Sunday

Got up and hit the farmers market today.  The temperature was perfect and I was transported back to the stalls in Mexico. I just felt like I was home checking out the produce, listening to the people, hearing children laugh. No, I wasn't born in Mexico, but I feel like it's home when I'm there.  I know it's weird, but I just love it.

I picked up my spices, limes, watermelon, Jackfruit and chiles (for chile rellenos) and headed back to the truck. Windows down, music playin (Cruise), hair whipping in the wind. When I got home, I blended all of the watermelon for juice (morning and margaritas) and separated out the fruit in the jack fruit (big process) while talking with my cousin on the phone. Then headed to Elephant bar to meet up with my Girlie "R". It seems that we roll with the same kind of guy...the ones that don't believe that a girl can be chill and not freak out over the little things. There were too many similarities in our tales, but it's nice to know someone else is going through the same thing and can give perspective to things.

While having lunch, I got a call from "H", the ex-boyfriend's buddy in Iowa. I couldn't believe it! He and his girlie called to say hi, and wondered how I was doing.  I was totally floored...especially since I'm "persona non grata"  with the ex.  It was so cool to catch up and get an invite to come visit. Though, I know that won't be happening since it's an extremely small town and the ex would throw a snitfit.  Can't we all just get along?

After hitting up Costco for staples (tequila, olive oil, mozzarella, balsamic, etc), I came home and roasted peppers. I'm bound and determined to be in bed after this blog. I will be on Vin Diesel in the morning. I'm tired of getting on Vin when I'm exhausted and can't sleep.  This next week is gonna be a killer, the monkey will be dancing BIG TIME, so I need the workouts to keep my mind sharp, body on track and to stay frosty.  This week will require me to be on top of my game.  Already difficult, but more so after this past week.

I can also see that I'm going to have to pull out my stationary and do some physical writing. While I'm pretty honest on the blog, there's only so much I can pour out and the Internet is forever. So certain things belong with ink and paper.

Anyway, the evening is beautiful and I hope you're enjoying it with someone you love, or someone you're "into".
