A day in the life...

 I decided that I would take a few random photos to document my activities for the day. To begin with, I went to our local swap meet with a friend of mine.

 Can you believe they charge you to go potty? I wonder if I only had .53 cents if they would let me use the potty if I brought my own napkins?

 These were the smallest avocados I have ever seen in my life, I wonder if they have a Napolean complex?

And then of course this cute lil guy had one of the cutest mohawks I have ever seen.

So after going to the swapmeet, I met up with another friend for a quick bite of Ethiopian food, I was SUPPOSED to take a before pic of the delicious platter, but ummmm, yeah....I did not quite work out that way, so here is the aftermath.

From there I met with my dear friend Ghia to attend Chicano Park Day.

There was of course more to it than just these couple of pics, but I have run out of steam to post anymore pics or words. The only reason I am up right at the moment is due to the fact that a drunk driver lost control of their car & ran into the neighbors fence, drove through the yard and out the other side of the fence, where by the way my car or my friends car is generally parked. Luckily no one was injured & the police have recovered the car that was involved.

goodnight!

Writing for the sake of writing..just to say I did.

I saw this sign yesterday & the only thing I could think of was...should I risk crossingt & possibly need to buy a "special shampoo"?

Needless to say I took the risk & I am happy to report that I remain crab free!

Today I took my lil road warrior with me to the Farmer's Market where I sell my jewelry & although it was not a profitable day, it was a good day for Elijah to have a little happy hour time with a couple of friends. Elijah & Ezekiel~I feel a biblical diaper change coming on!

And of course after his happy hour libations, he was ready to take a well deserved nap.

Trying to get back into the saddle...

Okay....
I guess you can tell that I did not do very well with my effort to write every day. It's only been since Jan. 2010, but hey I dusted off my spurs & keyboard and trying to get back into the saddle to try & write a little bit. I apologize in advance as my mind is all over the place....so that means this is going to be a hodge podge of blogging~much like when you try to make a new meal out of week old left overs.

My brand new baby boy and I just returned from a trip to Michigan to see my mom. I got the little guy some headphones for the plane ride & of course any subsequent music festivals we decide to go to.

The image is a bit blurry, but what do you expect when the poor kid is trying to keep from falling over from the weight of the headphones? All he needs is two turntables & we will be raking in the dough baby!

Here is a shot of the Chicago skyline~even though we go to Michigan we always fly into Chicago, I guess it's less depressing than flying into Detroit.

My grandparents home has been in the family for many many many years & out of all the places I have lived, it is really the only one that I can remember the address to as well as the phone number. Unfortunately, the home is no longer in the family as of a week ago. I consider myself lucky to have been able to visit there one more time before it is no longer "ours". My favorite part was the barn & the weeping willow tree in the backyard. My grandpa built the barn as well as additions to the original house. While I was there I was able to uncover a couple of treasures to keep including a blue bottle & some horseshoes that once belonged to the horses that were once in the barn. (makes sense right?!)

Well, I guess that is about it for me right now. I know it was not the best reading or the most enlightening, but hey it's the best I can manage at the moment and hopefully it will get better in time. Off to bed I go!
