Hi, friends! Sorry about the missing blog posts these past few days… apparently recovering from a Chibication is rather dramatic. ANYWHO.
After a two week stint visiting my sister, I’ve decided that New Mexico is filled with Crazy, and here’s why:
1. They sell these in their stores. (Oh yeah, that’s blown glass fowl. I’ll give you a dollar if you display this in your home.)
2. They think this is good advertising:
3. I had to convince Chibi that we should not let this little guy hang out on her back porch:
4. They think passive voice makes for effective signage:

your butt would have been kicked by me if I'd have been there when you ordered this sign. Crazy AND Gross.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: I’m not a Baptist hater… There’s no wrong way to get to God. Just please, PLEASE get someone to proofread your sign before you post it in front of your church!)
And finally, they sell angora bamboo yarn for two bucks a skein!
And that’s why, friends, I’m glad to be back in sane (see what I did there?) Washington, DC, where a gallon of milk costs six dollars, it takes an hour to drive two miles, and your rent is twice that of your New Mexican neighbor’s mortgage. Ahhh, welcome home, me! })i({
I think John should proudly display that blown glass fowl! It’s almost like the ladybug that he didn’t mind 😉 I soooooooo woulda bought it for him!!!
uh thats a black widow spider. highly poisonous. not good.
sweet yarn deal though.
I think the blown glass rooster is pretty!
Picture #2 is awesome! Do people dress like that in New Mexico? Did you see any Earthships?
Uhm, yes. People do indeed dress like that in New Mexico. It also smells like sh*t in New Mexico, depending on which way the wind blows of course. And no, there weren’t any Earthships this time. I tried to get Chibi to take me back to the Roswell museum (think high school science projects and “exact replicas of possible crash site debris”), but we went to Sonic instead. *grin* })i({
