The Best of MBFCF in 2009
/Everywhere you hear about and see the flashbacks, the nostalgia, the reminiscing about the past year.
Well, today I look back on this blogging year and some of my favorite posts. (Yes, I do have favorite posts and lots of others that make me wring my hands and wonder why I do this in the first place, but that's not important right now.)
Actually, it's tough for me to choose my favorites, because I write about the comings and goings and uber-geekiness and silliness of my family. For the most part, I usually write from my heart about whatever is on at that moment. And that continues to be the Reason I Blog.
But here are the Highlights of MBFCF for this past year. (As voted on by a panel of Myself. =D)
Enjoy!
1. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
The time I was contacted by the producer for umm... Ramie Toliver. *sigh*
In which my son becomes the Greatest Candy Maker of All Time and leaves mom in a puddle of tears.
3. "Funny, but you don't look Cuban."
Celebrating my mom's 95th birthday with party hats and great style.
Café con leche. That is all.
In which I run smack-dab into an icon from my past in the unlikeliest of places: Washington, D.C.
6. Como Su Ritmo No Hay Dos or What Cuban Music Heaven Looks Like
The night we got to see Andy Garcia up-close and personal at the Conga Room.
I just really like that picture and all the comments that you shared on that post.
Me, Desi Arnaz, Jr. and my Pastelitos de Guayaba in the same area code, at the same time. =D
9. How Many Cuban Girls Does it Take to Get ONE Photo?
I laugh out loud when I remember this moment. So glad I caught in on film and blogged about it.
10. Gonna buy five copies for my mother...
The day my coming-to-America story came out in the O.C. Register. (*she wrote, proudly*)
11. My Man, Ron
An unforgettable visit to the Reagan Ranch.
12. Measuring Life
Celebrating MBFCF in this year's Christmas video.
These were just some of the highlights of my year. I think that 2009 will go down in history as the year in which I Blogged Once Again. =D
Thank you all for allowing me to share the ups and downs of my big, fat, Cuban family with you. I look forward with great anticipation towards 2010 and all that it may bring.
Prospero Año Nuevo!
