Harry Potter – long overdue
My heart is still racing and I’m still recovering from about 10 minutes of sheer panic when my computer wouldn’t turn on this morning. I went into the bedroom and stood next to Javi and I think he knows what this means by now because only 2 months ago one of my memory cards was…

Las Vegas – the meadows
The meadows? Really? This morning before I started this post I started thinking about the word “vegas” because we always say “vegas baby!” and I thought it’d be really funny if Vegas meant something in Spanish that just wouldn’t translate well when you say obnoxious things like “vegas, baby!” and “what happens in vegas stays…

We are back to the routine…the dogs not so much…
The summer is over and we are back to our regular routine. Leslie started classes this past Wednesday and I…well, I keep working (no more free summer for me). The summer went by sooo fast, but that is ok because we have plenty of things to look forward to. My family is coming to visit…

Thanks, y’all!!
We wanted to dedicate a quick post to everyone who has been reading our blog since its inception on July 16, 2011. I realize it’s only been a little over a month so it might be premature to start calling folks ‘dedicated’ readers, but we’d like to think there’s a steady stream of readers out…

We are now internet advertising stars!
We always love to recommend the Village Pub to our friends and family since we discovered in our neighborhood. Leslie got to sing there (we made a post about it, check it out) a couple of times and we love to hang out in their porch with the dogs every once in a while. Siempre…

I hate you mosquitoes! – Part I
We wouldn’t be living in the South if we didn’t sit on the front porch in the evening, and we wouldn’t be in the south if we didn’t get eaten alive by mosquitoes every evening we sit on the front porch. We decided we’ve had enough….those little bastards will not stop us from enjoying the…

Vegas Bound
As much as I would LOVE to say that I’m thrilled to be on my way to Vegas right now, the fact is I’m exhausted and just positively dreading flying alone. This is my first solo-flying experience since my ability to fly worry-free got all screwed up when a bolt of lightning struck a plane…

This time next week… / La proxima semana…..
Summer is almost over. This time next week I’ll be on a plane home from Las Vegas (so the posts are about to get REALLY entertaining) where the ASA conference is taking place this year (ok maybe they won’t be that entertaining…) and on Wednesday I have my first class. Yesterday I went into our…

You know you are driving through Indiana when…
You know you are driving through Indiana when writing another blog post from your smartphone seems like great fun. We are on our return trip back to nashville, except this time there isn’t an overnight stop in Louisville to break up the drive. We won’t make it back in time to collect our pups from…

Back in Chicago
So to make up for yesterday’s fairly low-key post I’d like to present a few fun photos I got in the car on the drive and this afternoon when we were walking through Chicago to meet Ian and Andrea for dinner. Para compensar por el post de ayer, aqui van algunas fotos muy entretenidas que…

Road Trip!
At the moment I’m sitting in the passengers seat of our little cluttered black Yaris while Javi is struggling to find a comfortable spot in the drivers seat – he isn’t really built for compact cars but he always wants to be the one driving so he’s gotta deal til the day we can afford…

Saturday fun day – Disfrutando el Sabado libre!
After several weekends having to either work or attend weddings we had a weekend to do whatever we wanted! That’s not to say that we don’t enjoy weddings, but some free time is always nice to enjoy. We had an awesome deal from LivingSocial – 2 tickets to any 3D movie for $4….yeah not bad…

Hot Dogs! – Completos!
I was watching the history channel a few days ago, the show was about the history of hot dogs and how this food has become a icon of American food. Well….I could not resist eating hot dogs for dinner that day after hearing and seeing so much about them. Viendo el History Channel unos dias…

The latest design – El ultimo diseno!!
Last year we came up with the idea of creating a brand for t-shirts – it would be something fun to work on, a way to make something with my art and maybe make some money off of it and an outlet for creative impulses. After some thought and a couple of different ideas we…

LRL (green) Cribs!
Welcome to this episode of LRL (los Rodriguez life) Cribs! Nashville weather can hit extremes during summer and winter, so our superstars Chupete and Choripan needed a place to protect them from the elements (they really don’t spend that much time outside but they needed to be homeowners just in case). So I decided to…

My big brother’s wedding! – La boda de mi hermano mayor!

So before I get into this, let me explain that I was a bridesmaid (so fun!), the wedding photographer, and I sang Ave Maria during the ceremony and…

Adventures in Chicago – Aventuras en Chicago
Javi and I are currently sprawled out on the sofa recovering from a crazy weekend (well, for me it’s been 10 days!) in Chicago. I posted last week about my weekend in Wisconsin, after which I rode back to Chicago with my friends and stayed at my brother’s apartment for a few days with my…
