Thanks~Giving

 Gratitudes and giving thanks for everyone in my life.  A little (true) story from Mi Vida Loca:
The man in the uniform waved us through the first set of barriers.  We pulled slowly forward as the second set of men in uniforms waved us to our spot.  We sat perched precariously atop boxes filled with dried [...]

The Blushing Bride

I am one of those people who sees everything going on around me in both the mundane and extraordinary.  I don’t miss a thing.  Every little detail is noticed and those very details submerge my thoughts into “what if’s” or “what about” or “hmmm”.  It is both a curse and a blessing.  Most of the [...]

Dog Psychology

(Not an homage to my secret boyfriend, Cesar Milan.  In case you were wondering…)
Okay, so, the M-F’ing dentist thing is still going on and driving me batshit.  I went to the dentist (endodontic stuff is completed) to get my new crown and, thinking I would just hop in the chair, pop off the old crown [...]

Fire

“The fire.  The odor of burning juniper is the sweetest fragrance on the face of the earth, in my honest judgment; I doubt if all the smoking censers of Dante’s paradise could equal it.  One breath of juniper smoke, like the perfume of sagebrush after rain, evokes in magical catalysis, like certain music, the space [...]

Colorful Moments

I just read something somewhere that reminded me of a particular time in my life that always makes me feel good.  The timing was perfect because I’ve been feeling inspired by little things like, the weather, a song, the light of the day, colors on the ground and in the sky, the turn of a [...]

Balloon Fiesta!

We were up and dressed very early this morning.  The boys were most anxious for hot chocolate, donuts, and breakfast burritos.  Angela was anxious to get a good spot to photograph from and I was anxious driving on the wrong side of the street amidst all the orange cones.  It was all very organized if [...]

Well, Shut My GollDanged Mouth!

For the last two and a half months I’ve been dealing with a very bad Dental Experience.  Currently, I am still on heavy doses of antibiotics while the Dental Experience tries to figure out how they are going to deal with their botched work.  Of course, I’ve had to consult with a (couple of) lawyer(s).  [...]

Ahhhh…

Ahhhh…. The end of summer is near and fall is just around the corner.  It’s the most… wonderful… time… of the year!!
I finally got a haircut/color courtesy of Ms. Angela today.  Looks Faboo Dahlink!  I bought some Aveda Volumizing (evidently this is not a real word) Tonic.  After I paid for it… I read the [...]

Pièce de résistance

I have so much Random Stuff floating through my head that it kind of hurts to have a new thought.  Just when it seems as if I might be able to pull it all together into some sort of blog post, I remember something that needs to get done or something I need to tell [...]

Primordial Stirrings

 
Ten or twelve deer were grazing in the open field ahead of us. We leaned back and slowly waddled down the steep, rocky trail that led to a heavily wooded, northwest facing slope of California hillside. The surrounding hills were a tapestry of sage scrub; Chaparral, Greasewood, Manzanita, purple sage, and the occasional out-crop of [...]
