The Misadventures of Aubree LeAnn...: 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!
