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…

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…

Wisconsin for a wedding
So for the last few days, I (Leslie) have been out of town in Chicago, then Madison, WI and now back to Chicago to attend two of the three most important weddings for me this year – my former roommate Missy’s wedding in Madison and my brother’s wedding in Chicago (the third is my cousins…

The Village Pub #2
When we moved to our new home we really had no idea that we were actually going to discover a gold mine of delicious places to eat, shop and hang out…just a few blocks away! Asian food, coffee, ice cream, sandwiches, pizza, BBQ, beer, etc… all of this is available to us in a very…

A Choripan loose in the park!! – Un Choripan suelto en el parque!!!
We have been waiting for a long time to take Choripan to the dog park and see him making friends! So finally the day came, he has all his vaccines, we had some extra time during the week, and the weather was very pleasant after the rain. We knew he would have a lot of…

Singing at Puckett’s in Leipers Fork, TN
Happy Monday everyone! I’m still feeling a little worn out from the weekend (it started on Thursday night with the midnight showing of Harry Potter, which I’ll post about soon, then Friday night shooting a rehearsal dinner and Saturday night shooting a wedding, then last night I played a show with my dad and other…

Chupete graduates! – Chupete se graduo!
Chupete graduated!! We are so proud of him! especially because this class was a huge challenge to his curious nature. For his beginner class he was the only dog enrolled, which was a huge help for him (and us) because it let our trainer focus on him and his puppy issues (he really needed attention,…
