Bugigangas: Portrait of a Monster
http://jennainrio.blogspot.com/2013/01/portrait-of-monster.html
Writer, poet, shoe person, dabbler in all things creative. Monday, January 28, 2013. Portrait of a Monster. He cackles, throws his mouth open like a cave. Two stalagmites catching the light,. Four stalactites jaggering down. From the laughter den. He grabs for me, those paws. Every day more sure. He twists and giggles, looks askance,. Tells me in no uncertain terms that I am. Should I be flattered? My constrictor instincts surge,. I want to squeeze him. And swallow him whole. And wiggles away,.

Bugigangas: On Food, Waste and Roasting
http://jennainrio.blogspot.com/2013/01/on-food-waste-and-roasting.html
Writer, poet, shoe person, dabbler in all things creative. Wednesday, January 30, 2013. On Food, Waste and Roasting. Is it really surprising that the world wastes so much food? For several years now, I've tried to keep us as in-season as possible. It means cheaper vegetables, better quality and more creativity in the kitchen. Creativity always helps minimize wastefulness. Lunch today is roasted tomatoes and onions on homemade bread, some cheese on the side. Dinner is in the oven, a whole pumpkin I'll...

Bugigangas: Juggling
http://jennainrio.blogspot.com/2012/10/juggling.html
Writer, poet, shoe person, dabbler in all things creative. Thursday, October 25, 2012. Thanks to my critique group, that is changing. Especially now that I'm a mother, I need someone else to keep me accountable to write. I need the deadline of the writer's group hanging over my head. Between G's staccato naps and the ostinato thread of constant pain running through my days, I really need something exterior to motivate me. Did they ever come to any conclusion about what to do for your elbow/arm? Then agai...

Bugigangas: It's February?
http://jennainrio.blogspot.com/2013/02/its-february.html
Writer, poet, shoe person, dabbler in all things creative. Saturday, February 16, 2013. Where have my resolutions gone? Oh well, it doesn't matter much. The year never starts until after Carnaval. I'm abuzz with ideas but, as always, not much time to play with them. Especially when my little man wants me to play with him. I must have missed the memo.why didn't anyone tell me that the best way to relive your childhood is to just have a kid? Add in a nap schedule that doesn't really play nice with going ou...

Writer, poet, shoe person, dabbler in all things creative. Thursday, June 06, 2013. Oh dear. If I have any readers left at all at this point, they are more loyal than I'd be! I am no longer Jenna in Rio. That's the main reason it's been so silent over here. We had a whirlwind transfer and accomplished the impossible, namely, moving out of Rio in a month. It was a good thing, an expected thing, and it was absolutely exhausting! Glad the move is out of the way. Until then, happy summer! Why did you move?

Bugigangas: A little psalm for the week
http://jennainrio.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-little-one-is-napping.html
Writer, poet, shoe person, dabbler in all things creative. Sunday, January 13, 2013. A little psalm for the week. The little one is napping. I'll try to start off the new year right, not losing these precious cling-free moments to the never-ending list of blog posts and news articles instead of writing. Since today is Sunday, I'll share Slacktivist's. Which happens to coincide nicely with some of what I've been pondering since our trip to the Northern Hemisphere over the holidays. There's time to go into...

Bugigangas: Snippets
http://jennainrio.blogspot.com/2013/01/snippets.html
Writer, poet, shoe person, dabbler in all things creative. Thursday, January 24, 2013. A friend turned me on to Lou Beach. And of course, besides loving the stories, I thought "what a great way to encourage myself to write when the little man is hogging all my time.". So plagiarizing his original idea, here's installment number one:. Mom- NOT a stretch of the truth. you added a little goat milk again and again until it barely had cows milk left in the jug.
