BOOMIN' GRANNY...

"Well I'm 26 And You're 80-
The Clock Is Ticking So You Better Not Front
We Can Go To My Place Or We Could Smoke A Blunt.
Well You're A Lovely Girl, Just Like B.Arthur
Just Turn Down The Lights So We Can Go Farther.
Boomin' Granny, Boomin' Fanny
Boomin' Granny, Good And Plenty...
Because I Saw Ya At The Check Out Line-
You Dropped Your Coupons And You Were Looking Fine.
Sophisicated, And So Mature,
I Couldn't Really Care If You're 50 Or 74.
Becaues I Want Ya, And I Need Ya
Hey Boomin' Granny You Could Be My Teacher.
And I Could Be Your Pet, Bet.
Listen Old Lady I'm Gonna Make Ya Sweat
I Know I'm Younger, And Your Much Older
You Look So nice On My Chevy Nova.
I'm gonna Take Her To The Low Ryder Show, And Flaunt Ya
I Gotta Tell Ya Lady I Said I Want Ya, Boomin' Granny
Because I Need You Boomin' Granny...
Boomin' Granny, Boomin' Fanny...
Boomin' Granny, Good And Plenty..."

--Beastie Boys

this song is so funny.

'No Reservations'

is on tonight and Chuck Palahniuk will be
a guest on the show! Tony will be in the
Pacific Northwest where Chuck is from and I'm
soooo excited, I can hardly wait! Here's some
more info on the show if anyone is unfamiliar
with it: click this.

I've been thumbing through "Fugitives & Refugees'
all morning with the hopes they stop in some places
that Chuck writes about.

I did a previous post on this, so I may be repeating
myself, but I don't care--I'm excited!

"Be Here To Love Me:

A Film About Townes Van Zandt" was on the Sundance
channel today and it was GREAT. It's a documentary on
his 'troubled life and prolific career.' It was incredibly
touching and sad and I hope to come across it again.

I love this song...

"If I needed you
Would you come to me,
Would you come to me,
And ease my pain?
If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas
For to ease your pain.

In the night forlorn
The mornings born
And the morning shines
With the lights of love
You will miss sunrise
If you close your eyes
That would break
My heart in two."

--Townes Van Zandt

On another note, we're going to have dinner
at Padilla's tonight. I love that place. They
always have a wait, so we're going a little bit
earlier than we'd normally go. .."the early bird"
dinner as we like to call it. Yum, I can't wait.

This was our dinner last night:

Braised short ribs, risotto with parmesan, bacon and
oyster mushrooms, and artichokes steamed with lemon,
parsley, garlic and mint. Craig did a fantastic job as
always--it was delicious!

What a Day!

'IN THE VALLEY OF ELAH'
is a movie that is being filmed here in New Mexico.
As a matter of fact, they are shooting a scene in
our neighborhood tomorrow. We were asked if someone
could come by and melt the snow in our front yard for
the scene. As it turns out, Charlize Theron and Tommy Lee
Jones are filming between 8am and 4pm ACROSS THE
STREET from our house! WOO-HOO, you better belieeeve
I will have my camera out, all paparazzi-like. I hope to
see one if not both of them, as they are both great actors.
I will post any pictures I may be able to take. For more info
on the film and cast, go here: here.

In other great news, my good friend Lori had her baby today!
It's a boy and he was born early this morning. As of this
afternoon, they were still undecided on names. I did see
a picture and he is adorable! Congratulations!

Listen here,'YOUNG PILGRAMS':

guess who'll be on Saturday Night Live this weekend...
YUP, the Shins! I remember the good old days of seeing
them @ the Launchpad- always for free. The way they've
blown up over the years, I wonder if they'll play any
hometown shows in the future. That'd be lovely.

"A cold and wet November dawn
And there are no barking sparrows
Just emptiness to dwell upon.

I fell into a winter slide
And ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow
Just eking out my measly pies.

But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
Know there is this side of me that
Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
Fly the whole mess into the sea.

Another slow train to the coast
Some brand new gory art from way on high
I sink and then I swim all night.

I watch the ice melt on the glass
While the eloquent young pilgrims pass
And leave behind their trail
Imploring us not to fail.

Of course I was raised to gather courage from those
Lofty tales so tried and true and
If you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this
Modern thought can get the best of you.

This rather simple epitaph can save your hide your falling mind
Fate isn't what we're up against there's no design no flaws to find
There's no design no flaws to find.

But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
Know I got this side of me that
Wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
Fly the whole mess into the sea."

--the Shins

Somebody's Got a Case of "the SUNDAYS!!!"

It's been a relaxing day so far. I made breakfast for
Craig and myself-- fried potatoes w/ green onions,
buscuits, gravy, eggs and bacon. It was very delicious.
Craig is making us a chicken for dinner - yum.

I also made some postcards for the book board I'm on.
We do a postcard exchange, so we try to make them as
original as possible. We all agree it's nice getting an actual
piece of mail that will not go in the trash. I got a few really
cool ones right before xmas, so I was excited to make some
new ones without a theme. I used old stickers, pieces in
magazines that caught my eye, concert ticket stubs, song
lyrics, glitter and pretty much anything else that looks good
and odd. Here are the ones I made today:









"I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday

Monday through Saturday I get by just fine
Every other day of the week I feel alright
But I don't know why
I don't know why

I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday

Sunday's supposed to be the day for kicking off your shoes
But how come that's the day I always get the blues
And I don't know why
I don't know why

I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday

Ever since you had to go I just carry on
But deep down inside I know there's something wrong
And I don't know why
I don't know why

I can't seem to make it through Sunday
I can't seem to make it through Sunday..."

--Lucinda Williams

Saturdays Rock!

I'm happy it's Saturday! We slept in a little, then Craig
got up and Withers and I stayed in bed a while longer.
Then, we had some delicious coffee, shared an onion
bagel w/ cream cheese and some bacon. I have to say,
it was a tasty breakfast.

I've been having this insane craving for nachos, so we're
going to make some later. I'm a huge fan of the nachos,
but there are very few places to get them the way I like
them. Rio Grande Cantina had THE BEST nachos ever, but
they've been closed for a while so boo-hoo. They had the
best chips-warm & salty, but not too greasy-, refried whole
beans, jalepenos, and melted cheddar. Then, you could add
sour cream, guacamole, & salsa. OOOHHH, they were the
best. My attempts at them are pretty tasty also, but they
will NEVER be Can-Can nachos.

We're also going to the library later, that is always exciting.
Craig's looking for something in particular, I'll get something
that catches my eye.

ON A RANDOM NOTE:

Chuck Palahniuk will be on Tony Bourdain's show,
'No Reservations',on Jan. 15th. They will be somewhere
in the Pacific NW, so I'm curious to see if they stop
in any places Chuck writes about in 'Fugitives and Refugees'
his book that is a walking tour of Portland, OR.

Here are some random pics we came across as we we're clearing
out our iphotos file...






BECK

I saw Beck this summer with my good friend Lori and it
was a pretty amazing show. He had a whole marionnette(sp?)
thing set up on huge screens and he just rocked. If only all
white guys could get down like that...
anyhoo, this is areally good song.

"Oh yeah, come on...
I met you at JC Penny
I think your nametag said Jenny
I could step to you
With a fresh pack of gum
If somehow I knew you were looking for some
(oh no!)
Like a fruit that's ripe for the picking'
I wouldn't do you like that
Sanka chicken
'Cause only you got a thing
That I just got to get with
I just got to get
Get with you
And you know what we're gonna do
I wanna get with you (Oh girl)
And your sister
I think her name is Debra
I wanna get with you (Only you girl)
And your sister
I think her name is Debra
Girl, I only wanna be down with you
'Cause you got something
That I just got to get with
I'll pick you up late at night after work
I said lady, Step inside my Hyundai
I'm gonna take up to Glendale
Yeah
I'm gonna take you for a feel good meal
'Cause when our eyes did meet
Girl, you know I was packing' heat
Ain't no use in wasting no time?
Getting to know each other
You know the deal
'Cause only you got a thing
That I just got to get with
Got to get with
I just got to get with you girl
I wanna get with you (Only you Girl)
And your sister
I think her name is Debra
I wanna get with you (Girl yeah)
And your sister
I think her name is Debra (Ohhhh)
(Come on)
Oh lovely lady
Girl you drive me crazy
Crazy! (Oh girl)
And you sister
Debra
Yeah, you’re driving me crazy
Crazy (Oh)
Yeah
I got a little bit of sympathy for you girl
Yeah, 'cause I'm a, I'm a, full-grown man.."

Morning Song

this is how I felt this morning:

"Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep.
Let the world spin outside out door, you're the only one that I wanna see.
Tell your boss you're sick, hurry, get back in I'm getting cold-
Get over here and warm my hands up, boy, it's you they love to hold.
And stop thinking about what your sister said.
Stop worrying about it, the cat's already been fed.
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed...
Put the phone machine on hold-
Leave the dishes in the sink-
Do not answer the door.
It's you that I adore-
I'm gonna give you some more.
We'll sit on the front porch, the sun can warm my feet.
You can drink your coffee with sugar and cream
I'll drink my herbal tea.
Pretend we're perfect strangers and that we never met...
My how you remind me of a man I used to sleep with-
that's a face I'd never forget.
You can be Henry Miller and I'll be Anais Nin-
Except this time it'll be even better,
We'll stay together in the end.
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed...
Put the phone machine on hold-
Leave the dishes in the sink-
do not answer the door.
For you, I'd be a poor man's wife-
I'm gonna give you some more."


--Jewel/Pieces of You

I'M SUCH A SAP.

I used to listen to this album all the time back
in 1995 when it came out. I love Jewel's voice
and her ability to write beautiful poetry/music.

I really did not want to get out of bed this morning-
it was all nice and warm and comfy. Craig and Bumbs
love to sleep and be in bed as much as I do, so I
know they felt the same. BUT, unfortunately we both
had things to do which required us to get out of bed.
We do get to sleep in tomorrow though-yay!

We rented some movies, so we'll watch those tonight.
We did watch 'Jackass 2' last night and it was so
disgustingly hilarious- we loved it! Tonight we'll
watch 'the Black Dahlia' and 'Talledegga Nights'...
we'll see.

I Missed the Point

today's sort of dragging, I wish it'd go by
more quickly so I could get my booty home to
see the boys, Craig and Mr. Withers. Mr. Withers
is Bumbs' name of the week- there are many variations
on it: Professor Withers, Old Man Withers, Capt.
Withers, Cololnel Withers... you get the point?

Neko is the best.

"I have lightning,
If the stars dry out to guide me.
I have soft clay,
To knit my bones astride.
What a miracle they say-
Dark clouds gather
Velvet holes
Gaping wide oh...
And they pour it down,
And they sing to me,
Of wonders
Unseen
Like clouds that rise
From the sea, oh...
And I'm sorry,
I'm so sorry
That I missed the point
Of this pageantry.
But I'm grateful
That you love me..."

--NEKO CASE

Good Times

Friday we went out to see the Reverend Horton
Heat and it was a blast! Kelli got snowed in,
but Amanda and Ashley made it out and we ran
into a ton of random friends. It was a snowy
night, but everyone out seemed to enjoy the show!

It's snowing again today

and this was the playlist I listened to on the
way to work, titled 'good-ass mix' on my ipod:

Deez Nuts - Dr. Dre
99 Red Balloons - Nena
Caring is Creepy - the Shins
Baddest of the Bad - the Rev
Tear Stained Eye - Son Volt
Big Poppa - Notorious B.I.G.
Ripple - Grateful Dead/covered by Janes Addiction
Ms. Fat Booty - Mos Def
Train From Kansas City - Neko Case
Float On - Modest Mouse
Spiderbite Song - Flaming Lips
Wave of Mutilation - Pixies
Waiting for My Ruca - Sublime
Twist the Knife - Neko Case
Buick City Complex - Old 97's
Eazy Duz It - Easy E

Tonight I'm going to see The Reverend Horton Heat
with Amanda and Kelli-- if she doesn't get
snowed in, she lives in Placitas. Amanda lives
in New York with her husband and kids, Ian + Anam,
and is in town for a few days. I KNOW we'll
have a great time tonight!

It's almost over...

I like the holidays, but it's always nice
when they're over. I got some cool stuff though.

Craig is so thoughtful, he knows me so well.
Chuck Palahniuk (paula-nick) is one of my absolute
FAVORITE authors-- if not completely favorite.
Anyhoo, he got me a copy of his documentary,'Postcards
From the Future'--signed by Chuck himself! Chuck is so
funny, witty, charming and smart, I was thrilled to watch
it with Baby. I also got 'Fugitives and Refugees', which
I already started and 'Invisible Monsters' on the way.


The Long Day is Over...

"Feeling tired
By the fire
The long day is over.
The wind is gone
Asleep at dawn
The embers burn on...
With no reprise
The sun will rise
The long day is over"

--Norah Jones

Cookies...

last night I made sugar cookies-yum- and Craig
wanted a cookie in the shape of a Lambretta. He
saw one on one of his Scooter Boards and I said I'd
give it a try. There were 2, but one of em' got jacked!
This is the lonely survivor:

Ham, Ham, Ham

You guessed it--I'm cooking up a ham today!
I'm never cooked one so I'm awfully excited!
I will post a song later, but I'm still thinking
of something to fit the 'pork' theme... t.b.c.

--ok, the ham is in the oven, Baby did the scoring,
and now we're going to play with Stink Pug.

here's a yummy ham:




"What's he building in there?
What the hell is he building
In there?
He has subscriptions to those
Magazines... He never
Waves when he goes by
He's hiding something from
The rest of us... He's all
To himself... I think I know
Why... He took down the
Tire swing from the Peppertree
He has no children of his
Own you see... He has no dog
And he has no friends and
His lawn is dying... and
What about all those packages
He sends. What's he building in there?
With that hook light
On the stairs. What's he building
In there... I'll tell you one thing
He's not building a playhouse for
The children what's he building
In there?

Now what's that sound from under the door?
He's pounding nails into a
Hardwood floor... and I
Swear to god I heard someone
Moaning low... and I keep
Seeing the blue light of a
T.V. show...
He has a router
And a table saw... and you
Won't believe what Mr. Sticha saw
There's poison underneath the sink
Of course... But there's also
Enough formaldehyde to choke
A horse... What's he building
In there. What the hell is he
Building in there? I heard he
Has an ex-wife in some place
Called Mayors Income, Tennessee
And he used to have a
consulting business in Indonesia...
but what is he building in there?
What the hell is building in there?

He has no friends
But he gets a lot of mail
I'll bet he spent a little
Time in jail...
I heard he was up on the
Roof last night
Signaling with a flashlight
And what's that tune he's
Always whistling...
What's he building in there?
What's he building in there?

We have a right to know..."

--Tom Waits

Big Brown Eyes

Bombay is just so incredibly cute! He loves
to lay around, getting sun, and he does this
pretty much everyday! This was the perfect
opportunity to capture his cuteness!



"Big brown eyes, and a gust of wind,
And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says "The end
Is coming soon," but not soon enough.
Restring all your guitars. Pack up all your stuff.

'Cause if Robert's dad is right,
We might not make it through the night,
And I'd hate to go alone.
Please pick up the phone.

Well a box of red, and a pill or three,
And I'm calling time and temperature just for some company.
I wish you were here. I wish I was too.
I'll drink myself to sleeplessness, I always do.

You don't want me anymore,
Since fame and fortune broke down our door.
You don't give me no respect.
What did I expect?

If that phone don't ring one more time,
I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind.
You made a big impression for a girl of your size,
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes."

--Old 97's
(pre stupid commercial)

La La Love You...

I love this song...

"yeah!
i love you
i do
i love you
all i'm saying pretty baby
la la love you don't mean maybe
all i'm saying pretty baby
first base-
second base-
third base-
home run
yeah!
i love you
i do
i love you
all i'm saying pretty baby
la la love you, don't mean maybe
all i'm saying pretty baby..."

--Pixies

Snowy days...

It snowed the last few days--and it actually
stuck! For Albuqueruque, that's a big deal! It
was nice to have a snow day though! Craig and
Angus built a snowman while Bombs and I stayed
in and kept warm. We also took our hoilday family
photo by the snowman-- super cute!

After Angus was picked up, Craig and I got to
hang out and play together... it was so nice to
cuddle and laugh and keep eachother warm! We
also cooked a delicious meal together-- pistachio
crusted pork, wild mushroom rice, broccoli and
sage + olive oil butternut sqaush... a half a pan
of brownies for dessert. I had a FABULOUS day!

I also got a new cd, Elvis Costello-Almost Blue, an
album full of country covers...all great songs. Todays
song is from the album.


"Oh you recall that little girl mama?
I believe her name was Betty Clark...
Oh don't tell me that she's dead, mama
'Cause I just saw her in the park.
We were sitting on a bench, mama
Thinking of a game to play...
Seems I was holding a wrench, mama
Then my mind just walked away...

You think I'm psycho don't you mama?
I didn't mean to break your cup.
You think I'm psycho don't you mama?
Mama why don't you get up?"

--Elvis Costello

TIGHTLY

I got to hang out with some friends
on Saturday-- Erica and Michelle.
It was fun to catch up!
We also had lunch in Santa Fe
@ Cafe Tecolate on Sunday with the
family... that was nice, but I forgot
to take pics of the delicious food.
Oh well, next time.

Here's some beautiful Neko...

"When I'm walkin' under stars
I covet all the waning hours
All the lonely houses stand like monuments
to thieves...

When I'm walkin' in the dark
I'm free to covet all I want
You've made it all so very dangerous--
I can't stay away.

When I'm walkin' under trees
I'm free to covet all I please
New moons in the alley
and it's madness calls to me

Tonight, tonight, tonight...

If I meet you in the night
You're free to covet all you like
Don't you try and stop me
I cling tightly to this life."

--Neko Case

Christmas Pug Love

Here's myself and Bombay by the Christmas tree...

Girl Inform Me...

I'm just about done done with my Newsboy Cap,
just finishing up the brim. I'll post a pic
to show it's cuteness!

Also, our Christmas tree went up last night.
It's so pretty-- red, silver and white. Craig
took some pics of me with Bombs, so those will
go up sometime today as well.

I love these guys...

"Girl inform me all my senses warn me
Your clever eyes could easily disguise
Some backwards purpose
It's enough to make me nervous.
Do you harbor sighs, or spit in my eye

But your lips when we speak
Are the valleys and peaks of a mountain range on fire.
So let me walk these coals till you believe
I can cut the mustard well enough
Cause you know as soon as breathe we scrutinize

Unknown quotients, you must be using potions
How else could you tie my head to the sky
This new convection has left me wondering why
I can't concern myself with ordinary tripe"

--the Shins

My new knitting project 'Mystifies Me'

just kidding. I did start a new project though.
It's a super cute Newsboy Cap-- recommended by
my pal Lori. I may post some pics of the hat once
it's done-- we'll see how it turns out.

--ok, Newsboy is done, it came out ok-there are some
random lumps, but I'll probably
try again. Here's a pic of how it turned out, and some
other cute hats I've made:



As for todays music, this is a song Craig and I used
to listen to when we first got together... swoooon.
I LOVE him.

"Stay a while and work it out with me, we got time and we can
talk, too. Give me a sign, I'll take your word, I'll learn
anything you want me to. That is all I'm lookin to ya for,
all I'm askin' that you simply do. Take it, leave it, make things
matter, let in all my breath away. Take it all apart and put it
back, I am always left here lookin' at you.

You look so fine, true, you look so fine,I would not lie to you...

Let me see you, let me know your dreams, won't you please
give out a sign things you say make me look through you, no
one mystifies me like you do. This is why I always look at you,
and I hold you to it every day.

You look so fine, true, no one mystifies me like you do
You look so fine, true, no one mystifies me like you do"

--Son Volt

Plastic Flowers on the Highway

I love the the Truckers...

"My community service had me working for the county
Cutting grass on the off-ramps and medians and such.
Every quarter mile or so, stands a brand new reminder
Another traffic death in town. Something new to cut around.
Crashed out on the highway. Plastic cross and a plastic bouquet.
Paramedics in the by-stander's gaze.

Plastic flowers on the highway. Bits of glass for the machine to sweep away.
Had to pass it on my way to where I'z going.
For the next few minutes I drove a little slower."

-Drive-By Truckers

Bombs in his red coat...

Here's Bombay in his winter coat, looking oh-so handsome!
Here's one of of us being silly... ok, me being silly, him
HAVING to take another picture.

Los Angeles

This song kicks ass... I've seen Exene perform
with the Original Sinners and Dave Alvin with the
Guilty Men--in Manhattan for free!-, but never any
shows with all the members... maybe someday. My pal
and her husband saw them a few years ago @ the
Hootenanny Festival...luckies.

"she gets confused
flying over the dateline her hands turn red
cause the days change at night
change in an instant
the days change at night
change in an instant

she had to leave
los angeles
she found it hard to say goodbye to her own best friend
she bought a clock on hollywood blvd the day she left
it felt sad, it felt sad
it felt saaaaaaad
she had to get out, get out"

--X

Not Ready To Make Nice...

I like the Dixie Chicks, no matter what anyone says.
I've been digging this song lately, especially since it's
about the backlash of Natalie Maines saying she "is
ashamed our president is from Texas." Who can blame
her-- he is pretty damn embarrassing. This tune has
been overplayed some might say, but it's got some pretty
powerful lyrics.

"I made my bed and I sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don’t mind sayin’
It’s a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they’d write me a letter
Sayin’ that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over...

I’m not ready to make nice
I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and
I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right
I probably wouldn’t if I could
‘Cause I’m mad as hell
Can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should..."

--Dixie Chicks

Cat & Dogwa

This is the cat that invades our home at night.
She comes in through Bombay's doggie door and
he does absolutely nothing about it. Most of the
time she's harmless, but sometimes she'll raise hell
and try and get at the trash.


Here are some "action" shots of Bombay enjoying
his bone. He has them all over the damn house...




Empty Baseball Park...

"Stumble past the record store
End up at the movies.
Try and think of something else.
Nothings comin to me.

You do this to me.
You do this and I oblige.
And I fight it."

-Whiskeytown

Spiderbite

I love the Lips... Wayne's voice is absolutely
beautiful! The feelings and story behind this song
are incredibly touching and sad. But, it's still
a fabulous song!

"When you got that spider bite on your hand
I thought we would have to break up the band
To lose your arm would surely upset your brain
The poison then could reach your heart from a vein

I was glad that it didn’t destroy you
How sad that would be
Cause if it destroyed you
It would destroy me..."

-- Flaming Lips

The Ocean Breathes Salty...

"Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in.
In my head, in my heart, in my soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so.

Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.
Collected my belongings and I left the jail.
Well thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell.
I had to think awhile. I had to think awhile.

The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so."
-Modest Mouse

--but you probably already knew that, right?

Duran's 'Speed Law'.

"I melt the ice grills into rainwater puddles,
make the proud-hearted leave on the humble
black steel in the hour. Assemble my skill form my power.
My poems crush bones into powder, you mumble like a
coward --I'm Mos Def, you need to speak louder.
SUPER HEROES!
Get your power, your masks and capes snatched-
Brooklyn take what you can't take back, I know a lot of
cats hate that- All I can say black...
there's a city full of walls you can post complaints at.
All the doubters and believers adjust your receivers,
"I feel it," you can taste it through the speakers
The three six oh-riginal sketch lyrics so visual
They rent my rhyme books at your nearest home video"
-Mos Def

Today's music choice is an awesome writer, rapper
+ actor. 'Speed Law' is one of my favorite Mos Def
songs, and I particularly enjoy it driving to work in
the mornings. Appropriately enough, we spotted this
"ride" on our way back from a delicious breakfast at
Duran's Central Pharmacy.






Today, I enjoyed Huevos Rancheros with red chile,beans,
boiled (?) and mashed potatoes + homemade tortillas.
Craig had chicken enchiladas with red and green and
beans with a ton of cheese. It was fabulous as always!
Duran's packs and ships their products as well... excellent
Christmas gift ideas!

Maybe Sparrow

I've decided I'm going to post a piece of
a favorite song everyday. I adore sooooo
many musicians, so the selection will be
very random.

"Oh my sparrow it's too late
Your body limp beneath my feet
Your dusty eyes cold as clay
You didn't hear my warning..."
-Neko Case
