Only in Mexico
November 19, 2009 | 2:41 pm
I’ve been absent for a minute…or two. Did I tell y’all about my sister? She is on a Fulbright teaching exchange in Tijuana, Mexico. She’s got a blog. A blog you should read. Her latest adventure has got me totally jealous. To cut to the chase: she hooks up with some guys that are participating in the Baja 1000 and ends up hauling ass through the dark desert, under a starlit sky, beer in hand. Only in Mexico.

This is…a public service…ANNOUNCEMENT!
May 28, 2009 | 6:20 pm
This is a message I received from the No More Deaths organization. If you are in the area and can help that would be awesome. If you want to donate money (nomoredeaths.org) that would be awesome too. If you want to send stuff over to me to haul out there that would also be awesome. This sis and I are going back to the desert to hike the trails starting June 13th. We’ll be out June 27th. They need socks, underwear and non-perishable food items. It’s all on the site.

The chickens have landed
May 20, 2009 | 4:23 pm
Okay, I suck. I haven’t done much knitting as my yard and gardens have taken up most of my time. Today I got a call. THE call. My chickens were at the post office. I didn’t receive warning that they had shipped so I was scrambling a little. I had to finish putting together the coop but we got it done. Moms came over to help and I was glad she did. For your viewing pleasure:
There are three more breeds of chickens that I need but I am trying to be patient and find them locally. Patient is not my thang.

Wat?
April 6, 2009 | 2:11 am
I’m not there, I’m here. Ireland. Dublin to be exact. At least for the moment. This afternoon we are heading to Belfast and then on up around the coast. I am ready to do some relaxing driving. I had only one near miss so far and that can’t even be classified as my fault, really. A bus crowded my right hand turn and instinct took over to stick to the curb so as not to get smooshed which put me into oncoming traffic. All that time spent watching Starsky & Hutch paid off though and all is well. Nobody even honked or screamed! The Irish are so polite. Must be rubbing off on my people as they didn’t scream either. Although, really, that’s probably due to my mad driving skillz more than anything. After that we hit the pub. We all needed a Guinness to calm ourselves. Sorry about the pic. I am posting from my phone.
