I think I'm in danger...

of becoming a REAL desert rat!?! How did THAT happen?

I was sitting outside today on what I would have previously thought of as a really, hot nasty day and caught myself saying... ahhhhh... I think this is nice.

I'm finding it harder and harder to resist liking it here. Whatever will I do!? It is kind of difficult to stay hardened to a place that produces a lizard running through your garden and quail that take dirt baths. Okay, not convinced?

Well, I am finding that this spring in particular is winning me over to the darkside. I mean look at the pic below.

I would have never even thought about trying to take something that showed the desert off this way a year ago. I may be doomed.

Thank you! It is one of my favorite shots of the year so far!

I am starting to actually enjoy my little neighborhood, especially the empty lots which seem to house all kinds of interesting little critters.

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little.

I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Maybe you've been wondering...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
