I must admit, I never thought a bathroom could smell so pretty! That’s not to say that ours smelled bad per say, just that it was a bathroom and not exactly a room you would consciously wander into and take a deep whiff of. But after plugging in the Renuzit TriScents that arrived […]

We’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of rain this past week. In fact, just the other day Dona Ana country’s rainfall for the year tripled in a single day! That’s not really the bad thing though. Well, aside from the constant muggy feeling and the copious amounts of mud and standing […]

A lovely cold Route 44 strawberry, chocolate, Dr. Pepper; fresh onion rings, and a sonic burger. Life is good. Life is especially good since I’m still alive and breathing!
I swear my young life flashed before my eyes earlier. My mother recruited me to go with her to Staples since they’re having a sale on folders […]

I swear, it is a very good thing that my laptop has a very decent amount of memory and hard drive space. Why? Simply because I can that many pictures! Not to mention, I have a bucket load of goodies on my precious laptop as well. Can you believe that I have more music […]

Well we just wrapped up our 4th of July. None of us were particularly interested in watching our money go up in smoke (literally!) so we opted to enjoy the firework displays that our neighbors were putting on. Boy did they go all out. We were surrounded on three sides by a magnificent fireworks display. […]

I was cleaning the window screens earlier and decided to leave them outside to dry, since I dunked them in water and all. Well, when I went to bring them in a few minutes ago I seemed to have picked up a hitch hiker:
This little guy is a Solifugae also known as a “Sun Spider”. […]

Can you believe that the house is just now cooling off? Yeah, it was really hot today, but what’s worse is that the motor on the swamp cooler went kaput and we’re waiting for a new one to come in to replace it.
In the mean time, cold showers are my friend. It’s mega hot in […]

You’ve heard of the money shot1 right? Well this here is the Food Porn Shot!

Oh yeah, doesn’t that look yum? Look at those sexy fried chicken strips, simply to die for.
Tonight was one of the rare nights I felt like cooking dinner, and I mean cooking. I made the batter myself for those […]

Seriously, that was my immediate response to one of our neighbors this morning when he asked me what has to be one of the stupidest questions ever.
I was just outside clearing debris in front of the irrigation gate so that we could irrigate when a neighbor drove up. Now, see, we are literally right next […]

I love poinsettias, they have nice big green leaves and the flower itself is a rich vibrant red. Poinsettias also come in other colors, sure, but the classic red will always be my favorite. I love and like to have them in the house year-round, not just during Christmas. Now, there is a bit of […]

Yup, I had Mother’s day all planned out. Late lunch at Ruby Tuesdays, do some shopping, then catch a movie. Something real simple that would let us spend some time together. Especially since most sights and attractions seemed to close for today. But did she want to do any of this? Nope. She just […]
