I'm pretty sure that they were trying to tell me that it was time to try again. My last venture into enchiladas was only semi-successful. They were palatable, but only with dramatic on-plate doctoring. I've been hesitant to try again only because I

It can't be wrong when it feels so right.

Nipple roses are fascinating from every angle.

I am mourning by sorting through photos I've taken. Join me in my melancholy. And a repeat from my last post, but this time with color editing:

This is all I do lately. Eat, sleep, poop, take pictures, repeat.

This is a collection of black and white images I've created from my many random meanderings through urban neighborhoods. And one with a little color, for fun.

Another walk. Late winter/early spring rains are making conditions ideal.

I took a slow walk in the rain today. I took a lot of pictures. My favorites are behind the cut, but you are warned, they are not for the faint of connection speed:

If you've been reading around here, you know that we're not exactly raking in the dough. I'm unable to work and my disability stipend doesn't adequately cover my prescriptions, dietary requirements or a myriad of other medical costs. Being sick is expensive, and choosing between food, electricity and pain relief is difficult. But it's come to my attention that the internet is big. And within the

I took a slow walk to my extremely local farmers' market last weekend. I took pictures on my phone, knowing that I would welcome the distraction of looking for things to shoot. First, I focused on fall. My favorite season, for the colors.  I was blessed to have a few benches along the way to take a short rest. I needed it. And then the bench itself made me smile. Just a simple

My sweet little dog, Baby, was cuddled next to me, sleeping. Suddenly she started hurking. Hurking is what I call the repetitive dry heaving my dog does before she actually throws up. So, she started hurking and I asked her, "Are you gonna throw up?" She looked back at me evenly, but didn't respond. The hurking continued, but didn't get worse, which it usually does. I realized she actually had

I love my new Blackberry. Of course, it hasn't crashed on me yet, something that I've been told is inevitable. So, we've backed it up and sworn to be vigilant. And with any luck we won't forget to back it up again for another six months until I have a bunch of really great pictures and awesome, obscure ringtones and it explodes. That's usually when I remember to back things up. Also, the

July, 2006. It was very late on a very warm summer night. The boyfriend and I had had a fight and I was walking it off. There were a lot of stray/wild animals in the little suburb we were living in, so hearing the movements of little paws in the dark wasn't all that alarming, at first. It could be a dog, a possum, or a stupid cat (you never hear the smart ones). None of them usually bothered me,

I've developed a deep, dark, lustful need to garden. And eat what I reap. NOM NOM!In March, I started gardening. I grabbed a tomato off a dead plant in my parents' front yard and planted the seeds. I ended up with 30-something seedlings. I've since potted five and have a whole lot more that I'm trying to find homes for. In April, I bought a zucchini at a farmer's market and a purple basil.My

Since becoming hugely inconvenienced by a disabling chronic illness that I talk all about here, my life has changed almost completely. It is a difficult transition, learning to live with pain, and I'm doing my best. In this blog I plan to talk about everything but my head. I'm sure it'll come up, but it's not the focus.Since the headache started, my old hobbies and plans flew out the window. So,
