New Mexico. (Im a slacker, I know!!)
New Mexico... what to say about New Mexico?! Well I'm glad I went, but cant say I'll ever go back again. Seriously it was hot and dirty and dry and HOT! Dottie was completely wrapped up in her WEIRD (really weird, recluse, hiding from the law or something kinda shit going on) boyfriend to the point where she left me at the bar one night with her friends (who I didn't know!) because he demanded she come over. I was PISSED! Who does that when you have a friend visiting for only 4 days!? I told her I was pissed AND I thought her boyfriend was a jerk-off for even asking her to come over when I was there!! Then another day when Dottie and I were supposed to go shopping around town, I was up and ready by 10 but of course Billy Bob Thorton (crazy weird BF) had spent the night... Sooo she didn't even come out of the bedroom till 1 in the afternoon!
Dottie sent me a driver to pick me up from the El Paso airport. I wasn't expecting a Limo or anything, but I also wasn't expecting a deaf 70 year old in a 1982 Cadillac either!! His backseat was overflowing with shit so I had to sit up front with him. And right away he mentioned that he was going to be stopping for gas and told me I could get lunch there if I needed, that's when I thought about asking him how long the drive was gonna be... he replied "oh just TWO AND A HALF hours!!!" ahhh I guess I'm so used to being, at the most 1 hour away from the airport!! Anyways about half hour into the drive I HAD to put my Ipod in cause he was blasting AM Conservative RIGHT wing talk radio!! I thought my ears were gonna start bleeding!! I wish I knew how to get pics on the comp from my cell cause I snuck a really good pic of my driver... think Elmer Fudd.
By the end her kids were driving me completely up the wall too! I think shes sooo wrapped up in work, her new bf and the custody battle that they are a tad bit neglected. Zack, her 7 year old is mentally about a 4 year old. (his teachers have even said that!) By the end of the 4 days, I just wanted to shake her and HIM cause I couldn't take his fake crying and fussing and her coddling him! Katherine was great, but I feel bad for her too. Thank god that Dottie's sister lives with them or they would be a mess of a family!
Anyways other then being frustrated with Dottie, things were pretty good. I got along good with her friend Jen, so we hung out lots. All the "dreamboats" that Dot told me about were seriously fugly, fugly, fugly! lol I snuck pics of them and posted them below! I came home with 2 awesome rings though, so NM was good for something!
I was very, very ready to come home. Home to places and houses that aren't adobe style with NO air conditioning. Home with trees and rivers and beaches. Home with people who AREN'T herbalist, vegans, republicans, dirty or artsy fartsy. HOME, I love the NW! =)
Please forgive because pictures are totally out of order... stupid blogspot!
Saying goodbye at the airport... Dot and Aubree. (no driver that time, thank god!)
The 22 year old "dreamboat" her friend Jen was dating. BARF. He was also super annoying and immature and I had to leave the room a couple times cause his voice gave me headaches!
Dot and her weirdo BF Kevin, but who knows if that's really his name... I'm suspicious!
View at the lake... It was more like a pond! 106 degree day... YUCK!
Zachery age 7 aka 4.
Beautiful Katherine!
Patrick, the "cute" guy Dot tried to set me up with. Cute if you like Mr. Rodgers type I guess?!
Jen and I at the bar... the night dot bailed after 1 beer.
The friends I really liked! Jen, Carrie and Dave.
THE END.

Random, Random updates.
Ive been going through books like CRAZY lately. Like I just finished a 500+ page book in 2 days. So today after work I decided to make a goodwill book run. Its hit and miss there, but when its a hit it just makes my WEEK! Today I found 2 books from 2 of my fav authors that I hadn't ever read and one that Id never heard of but sounded good! I don't understand people who buy books then decide to give them to goodwill, but I sure don't mind being the one to buy them for $2.99!
A while ago I wrote a blog about a friend that I lost. Anyways she called me out of the blue a couple of months ago announcing she was pregnant (complete SHOCK) and thought everything should be just fine with us. It was very good for me because I was able to tell her EVERYTHING I needed to tell her and felt really good about getting a little but of closer. Anyways I had told her that if she really wanted me back, she had to prove it and call and txt me. I told her it was all on her and I wasn't going to try ( I mean I tried for 8 months, it was her turn) Anyways like I predicted (but hoped I was wrong) she called a couple of times, but never tried very hard.
Well I hadn't heard from her in about a month and a half and yesterday she txt me to tell me she had the baby and sent me a bunch of pics. Im SOOOOO conflicted about how I feel. On one hand she was at one point my best friend and meant the world to me, so I'm super happy for her. BUT on the other hand I haven't seen her in a year, never saw her pregnant, wasn't a part of her pregnancy (her choice), wasn't a part of the birth (which I NEVER would have imagined when we were best friends, I would have been IN that room with her.) So I don't even know how to act and its really really bothering me. I feel really lost about the whole situation. Anyone have any advice?!
Well sorry to end on a depressing note, but I'm sure after the weekend of drinking and BOYS and my week with Dottie and the DREAMBOATS I'll have better blogs! Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July!!

Anyways this week has been great. Haven't done anything exciting, but I think its the weather and the fact that I'm off Fri and only have to work a half day tomorrow! Then I'm off to stay at a cabin with a bunch of friends. I don't know any of the guys that are going but Jamie promised me that there's gonna be LOTS of guys and then just us 5 girls, so the odds sound pretty good to me! =) Hopefully I'll have some good stories when I get back!*
Went and saw My Sisters Keeper last weekend and was sooooo disappointed with it that I was just pissed at the end. This is my favorite book and what makes it so good is the surprise ending... so why in the hell would the director/writer (or whoever is in charge) CHANGE the ending?? Up until the end it was pretty good, very sad and then when I realized that they were going to change the ending I almost left! I definantly muttered bullshit to my mom who was with me. She had never read the book and loved the movie. So bottom line if you love the book, skip the movie OR else go into knowing that the ending has changed!!*
Next week I leave on Thurs to go to New Mexico for 5 days to visit my crazy friend Dottie! (if you don't remember her, please re-read my "blind date from hell" blog!!) Anyways since moving to New Mexico she has gotten a divorce, opened up her own interior design business and has a new boyfriend. She has been calling me telling me about all the young "dreamboats" around town and already told me she's going to take me on a tour of the college... She thinks she's gonna lure me into moving there. We shall see how dreamboaty the dreamboats are before I move though!! =) I'm sure I'll have EVEN more great blogs after that trip!*
