited than he was Our cousins Richard, Paul, Journey, Gabriel, Teri, and Nicholas were our guides.
It was bit of an icky day. A tad humid (not as much as San Antonio), raining, and […]
L.A or Bust

or something like that… At least that’s what the e-mail invite said.
Tonight, the social committee at Fran’s work hosted a lunar eclipse party. We went, ate the pizza, enjoyed the company and then made our way out to dark soccer fields. And we saw… nothing! There were waaaay too many clouds in the sky. Instead, […]
Ask Yourself
Tonight I refer back to Dr. Gregory Stock’s The Book of Questions. Fran randomly picked number 57.
Question 57: Would you be willing to give up sex for one year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you have now?
In a heartbeat, yes! My brain is constantly going. I […]
Fijaou
Feeling simply exhausted! So I leave you with this amazing black bean recipe that I made back in high school. (For our World Geography class, we got extra credit by making a recipe from the region we were studying. I obtained this recipe from one of my dad’s work associates who was from India.) I made them […]

Fran often comments that I exaggerate. In fact, my brother-in-law will say the same thing of my sister. If you ask us something and we aren’t exactly sure, we can pull it off like it’s nobody’s business! We would never admit that we didn’t know. So whenever the two of us are recalling a story, […]
Posted by frangela on February 16th, 2008 under Random | 1 Comment »Thursday Thirteen
I was recently inspired by Jenn’s list of favorite restaurants to start up Thursday Thirteen. So for my first, I shall follow suit!
Shogun Japanese Sushi Bar and Steakhouse
Food and entertainment! Although after eating here for over a decade, it’s the same corny jokes. But the garlic noodles and veggies are simply delish!
Panera
A recent place I […]
My 100
I have been reading people’s lists of 100 random facts about themselves and I am hooked! The last person I read was Sweetisu. I love taking a look into other people’s lives. I love people-watching and this is the best way to do it on-line! Fran calls me a stalker. I don’t stalk! Don’t worry! I […]

Tonight our alma mater, St. Mary’s University, hosted Hillary Clinton. We were there!
We absolutely love our alma mater and the opportunities it gives to its surroundings. Of course, this created a big hoop-la by our archbishop. People were asking, “How can a Catholic university host a pro-choice individual?”
Where do I stand in all this? […]
Support Beauty in Nature
I am a day late! Sarcastic Mom’s post two weeks ago called me to action! I think we live in a wonderful neighborhood: friendly neighbors, historic homes, a sense of community, nice family owned eateries, a nearby (man-made) lake with ducks and geese, oh the list goes on. However, I am absolutely disgusted with all the trash […]
Posted by frangela on February 12th, 2008 under Random, Health, Family, San Antonio | 2 Comments »Aisle E
Sometimes we joke when Elijah has a dirty diaper or after a super messy self-feeding (usually spaghetti), and walk or run through the house, chanting, “Clean up on Aisle E! I repeat! We have a clean up on Aisle E!” Elijah, appreciating our sense of humor, just cracks up!
It was about three weeks ago that […]
