All Day I Dream About Don...
my latest obsession, Mad Men

unless you've been living under a rock,
then you probably know this is one of the
best shows on television right now. if you
haven't seen it, please do so. you're certain
to pick up a nasty smoking habit if you are
not currently on the nicotine.
incentive.
i know.

anyhoo...

i usually don't like getting outta bed
to start the work week, not sure anyone
does, but today wasn't so bad. i think
knowing that i get a whole day off on
thursday (with pay!) to cook and eat,
eat and cook helps. yes, a whole day.

i really enjoy waking up to feed the
chickens, also known as 'the girls'...
they are so weird. anyhow, they wake up
early and want to eat... a lot. they like
to talk and peck and run about all nimbly
bimbly. they sure are cute. and weird.

(my favorite girl, hazel.)

oh, and still no eggs.

also, i had posole for lunch today... yum.

(and you thought i couldn't be more random.)

Can I Get You Some Fried Rice... Or Some Grenadine?

Happy Monday,kids!

I love 30 Rock and I fear I may be obsessed.
I obsess over things easily... obviously.



Work is bleh today.

Lets Recap, Shall We...

Woke up this morning to the pug snoring really loud...
he had a bath last night so he was especially soft and
nice smelling when we cuddled today. Craig calls it our
"love affair" when he sees us cuddling in our mornings.

Giggled with my sweetie and fondled each other a bit.
He brought me coffee because he's great like that.

Got somewhat "ready" while Craig fed Angus. And
I got a little frustrated 'cause I need a haircut
like no body's business and I've yet to get one.

Enjoyed some Stephanie Miller on the way to work...
she's damn hilarious.

I just had a meatloaf sandwich with garlic mayo
on rustic bread for my (early) lunch and it was
AWESOME! It made me very happy!

This evening, Craig's cool French/Jewish friend, Clement
is coming over to hang out with us. He and Craig have
known each other for years and he always visits us when
he's in town... he lives in Cali. He also brought me flowers
once and Bombay some Jerky Treats. Bombay of course
took the treats and continued to torture the poor guy
anyway. He's funny like that.

Now, I'm just chillin' here at work until it's time for
me to "fly this coop".

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?"

~Modest Mouse , Bukowski

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.

As R. Kelly Would Say:

"it's the freakin' weekend, i'm about to have me some fun.
can i get a 'toot toot'? can i get a 'beep beep'?"
then he'd probably do something unmentionable.

anyhoo, i'm happy it's the weekend, excited to chill.

here's a cool shot i took the other night on the way home.



Happy Friday, Kids!

You Know What Thursday Means...

... a new episode of The Office tonight!



"A hero kills people, people that wish him harm. A hero is part human and part supernatural. A hero is born out of a childhood trauma, or out of a disaster, that must be avenged....

I think one of the greatest things about modern America is the computerization of medical records. As a volunteer sheriff I can look up anyone's psychiatric records or surgical histories. Yeast infections...there are a huge number of yeast infections in this county. Probably because we're downriver from that old bread factory...

Security in this office park is a joke. Last year I came to work with my spud-gun in a duffle bag. I sat at my desk all day with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?"

Currently Reading

the Nasty Bits by badass Tony Bourdain
from our local cool ass library because my
sweet lover thought of me when he and the
boy visited recently.

on fast food:

"Next time you find yourself slack-jawed and
hungry in front of a fast-food counter- and a
clown is anywhere nearby- just turn on your
heels and head for the lone-wolf, independant
operator down the street: a pie shop, a chippie,
a kebab joint, or in New York, "a dirty-water hot dog",
anywhere that the proprieter has a name...

In Mexico, one is likely to find happy swarms of
people slurping posole, a sort of soupy stew, or
menudo, a similarily delicious concoction, around
primitive carts right out in the street, electric power
provided by a chugging gas generator. A few pesos
and a few seconds and you're eating better than any
place run by evil clowns or steroid-overdosed action
movie front men."

~Anthony Bourdain

A New Day!

yesterday was a rough one, but
today is a new day so Happy Friday!

here's some cuteness:

Love is a Battlefield

(inspired by the South Park episode on Indian Gaming...)

Damn.

With every cheesey ounce of my almost 31 year
old being, I love being a child of the 80's... lucky bitch.


(did you notice 'Nathan Arizona' as her pops?)

My favorite part is the "Slutty Shoulder Shimmey Dance Off"
between the pimp and the sluts... so. dang. awesome.
I'm almost sure I've mastered the dance myself...almost.

"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.

Ahh, the Salad Days...

It's hot outside.

So, tonight for dinner we had
something yummy and refreshing:



romaine w/ homemade vinaigrette, chicken w/
panko breadcrumbs, tomatoes, bacon, chopped
egg, avocado, red onion, blue cheese crumbles,
and cayenne candied walnuts... bread + butter.

so damn delicious.
