Good Morning U.S.A.!!!!
The sun is setting further south these days. We’ve had our first snow flurry…
As Stevie would sing “As summer turns to fall…I’m not ready for the winter…it doesn’t matter at all…cuz I wear boots all summer long…”
My apartment faces West…I get to say Good Morning and Good Night to you every day.
What I wouldn’t do for one of Stas’ wet burritos! A gal can dream…
Today I finally sign in “the book” and have come up with a toast I’ll make this evening:
Today marks a special day
Despite my family being oh so far away!
I’m lucky to have found such special friends here,
And tonight we’ll toast our new beginnings with a Kazak beer!
I have made dinner with a lot of fresh food
Oh, I have fallen so hard for my little dude!
He is gorgeous, charming and loves to babble…
So now on to win again in SCRABBLE!
My engineering degree is what I attribute to my literary eloquence…
Did you know QAT is a word? Yes, it is…it’s a noun. Leaves of a shrub called “Catha Edalis”. Apparently the Yemen’s chew it or make tea out of this to get high…so, perhaps they don’t drink alcohol, but they sure have other alternatives…
I’ll write again soon.
Off to the babyhouse...

Wait ... that's not you. The lady in that picture is carrying a PURSE! Funny what happens to a woman when she has a child. When I had my first child, I began to wonder, "How the hell do I carry all this stuff?? It doesn't fit in my wallet!" I initially tried shoving everything in the baby carrier/car seat (yes, with the child), but that wasn't a good idea. Good for you! Next comes the minivan;)
Where would one in an American Desert come across some Catha Edalis?
congrats on the book signing!! I'll make a toast to you this evening. you look like a very happy mama. keep it up it looks good on you!

great pic of you....you look so chic. :)
I love your poem! I am a poet myself....who knew you were too!
I guess this is why we hit it off so well-and besides that , we loved your son right away after we met him too.
So glad we got to meet his very cool momma too. :)
