Been eating...

that's what we've been doing.

and I must say, it's one of my most favorite
things to do. Take a mo' and visit me at
hungry, are you? for some serious drooling time.

Spring? Is that you?

in like a lion, out like a :

lamb-kin pez.

I love skit, tank-top and flip flop gear!

the Road

is the book I'm currently
reading and it's amazing.
I've been getting through it
as quickly as possible... I
NEED to know how it ends.

The movie version is coming out
soon... I think it's going to be good...
in the sense of casting. Alright, alright ~
I like Viggo Mortenson... who doesn't?

lovin' it...

i'm loving this time of year!

the changing of leaves...
the way night-time creeps up on us WAY early...
the endless amount of movie watching...
the fact that it's snuggie weather...

AAAND, it's almost time for thanksgiving!

i love thanksgiving because i get to cook for
myself and the boys... and they tell me how
delicious everything is and they clean up for
me while i nap... ahhh, looking forward to it!

Blast From the Past!

For some reason while I was driving to work this
morning, all I could think of was of being young and
starting schoolwhen the weather was changing from
summer to fall. I can remember waking up early
(I had to "do" my hair) and loving the crispness of
the morning and wondering how the day would turn
out. Depending on how much time I had left before I

needed to catch the bus, I'd do things like dance and
sing along Debbie Gibson  or practice my gymnastics.

Random. But good memories.

Here's a little list of favorite movies from back in the day:

1. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

2. Teen Witch

3. Dream a Little Dream OR anything with
the Coreys in it.

4. Can't Buy Me Love

5. Troop Beverly Hills

I really could list 1,000 more cheesey flicks...
but I won't. This is enough thought provoking
blogging for one day, yes?

Hello!

I had some time off last week... it was so nice to
sleep in and basically do whatever I wanted. We
originally planned to visit White Sands, but decided
to postpone the trip til it gets a little cooler in N.M.

We have spent a number of hours in the car for the
month of August, first up to Cortez, Co. for a memorial
for Craig's grandfather, then up to the Jemez for
some camping and scooter festivities. It was, of course,
debaucherous, but we all made it out alive. I won a
helmet in the raffle, amoung other goodies.

My best girl Amanda was in town last week, so it was
a blast catching up and laughing our asses off...having
a great time! I can ALWAYS count on her for that!

Another fun event? Buying and roasting a 30lb. bag
of Hatch Green Chile... the smell is one of the best
smells anyone could wish for! Serio.



Needless to say, we enjoyed peeling and bagging and tasting
the chile as it was roasted. We also made Chile Rellenos and they were GOOD!

That is all for now... stay tuned.

Equation for a happy lunch break...

Hot as F#&% !!!

it's been CRAZY hot lately...
luckily NOT humid, though!

Sundays, Star Sightings and Scooters...

Sunday was Father's Day and we
celebrated by having lunch in Santa Fe
@ a favorite, Cafe Pasqual's. Anyone who's
ever been there knows there is ALWAYS a
wait, well worth it, and this Sunday was no
different. But, while we were waiting, I spotted
Hilary Swank! She was blonde and petite and
walking down the street, minding her own
business. It was actually really exciting!
She's a looker!


Another exciting thing coming up is the
Lambretta Scooter Rally, being hosted by my
Sweets and his friends. They have been working
so hard for months, but I think it's going to be
great fun and worth all the hard work. The guys will
also be in the paper on June 25th, I'll post a link or
something...In the meantime, here's a pic of the pinata,
not quite finished, that will be smashed to smithereens:

It's FIIIIINALLY Friday!

Long week for me...

I had a weird sickness on Tuesday and
Wednesday, achiness and sinus stuff.
No fun at all! Luckily, I had sweet Craig
to take care of me and keep me pumped
up on...children's aspirin!!!
Aside from sounding a little like a
mouth breather, I'm much better.

ah, Sookie Sookie!

thanks to Mint Julep who mentioned True Blood
on her blog, I now have another obsession.
Who would've thought?

Also thinking of starting the
Sookie Stackhouse series, but
I've been lazy to do anything
(as previously stated) that
requires thought or movement.
We'll see.

hey hey hey

i've been suuuper lazy when it comes to the old
blog lately... there were NO scooter accidents,
just laziness. anyhoo, i hope the few of you left
reading this are well.

i got to see my female soul-mate,neko case on
thursday night... she was fantastic, as always.
the crowd, however, needed a damn attitude
adjustment... serio. but, as always, i enjoyed
myself and listened to some sweet tunes!

we also BBQ'd this weekend, always a good time.
i made my famous potato salad and all was well
on the home front.

another fun thing lately? marathons of the oh so
hilarious arrested development. gosh, why do all
the great shows come to an early end? sucky!

i'm down with the sickness...

i learned to ride the lambretta this weekend...
i had no idea it would be so exciting and liberating!

De La Torre Brothers in 'Burque!

these amazing brothers will be at the
National Hispanic Cultural Center on
Thursday, lecturing on their current exhibit.
Their work is so interesting and exciting, I
hope to catch their presentation!



(this is just a TINY piece of their awesomeness!)

hello and hi.

how's that for boring!?

not a lot going on 'round these parts...

work has been extremely busy the past
2 weeks. people? they're nuts!

i saw calexico this weekend.
they were great~ there was a pinata.
i have some pics, i'll post them later.

oh, i've been watching a lot of twin peaks
lately. i was never really into it when it was
popular in the 90's... i was probably too busy
with the New Kids or something else equally
lame. anyhoo, i'm really digging it, there are
so many weird, freaky, wild, bat-shit crazy
characters~ i love it. i'm up to season 2 as of
tonight. good stuff.

that's all i've got for now.

Calexico... free show!

I love me some music...
and free shows? Oh yeah.











If you're in the 'Burque this weekend, Calexico
is playing a free show at UNM's Johnson Field,
which is walking distance from our house. So
excited, these guys are great!

The last time I saw them was at the Launchpad about
5 years ago. AND, Joey Burns and John Convertino
are ALSO opening for Neko in May! Yay!

LOW

"Shawty had them apple bottom jeans (jeans)
Boots with the fur (with the fur)
The whole club was looking at her
She hit the floor (she hit the floor)
Next thing you know
Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low
Them baggy sweat pants
And the Reebok's with the straps (with the straps)
She turned around and gave that big booty a smack (hey)
She hit the floor (she hit the floor)
Next thing you know
Shawty got low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low"
Flo Rida




YOU'RE WELCOME!

it's Friday...oh yeah!

I get to go on a date tonight... lucky me!
Is it really a date if I choose the date, place
and time? I say IT IS! Anytime I get to spend
quality ADULT time with my lover is fun to me.
We, like (probably) everyone, have gone through
rough patches, and most likely will again in
our future, but we are both working hard at
our relationship and will continue to do so.
We've been together for like 8 years or something!

DAAAAANG!

Gimme Some Sugar, Baby!

Yes, that's an actual line in Army of Darkness...
we watched it this weekend. I was a bit skeptical
at first, but after a few one liners like the title post,
I was all over it. And a young Bruce Campbell.

yummmm.... ewwwww.... blech.

hungry and sick at the same time.



heart attack much?
