the ameraucana with green feet.



you were so cute... you had those sweet green feet
and those crazy-ass sideburns that looked course
but were in face super soft. the few eggs you layed
for us were oh-so-perfect... i'll never forget you,
punk-rock chicken.

Happy Wednesday

It's already Wednesday, can you believe it?

Anyhow, here's a little rundown of what
I've been up to lately... exciting. I know.

1. Had a really great time this weekend at my
first ever photo show. Basically 20 people
were chosen to display and possibly sell a
photo of choice at a bar Downtown. I was
just happy to hang my photo so imagine my
excitement when it sold almost immediately!
A lucky (+ nice!) guy is now the owner of
this, except REAL. 8x8 was the photo size:

I took pictures of it hanging with my little
tag info but they came out too dark. I may
post them anyway.



2. Watched a silly yet entertaining movie...
Wanted with good looking people, I might add.
Like this fella. He's short but very handsome.

3. Excited to visit D.C. again and my bff... of
course we're going to a show...Built to Spill who've
I've seen many a time but are always so. damn. good.

I suppose that's about it...anything exciting on your side?

It's Getting Better All The Time...

yes, things are starting to get a bit better/easier on
my side. thanks sooo much to the people who've
helped me see things a little clearer... all we can do
is take responsibility for ourselves, right? that's what
i intend to do.

a few things that are making my days bearable are:

1. Beading with my adorable 8 yr old niece, Jules.

2. The best older sister in. the . world. Seriously.

3. Cable television... little things REALLY do make
me happy. Travel, E!, Food Network, amc, bravo~ thanks!

4. Being asked to hang a photo at a bar/gallery down-
town for a small show at the end of August. Wow, me?

5. Corresponding with genuinely nice people on the
internets who can relate to me and my situation.

6. Having my best friend and 2 other great friends in
town and having a girls night away from "the city".

7. Jumping on a huge trampoline and excited I can
still do all the cheerleader jumps I did in school. Nice.

oh NO she didn't...

at least she's a babe.

THANKS and ALOHA.

THANKS for making my work day hell in a bucket.

Whew, It's Almost Over!

the work week, that is.

Talked with my girl, Amanda yesterday and happy
to hear she'll be in NM in April... party time!




Went running again yesterday while Craig and
our cool friend , Joffe, talked bathrooms (ours
in particular) and showers and stuff. They will
be (woo-hoo!) finishing the project we started
last year and I couldn't be happier! And yes, our
bathroom was partially un-finished all year, get
over it... we can't all be perfect!

Made some pesto and pasta for dinner and also
had some delish Onion soup Craig made so damn
perfectly.

Today, I laughed at comments Rachael left me on
the old blog-- love that girl!

Also, I caught up on one of my fave sites, Stuff White
People Like and did a little work while anticipating
tonights new episode of America's Next Top Model...
my fave this cycle so far is Amis. She's cute and quirky.
And I'm sorry, but Fatima is a bitch.

Now, I'm patiently waiting for my lunch break so I
can grab a ginger ale and get some sun!

How's your day going so far?

"Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know?
Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw?

Well all that icing and all that cake,
I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake.
You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day,
when you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK?"

it's tuesday and i feel fine...

I'm loving all this gorgeous weather!

I went for my first run (in a while!) after
work yesterday and it was great! I was over
at UNM , the sun was setting and it was very
peaceful. I walked / ran a total of 5 laps
and it felt awesome! I can't wait til my ass
starts rockin' again... ok, let's face it, my
ass is always rockin'. What I really want to
do is tone up and feel good in a swimsuit. I
think I already look pretty good, but of course,
we all could use a little more help!

I also have a jumprope and a hula hoop that I'm
going to use to mix things up a little... looking
forward to feeling like a kid again!

Me Me Me...

you may not know about yours truly... time

Hold On

i love this song and video.
and Tom Waits, of course.

Hooray, Hooray!

thats right, it's Friday and it's girl's night out..

A long week, cramps, and a boyfriend who doesn't
always understand my weird-ass feelings makes for
a much deserved night out with the gals!

Happy Friday to all yous!

I'll Put That Cigarette Out...

in your flippin' eye!

The idiot that sat next to me and
complained that my lotion "made him
unable to breathe" no longer sits next
to me and that makes me happy. I totally
understand that certain people have
issues with certain scents, but where
the hell do you get off asking me to
refrain from wearing said lotion so
you can breathe easier? It's not as if
it's the late 90's and I'm still rocking
the infamous stripper scent of vanilla or
anything like that. And how is it the smoke
from your 20 or so breaks a day doesn't seem
to bother you, funny that LOTION does...?

Damn idiot... mix in a facial for those pores!

Feel Like Laughing?

head over to One D at a Time and read this hilarious post
by one of the geniuses from the Jezebel site!

The Greatest

Once I wanted to be the greatest...
Two fists of solid rock.
With brains that could explain
Any feeling....

Lower me down,
Pin me in,
Secure the grounds....
For the lead
And the dregs of my bed
I've been sleepin'...
For the later parade.




I love Cat Power.

How Christmas-y...

We (me) decided that it was time to give some
New Mexican christmas treats a shot this weekend
and it was mighty fun...and hard as hell. I really
had no idea what it took to throw together some
tamales and some biscochitos on a late
Saturday afternoon. But, it was something I've
been wanting to try for a while, so we did. And...
everything is so good! Sounds a little cocky, I know,
but both Craig and I were very pleased with our
hard work. We also had a super delish onion soup
that Craig made all on his own... between the tamales,
onion soup and cookies, our kitchen smelled like a
little piece of heaven. But, I do have to say, no wonder
little old abuelitas only make tamales and biscochitos
just once a year... I am still a little sore from mixing
and rolling dough. And I've never cooked with so much
lard in my life. **flips imaginary tortillas and wipes forehead simultaneously**

Biscochitos...yum:



Onion-y and cheesy soup:



yes... that's a pig foot in Craig's broth.

and some tamales:

Filming in New Mexico

Game, starring an old boyfriend...

I wonder if I'll run into him since they're
filming here in Albuquerque...
I better look my best.

so, yeah... today sucked.

long day... you DO NOT
want to hear about it...

meh, what can you do?
i took some pics, that
made me feel a bit better...

"Eaaaasy, Barren..."

is what I'm sometimes told by Sweets when I need to
calm my ass down. Today it was more like ,"Eaaasy, Cujo",
since I went off sort of like a rabid dog due to all the
scooters and whatnot. Anyhow, after a little food and a
tantrum, I feel better about the scooter rally tomorrow.
I should've known that last minute "stuff" would have to
be taken care of before the trip, I just wanted my sweet
baby all to myself for a bit. I want Craig to have a good
time, so I am putting on my game face and ready for this
thing! Bombs is ready too.

So Tough

Sagwah had to have an operation today...
but he is fine and surprisingly spry for
just having his manlihood snipped away.
He is such a tough little guy!
