Ask Xela

Today, we begin a new feature: Ask Xela!
Send me questions about anything.
I'll post my answers on the blog.

Our first query comes from Tia Catha, who asks:
"Xela, are you always smiling?"

So I decided to express my feelings:


I was furious for, like, forever!

...NOT!
(I just like goofing around too much!)

I'm Tickled...

PINK!!!!!

It's hard to believe... finally, the pieces are coming together.

Today, the US Embassy in Guatemala City issued my "pink slip" - the last important hurdle of my adoption journey.

October 24th is my Embassy interview; hopefully Pamcita will do most of the talking.

October 25th at 3:30 pm, my visa will be ready... making me a US citizen.

And Friday October 26th, I'll be home!

What a long strange trip it's been...

separated at birth?

FASHION ALERT

You've seen the impossibly cute puppies...

the feathered fashionistas...

The topknot is taking over the world!
Who am I to buck the trend?
Call me slave to fashion:

This baby's on the topknot bandwagon!
