Desert moon
The moon over the desert at night is such a magical thing to behold. My mind wanders to camp outs and late night walks of my youth. Old friends and fun times. The smell of camp fires, creosote, and sage.

Sandwiches and things.
So, my husband once told me that he thought the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches I make taste different. I proceeded to explain to him that the reason they taste different is because I put butter on them. I went on to explain that it was a hold-over from my school days, when us young kids would make our lunches early in the morning (or even the ( Read more... ) -
My heads came!
Heh. That sounds strange. Clint said it looked creepy when he opened the box and peeked at the contents. I was super excited and relatively amused.
Three (of six) heads were promptly put to use, holding leather masks. (One that needs it's feathers steamed and the leather bathed! Ahem, mom.) The other three are just tossed into my craft room for now ( Read more... ) -
Kitchen-ly Organization
The process (and it's one large, intimidating process, at that) to reorganize my kitchen is underway! My steel, two-tier, lazy-susan (special thanks to my older sister's gift card birthday present - yes, I KNOW that was MONTHS ago) arrived today, and was promptly assembled and put into use, allowing me to organize my spice cabinet (mostly). Jar'd ( Read more... ) -
Interviews
The Vet place still hasn't called me back about the receptionist position I applied for, which was the interview I mentioned a while ago. They had said they wanted an Aug 1st open date (and for those playing along, that date has passed) but they also said they were about 3 weeks behind. I figured I'll give them till the end of the month (or till I ( Read more... ) -
On weekends and organization
Saturday started out with the idea of organizing a single cupboard in my kitchen. This, in turn, became the daunting concept of reorganizing ALL of the cupboards in my kitchen, which was promptly interrupted by getting food prepped for dinner and was further interrupted by a movie, and then eating dinner. Needless to say, only one cupboard got ( Read more... ) -
Conversation of the day
While I was taking the scenic route around southern California, somewhere between Newport Beach and home (around Cajon), I noticed a lot of little thumps hitting the windshield of the truck.
Me: Eeeeew, all these bugs are hitting your windshield.
Him: It's not my fault. (The implication here that it is somehow my fault that the bugs are aiming for ( Read more... ) -
Hiking
When we first started talking about hiking the Radamacher trail, I knew I wanted to do it; I needed the workout. The thought of getting up at 5am (to start hiking by 5:30 so we could reach the summit by sunrise?) wasn't as appealing, but I still wanted to do it. Getting home after the movie ("Priest" OMG, it was amusingly bad. lol) past 11pm didn' ( Read more... ) -
Wonderland
I'm not Snow White but I'm lost inside this forest.
I'm not Red Riding hood bit I think the wolves are coming.
Don't mind the stiletto's I'm not Cinderella.
I don't need a knight so take off all your armor.
I don't believe in fairy tales.
I believe in you and me.
Take me to Wonderland...

"Get this. If war starts, I can't be drafted. I don't re-enlist, I go back to school, where it's just me and the hot chicks!"
