DJ COME HOME!

WORRIED OWNER DESPERATELY MISSES DJ! REWARD!!!

I have recently lost my dog D.J. Or, as we call her, Baby D. Her name stands for Dachsundicus Jiganticus because she looks like a giant weiner dog. Originally, though, I meant for it to mean Dutchess Judy because I thought the dog from Fox and the Hound was named Duke. Really, though, sh… Continue

To do or not to do? Being Type A makes you lose sleep.

You could say that I'm a little...Type A. That's not to say that my neuroses follow what society would like me to be Type A about but I have those tendencies nonetheless. Let's talk a little bit about being Type A first. There are two basic strategies: To approach success OR To avoid failure. You can be the best by beating everyone out or you can be the best by being the only one not to fail. Either way--you win. What I like about being Type A is that I win; who doesn't like it? Who doesn't wan… Continue

Talking Talons - Feathers, Painting, And Sun

Today was the first official day of volunteering I have done in...FOREVER. Really, not since the tenth grade have I bothered to step forward and do my civic duty. And not until today has it been so easy to be needed somewhere--even if you're not getting paid or forced to live with someone. Today me and Sarah went to Talking Talons bat, bird, and reptile refuge in Tijeras. It is located off of scenic Route 66 (NM SR 333) just East of the Tijeras village and west of Moriarity on the South Side. I… Continue

Mudbogging - Agabe Love for the Soul

I went to my friend's graduation out in Amarillo this last weekend. After flying out on Friday night, Saturday morning was pure chaos. There were 17 people sleeping in the house and the only one who had to be out early was the graduate. By the time we fed just the kids, it was time to go! The graduation itself was kind of lame, it was only a 2 hour ceremony where the Valedictorian and Salutariate were insanely accomplished. I almost fell asleep by the time they were done reading their accomplish… Continue
