Wildly Dizzy

I started to write something about how windy it’s been here in Albuquerque. I Googled “Winds of March” and ended up on a spiritual path with the band Journey. While I liked that song (though don’t remember hearing it… ever… and thought I knew just about every Journey song) my favorite song is still “Lights”. [...]

Here’s Lookin at You, Kid

Every time I try to write here… I find myself stuck in complaint. I don’t wanna be like that so I just don’t write. *sigh* It’s a vicious circle. I need to get over it.
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid:
Lulu ate an entire plate of banana pancakes off the kitchen counter this morning. Bugger! Only one [...]

2008 In a Word

From The Daily Humorscope for January 1, 2009:
Pisces
(February 19 – March 20)
You will become fascinated by the unlikely use of the same word to mean very different things. For example, what is the link between “seasons” as changes in the weather and “seasons” as in what you do to food? Or for that matter, why [...]

I swear…

… and if that offends you, stop reading now… 
I’ve become a morning person by default. I’ve been working the opening shift which means I’m up at 3:45AM and out the door to work by 4:30AM. The other night I woke up at 2:30AM and couldn’t go back to sleep. I wrote, read, drank coffee, took a [...]

Burrito Blankets and a Cuppa Sumatra

I woke up and immediately asked for coffee. Then I was told that I was a blanket-hog all night. Yes, there is a chill in the air… it was only 53 degrees when I woke up this morning. This caused the boys to sleep longer than usual. Each of them was wrapped tight in their [...]

New Mexico State Fair!

Ah… you know it is fall in New Mexico when the early morning skies are filled with hot air balloons, the grocery stores have large butane tanks and chili roasting cages, kids are back in school (Hallelujah!), and the state fairgrounds are used for the state fair versus a swap meet/horse racing gig.
It’s also the [...]

Atta Girl!

It’s no secret that I have a love for animals. I’ve got two bird-brained-dogs that keep me constantly amused. Not only are they goofy but I just love how excited they are when we all wake up in the morning. They act as if they haven’t seen us for days and jump around and lickity-lick-lick [...]

CAN YA HEAR ME NOW?

I love the word “serendipity” and use it with wild abandon. This past week we’ve had some (fault-driven) serendipitous moments that stem from yet another major communication break-down involving APS. And you thought we were done dealing with school issues. Au contraire Mon frere! The hits just keep on playin’! Or not. Whatever the case, [...]
