Sunset on the last day of 2009

I've finally scrounged a few minutes to get the most recent pictures off my camera. They were of the sunset on New Year's Eve - a particularly pretty one and a great way to end the year.

This first one is just before the color really started. I am especially fond of the clouds around the mountains. We do not have clouds often, so they are that much more fun to see.


This I love for the beautiful colors and again the clouds.


Hope the new year is finding everyone well!
Happy Blogging!

Falling in Love in the Desert...

Image
I've had a busy few years. I am a new teacher; I've changed grade levels every year, which is like being a new teacher all over again. If you know any new teachers, please give them a hug (if they like hugs), or a Starbucks, and please forgive them if they have no idea what is going on in any part of their life; it's a crazy thing to be a new teacher, and nothing can prepare you for what it's really going to be like, nothing. I have survived three years of teaching, I am almost past the point where most new teachers burnout, that's another exciting accomplishment.

I've moved - again, but I have stayed in one spot for three years now, that's the longest I have been anywhere that didn't involve going to school and staying with my family. I think I might even be starting to put roots down. My post label "ramblings of a reluctant desert rat" doesn't seem appropriate anymore. I'm not reluctant, I'm building a life; that seems so weird f…

Disaster Pending - I am going to make stuff, like toothpaste,

So, the other night when I was supposed to be working on a history assignment, I had this thought.  Why am I not making more of my own stuff?  As in, why am I spending all this money on hair care products (most of which do not help as advertised), toothpaste, body wash, etc.  So, again instead of working on my history assignment (sorry professor) I posed this question on my personal Facebook account,

I have been tossing around the idea to try making my own beauty products (shampoo, etc). I know a few of you out there do this already, ideas on recipes??

I was surprised, though I guess I should not have been, at how many responses I received and I started thinking that perhaps this crazy plan might be worth trying.  Then I saw this documentary on Netflix called No Impact Man about this guy who decided to try and eliminate his carbon footprint and take his family along the for the ride.  My family is not as supportive as his, and honestly I do not see myself as that dedicated.  I would lik…

Caturday, a shop update, and I freak out a little...

Image
Okay, so I sort of tricked you with the shop update thing.  But, you are getting to see Fiesty again.  She hasn't made an official blog appearance in awhile, though she is a featured star on my Instagram feed.

I am working on the shop.  Well, mostly I am working on getting stuff ready for my show in May, which is also stuff that will go in the shop, so I guess you could say I am a multi-tasking girl these days.

I have to say though regarding both, it is increeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedible how many little details are involved in setting up for a show and in getting a little online shop ready for business.

I have had some moments like these along the way....

What do you want your shop name to be? Sounds easy, but it took me a really long time to finally settle on mine. I mean, I know I can change it, but I wanted to find something I could stick with.  What kind of description do you want your customers to see? Uh.... I have discarded many, many, many... many.... ideas and still working.  I …
