Ok. Three things. One, my husband converted my blog to Drupal and lost comments and entries. Slightly frustrating. Technology is suppose to make your life easier. Instead I find it makes you do twice as much in half as much time. Two, Boy am I tired. Exhaustion is becoming a pretty typical state for me. I have been trying to get into the shower for 48 minutes. Need to walk Kona but I can't muster the strength. Me, the baby and Kona are all horizontal. Funny things happen when when you lose sleep. Brain functions very differently. Three, crazy missing the southwest. Early in 07 we moved to DC for my job which I no longer hold. Anyway, we kept our house in Durango, just in case. Well, one baby, one job (my husbands) and one house later, we are selling the house. Our parachute. Our out clause. Now, my husband liked Durango more than I did. I liked NM much more. (You are suppose to like southern Colorado more, but I didn't). But today I would take either. It is just so very different from here. Like another world. Now most days, I can do it. Get up off the bed and walk into the hustle and flow of NOVA. (It is great to be in walking distance of three plazas and one metro ride from downtown DC). But some days, (like today), it is so hard. Before I lived in the southwest, I always thought that those pictures with bright oranges and turquoise skies were fake. But, they aren't. The day time skies are almost always bright blue and the sun is almost always shinning, the mountains really do look like watermelon in the evening light, and the smell of pinyon and juniper is really sweet. Now close your eyes and breathe deeply and take a trip to the high desert. Oh, and if you know anyone looking for a passive solar, 3 bed, 3 bath, horse property on just about 4 acres -- lemme know.
