Taquito de Enzo 2008-05-28 12:31:17 On the occasion I do not feel like cooking, I can usually whine my way to my favorite little burrito place. I get the tacos. Hubby gets the carne asada burrito. And Enzo gets the chicken taquitos. Don't worry. It's just chicken and corn tortilla and strangely enough falls within the guidelines of his diet. It's all that chips, salsa and cervesa that blow it for him.
A Simple Kind of Life 2008-05-28 11:00:57 Have you ever heard the song Simple
kind of life by No Doubt? When it came out one line in that song would bother me almost every time: "I always thought I'd be a Mom. Sometimes I wish for a mistake. The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get. You seem like you'd be a good dad." It came out, what, five years ago? I can only assume that I was feeling that mom/biological clock itch. I do not

Skinny is for Whimps 2008-05-21 13:39:56 The other day I had a photo shoot for a modeling gig I got through my agent. (Did I neglect to add that tid-bit o' info about me to my bio?) So the day before I tried to behave. Eat only good healthy foods. Avoid the potato chips and salty fare. Nothing deep fried. Ya know, be a gooooooood giiiirrrlllll. And I kinda succeeded. I only had to suck my tummy in like crazy a little bit.Of course then a
Sleeping One Off 2008-05-21 12:44:44 The other day we got home from lunch out to find Enzo sleeping all tangled up on the bed. Normally he freaks out and does the curly shuffle when we come home, but he didn't even move. Now correct me if I am wrong, but I think I count more then four little paws there. And where did the rest of his ear go? And who drank all my wine?!? Read more:Sleeping
Weatherman Says it's Gonna Get Hot Tonight 2008-05-19 16:38:01 Dear Brother o' mine (and all my friends and family in cold weather states), Remember how when we talked on the phone back in February, you told me "I can not believe it's snowing again! I have already had to shovel the driveway three times, I was just headed out for my fourth turn at it. And it is freaking cold out - freeeezing I tell you. Insane. So anyway, what's up? How are you?"And I was all Read more:Tonight

I am the Lizard King - I Can do Anything 2008-05-16 14:39:06 Meet Morrison.At least that's what I have resolved to call him. And the other (2013) lizards in my yard. When we first met however, when he decided to leap out of my watering can as I was trying to retrieve it to attend to my herbs, I referred to him as arrggghhhh what the fark you scared the sheet outta me you little ASS Buuuuuuuuddy. When he first came running, my hubby though I was attack Read more:Lizard
Here Comes Summer... and Can She Be a BITCH 2008-05-16 10:01:54 The past few days here have been blissful! We had an impromptu thunderstorm tear through and clean the air here in the East Valley, and give all of nature a well needed bath. THe cool breezes every morning have been out of this world. Enzo has been really digging his all day sleep-a-thons little naps by the front door. Which come Sunday will act as a huge magnifying glass and cook his little brain Read more:Summer
Color Inspiration 2008-05-14 11:15:53 When I first decided to re-design my site, the main thing I wanted was new colors for my logo. I have been plodding my way through 1000 blue, pink and white business cards for what felt like 325 years. I liked the design and the colors then, and truthfully still do - but I needed a change. And my site needed a face lift as well.Often when looking for inspiration I head outside. It is where I am ha Read more:Color

The Champagne of Toasters 2008-05-13 20:30:00 For about the past two-ish years, I have enjoyed the morning company of my Back to Basics Egg and Muffin Toaster. This love affair had baffled my husband, because this toaster is what I refer to as a cheat. If it makes kitchen duty faster and more convenient - it has been, in my eyes, a cheat. Microwave? CHEAT! Garlic press? CHEAT! Pre-packaged chopped onions? CHEATTTTTT! But at 5:30 am - I loved Read more:Champagne
Happy Mother's Day 2008-05-11 18:30:09 Awww isn't my little boy clever?! He did graduate milkbone cum laude ya know. With the help of my hubby, he also bought me some beautiful roses. He made the Chateau Brione by himself though. Read more:Happy

Hiatus-Schmiatus 2008-04-23 12:09:02 When I decided to re-do my site and incorporate the blog back in I didn't realize what a beeotch it would be. Trying to get this done, do my regular work, work on my commissions and have a meal every so often... something had to give. Food would not be what gave either. (I tried that once. I. was. a. beast.)So were looking at mid May maybe? Please oh PLEASE before June. I'm plugging away, but ya k Read more:Hiatus
Lemon Boys 2008-04-09 19:23:10 No these are not the typical heirloom tomatoes I usually grow, but I came upon this variety last year. And MMmmm are they delicious. I only did one plant last year and so my bounty did not keep up with my demand. This year, against the better judgment of the little plastic plant marker that was in the 6-pack, I put three plants per pot. (Two are here, but I have another). And have my cages on sta Read more:Lemon

He sat still just long enough for me to shoot this photo before he sneezed devil snot on my lens. Don't get that close momma, I am diablo grande! Read more:Devil

But I tell you I had to check the calendar to see if it was April Fools Day. It is a serious sad state of the world when we think that
Monday Musings 2008-06-02 14:57:02 A weekend in review if you will. And quite frankly you have no choice.Friday morning, my ISP decided to take a vacation and didn't tell anyone they were leaving. They didn't completely leave, just parts of it did. Like the parts of it that it takes for me to log onto my site and UPDATE. The little parts it takes to receive EMAIL! The teeny tiny little parts of it it takes to simply oh I don't know Read more:Monday

Larger Then Life 2008-06-02 14:44:04 Sundays are best spent in reflection, while lying in the cool grass of the back yard.Did I finish that chicken jerky?Did I remember to take my 2:00 nap?I think I went on a walk today. I may need another.Ahhhh the dog days of summer are not too far off. Every day for Zo is a dog day tho.
Pink Lemonade - .50 Cents 2008-06-07 14:10:29
One of my favorite pieces of shrubbery art in my backyard. The Pink Lemonade
Honeysuckle. This photo does not even do it justice. It has a light scent, but the flowers. Oh the flowers are just exquisite. Pink and orange and a touch of yellow, as you may already know, are some of my favorite colors. It brings butterflies and humming birds to my already pretty populated garden. I. Love. It.Ev
Bedroom Eyes 2008-06-06 19:14:32 I. Prefer. A made bed. Then again there are some of us who look at an unmade bed and see it as an invitation for all day slumber. I wish that that could be me. Whenever the call goes out have you seen Enzo? We check all the usual haunts, but always seem to end up finding him in bed.Like he is John Lennon or something. Read more:Bedroom
Mountain High Arizona 2008-06-11 14:24:57 Greetings from Sunny Arizona
! Actually I am writing you from my sister-in-laws cabin in the beautiful mountains 2 hours north of hades the valley. Its a breezy 72 degrees, as opposed to the 110 degrees back home.I have taken tons of photos and have eaten tons of food and drank tons of alcohol beverages and we have done so much. Will fill everyone in as soon as I get home. Have not forgotten about Read more:Mountain
Mountain Chuhuahua's Run Ramped in Flagstaff 2008-06-18 17:39:58 The early morning temperature in Flagstaff was about 50 degrees. So needless to say our morning walks were long and drawn out and WONDER. FULL. But every damn sound. Every bird. Every falling pine cone. Every leaf blowing in the wind caught Zo's attention. We had to stop and make sure we weren't being followed or attacked. Which was fine for me - as we were ascending a road with a 14 degree slope Read more:Mountain
Meet the Grackles 2008-06-17 14:35:51 Well it turns out that while I was enjoying the cool breezy days in Flagstaff, we acquired some new neighbors. And they are greedy, loud and obnoxious. They ate all the existing tomatoes I had beautifully ripening up on my bushes, then proceeded to chew up the leaves and plants themselves. Obviously someone was raised in a barn. Meet the Grackles:Photo curtosy of would have taken a photo of them
Cause You Just Can't Recharge When it's 110 2008-06-16 12:59:09 Well my week long retreat to the cool fresh air of the mountains came to a screeching halt and now I am back in hell home and rejuvenated and ready to get to it. For those of you who don't know, the "Valley" of Arizona can be subject to glass fusing temperatures from May through September. Which isn't that bad when you go from air conditioned house to air conditioned car to air conditioned store t Read more:Cause

Here come the Monsoons! 2008-06-26 15:37:11 Yesterday we enjoyed the first storm produced by the Monsoon this summer. Was it a doozie! It literally came out of nowhere, typical of these storms. Radar only showed a few small storm cells, and the news merely talked about a dust storm. But every year at this time, Mother Earth get's her panties in a bunch and decides to jerk around with the National Weather Service. Which is fine by me. We did
Oh AeroGarden - How Do I Love Thee 2008-06-24 14:00:11 Time for the weekly AeroGarden update. I have to say I am pretty impressed by this thing! I have grown herbs from seed before and I did NOT have this kind of growth. This photo was taken 9 days from date of planting. (Sorry I missed the week point, future updates will come by the week.)Whoa nelly! Growth! I know it looks small, but to get that kind of growth in just 9 days is pretty amazing! I wis
Youth, Beautiful Youth 2008-06-23 20:39:41 Yesterday morning my wonderful hubby woke up and walked in to my studio where I had been since 6 am and said "Good morning - would you like to go see George Michael tonight?" I then said "Serious?" Which is my response you will find to most of his ideas.He smiled "Yea. I know how bad you wanted to go."So we started looking for tickets. $500 a pop - best available 30 rows back. EH. I love you Georg Read more:Beautiful
