Falling Stars

Some of the reasons why I love New Mexico:

1. Clear skies
2. Falling Stars
3. Lots of physical activies
4. Friendly People
5. Warm days without humidity

Deposits

What is up with deposits? Why do we have to pay them? Especially if you have good credit. But they don't even check you credit, they just want you to pay tons of deposits.
For water we have to pay a $90 deposit
For gas we have to pay a $220 deposit
and for Electric we have to pay a $75 deposit.

Who has a random $385 to pay in deposits and then another $45 of fees for reconnecting everything!? It's super crazy.

Sorry, just a little stressed. We would normally be fine but also moving out of the apartment and moving into the house brings on more fees of breaking a lease and paying one full month ahead also for the house. It's just been a stressful week. Anyway, sorry for worrying about finances on the blog, I just think it's silly to have to pay over $400 to start your services. My bills are each about $15 each for the month though, so hopefully it won't be bad once we have the utilities without the deposits.

Anyway, my countdown to vegas has begun. I am leaving May 1st which is a week away! I can't wait!

Tumbleweed!

My Ode to Tumbleweed:

Oh Tumbleweed,
Why do you like to make my commute so long?

Oh tumbleweed,
Why do you roll down the road with such ease?

Oh Tumbleweed,
Why do you like to scratch the cars?

Oh Tumbleweed,
I thought you were only in cartoons!



So, that huge tumbleweed that is above is about the size of tons of tumbleweed all over the city. I have never seen tumbleweed like that or new that it was real. I drive by wal-mart and see them stacked against the fence. Or driving down the road and everyone slows down to about 30 mph because it's on the side of the road. It's really annoying, but it's so cool to see such big tumbleweed!

Flea Market take 2

So, this weekend was another drill weekend...which means it's a boring weekend for the wives. Well three of us got together and went to the flea market. The first time David had drill my friend Dom and I went, but it was way cold so their were only about 15 vendors. Well, it was in the 70's this past weekend and Dom, Tommy, and I went to the flea market and they had over 100 vendors! It was so much fun! Well I got some real good finds...and SO cheap! I LOVE bargains. My 1st and most favorite thing is Kokopelli.

You can google Kokopelli and learn all about him, but he's way cool and we got three of them. One medium size one, and two small ones that face each other. We are going to put them off in the front room.
My second find was super cheap and super yummy and ripe fruit.

It pretty much looks like that and I paid like $3. I love flea/farmers markets. My last find is one of David's favorites. In New Mexico, green chili is a must! We got fresh roasted green chili. It may look so disgusting, but you pop it into the microwave and put some salt on it and it's soooo yummy.

It's a huge success and if anyone wants to visit we will show you some of our favorite things.
Our favorite pizza place, Dion's, has the BEST pizza and our favorite way is pepperoni with green chili.

It's so yummy. It's the new mexican thing to put green chili on everything. You can get here at McDonald's a double cheeseburger with green chili. Who would have thought!? But so, the new mexican way of life is pretty good, as long as you don't get me talking about their driving!
