Our A/C in the house was not very good a keeping the place cool. So we bit the bullet and got a Master Cool. For thse who live in EL Paso, know you cannot survive without a cooling system.
They came to install the unit this moring. I tried to take pictures but I got some ugly looks. So I just ducked back in the house. :P

Beauty Divine
It's a rare and beautiful thing when an performance moves me to tears. It even rarer when it gets set in my heart and plays in my mind every now and again. One such performance was Shizuka Arakawa's long program in this year's winter games.
When I first saw it I was still working nights at Comfort Suites. NBC would replay the evening show late at night. I would wait to watch it and avoid all contact of results that would spoil it for me. So there I was all alone, folding laundry. As each skater went up, I found their performances, good but not the best.
Then she came to the ice and a hush came over the crowd. Vanessa Mae's Fantasy On Puccini's Turandot, played as Arakawa floated along. Each move filled with her emotions touching all who watched. I was entranced, each spin, each jump drew me into the story she wove on her blades. As she came near to the close a tear ran down my face as I felt my heart strings tug at the sheer beauty of her masterpiece. It was perfection, and the world thanked her for it!

Shizuka Arakawa is now and will forever be my favorite Figure Skater!

A Desert Wonder
There is nothing more welcomed then a summer shower here in the harsh desert. I perched on the window seat and watched with anticipation as the first few drops fell from the heavens. Each one falling faster and faster rising to the climax of nature's symphony. A warm breeze floated about creating a dance of air and water. I took a deep breath letting the crisp scent of the air fill my nostrils.
A smile came to my face, knowing that rain showers like this are life's little wonders. Each one should be cherished, because you never know when it may come back again.

Lookie what I found!
I was goiong though my old archives and found a bunch of pictures. Some very few people have had the chance to see. So, I thought why not share them with the world. My first installment is my brother's wedding. This took place in Lousiana on June 17, 2002. Its amazing how much my skills and camera have improved. Either way, its fun to revisit old memories.

Cheddar Goldfish
Ever wonder why we do things? Well, I have been question my own motives a lot lately. Like why did I leave Comfort Suites? Was it really me who was suffering or everyone else? And do I REALLY want to become a teacher? Everyone knows I dislike teenagers AKA "high schoolies."
Am I running my life or is everyone else running it for me. *sigh*
My mind is a mess right now. All jumbled and mixed up like the pouch of goldfish I'm eating. In the commercial Finn left his bag for his dream. Why can't I? I'm sure his cheddar family is hurting(a side from being eaten), but it didn't stop him. Ah, but then again we all can't be cute little tasty cheddar fish-shaped crackers, can we?
