Day 18: Something you are afraid of. I’m not going to say what my biggest/worst fears are, because I’m an incredibly superstitious dork who fears that articulating those things out loud (or writing them out loud here on my blog) will make them come true. Ridiculous, I know, but that’s…

Day 17: Are you named after anyone? No, and I am named Patricia only through my dad’s intervention. Mom apparently wanted to name me Yesenia when Dad (thankfully) stepped in and said no (no offense to any Yesenias out there). He also had a hand in naming my sisters, which…

Day 16: Your least favorite chore. Despite being the Keeper of the Litter Boxes, I’m going to have to say cleaning the bathroom is my least favorite chore. At least with the litter boxes I can keep everything pretty well contained. When it comes to the bathroom, though, there’s just…

Day 13: How you relax. Relax? Reee-lax? Am I pronouncing that correctly? That should tell you how often I relax and how good I am at it. When I do attempt to relax, it usually involves me stretched out on the couch like a slug catching up on recorded shows…

Day 12: Something you do every day. Believe it or not, I, Patricia Sanchez Lee, recovering Catholic, say prayers every night at bedtime. I know some people who believe I’m a godless heathen because I don’t regularly attend church (admittedly a rarity here in the Bible Belt), but I’m not.…

Day 11: A photo that makes you laugh. I’ve done really well taking pictures of Coraline every day so far this year. Getting them uploaded to my Flickr account is another story. In taking all these pictures, I’m always amazed at the range of expressions she makes. From shy smiles…

Day 10: Your favorite room in your house. One of the things that made this house so appealing to us was the big basement den/family room. We instantly knew that this would be the room in which we spent most of our time — it was perfect for us, with…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 9
Day 9: Your most treasured item. I never really got to know my paternal grandparents. They lived in Puerto Rico, and neither they nor my parents had enough money to make frequent visits a possibility; travel from Houston to P.R. wasn’t cheap. One of the very few memories I have…

31 Day Blog Prompt Challenge Day 8
Day 8: A birthday celebration. I’ve had birthdays on the mind a lot lately: Coraline will turn two(!) in September, so I’ve been wracking my brain thinking about what to do, what would be age-appropriate, what theme she’d like (I’ll take a wild guess and say Elmo). She won’t remember…
