http://simplestories.blogspot.com/2007/02/english-spelling-is-weird.html
This blog is a collection of true stories from everyday life. Stories that mark or color a day. They could take place anywhere, happening to anyone. Hundreds of stories just waiting to be told and remembered. (all stories ). Monday, February 12, 2007. English spelling is weird. On a window of a dirty building near Mt Pleasant street. A small note taped to the glass. It says "Please don't knock on may window". The spelling makes sense in Spanish. Posted by Just Looking at 7:15 PM. View my complete profile.

Translation, S'il Vous Plaît?: November 2011
http://translationsilvousplait.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
We spent New Year's in Perpignan, where it got up to 18 C (65 F). Monday, 14 November 2011. Testing, testing. 1,2,3. This is an attempt to write. I haven’t written for years.

I can be called responsible, I suppose, for a full-time, energetic family of four where I am supposed to be the wife/mother/lover/cook/cleaner. Born in Southern Cali...

On the last day, I spotted a wound in my mom's leg and asked her about it, and she said, "I didn't want to tell you. Lulu bit me the second day I was here." My reaction: WHAT? Since when does Lulu bite people? I had ...
