Albuquerque Adventures!

I love how almost everytime Omar and I go to Taco Bell, we end up with some scrazy even. (That is my new word for scary and crazy.) So, as you all probably know, Omar has to carry his band's equipment in a trailer. Well, that makes getting food (or going anywhere, for that matter) a tad challenging. We always must hunt around for a place where we can park the trailer. Wellllllll, we decided to go through Taco Bell because they didn't appear to have any sort of rooftop over their drive thru window. Well, everything went smoothly- we ordered our food, and proceded to drive forward. That's when the trouble began. You see, pulling around a tight drive through corner with a large trailer on the back of your pick up doesn't work out too well. We began to drive forward, and thankfully, no one was behind us because we had to do several reverses to get over the curve. Fortunately, we made it through - much to my dismay! I was pretty embarassed over the fact that on one of the turns, we hit one of those little pole things they have sitting next to the intercom. It was actually pretty funny. I could have SWORN we were going to get in trouble, but I couldn't help but laugh. We got to the window and the guy who took our order was laughing, also. So that was a plus. He also gave us a larger drink than we ordered just because he thought it was cool! Then, however, we had trouble pulling away. It was a little mor difficult than before as there was a car behind us. Everything went alright and eventually we ended up at the venue. It was fun.

The show was nice. Fields of Elysium hasn't performed in like a month and a half. The show was really small though. Unfortunately the entire parking lot was filled up because the karate place had a tournament so we had no place to park the trailer. We ended up parking in a sketchy alleyway that had people wondering down it. (And if you know Albuquerque, you know it is no place to hang out in an alley. ha) Hopefully their CD will be released soon - I will let you know when it is! My brother wants to sell it in his music store in North Dakota so that would be great - national exposure! He said he would even play it on the stores stereo system, so thats exciting. Now we just need to get it released!

My cats are driving me crazy, but I love it. I really missed them last night! I was glad to get home and give them a big ol' hug - and get my arms scratched off in the process.

Coffee and homework time!

I hope ya'll are staying on top of this presidency. I know I am. I find it really fascinating, and I know from experience that once you don't pay attention to a president anymore, it is difficult to understand what is truly going on in your country.

Much love!! I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend!
