Some would say....

Check it out all you checker outers!

Amir says I will make you all worried about me.  I said, they know what a klutz I am.  I must share in the glory that are my injuries! When I came home the first thing Amir said was "you have to be careful."  Really?  Really!?!  Is that what I should do?  Take care?  "Good advice, too late" (A Tim Hawkins reference.  Look it up on you tube)

Amir was a sweetie though and cleaned and bandage it.  He was also kind enough to take this picture.  My little old lady said I should be nicer to the ground.  I am surrounded by such sympathetic, helpful people!

Father's Day

Amir does not know about candy cards.  I made him one and it was funny trying to get him to read it.  I kept telling him, "you have to read the candy".  Yes, I had to stretch to make some of the things fit, but, it's candy.  What are you expecting?  Walt Whitman?  "O Candy my candy.  Our fearful trip is done.  My mouth has weathered every snack, the prize I bought has come.  The end is near, the TV I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady glow, the sitcom grim and daring. But O heart, heart, heart, o the dripping drops of sugar, where on my chest the junk food lies, and I am cold with rigor."  What?  It's an American classic.

In case you can't read it, it says "Dear Mr. Amir, you big hunk!  Just because you are not a pop yet, doesn't mean you should be sour on Father's Day.  It also doesn't mean you should get zero.  You are my lifesaver.  So score one hundred grand.  You deserve only joy.  Love, from your sweet gummy bear, Molly."

Like I said, a bit of a stretch.  But he really liked it.  (And no, I did not eat it for him.  He has kept it in his office and enjoyed a late night nibble or two.)

For Amy

So this is for my sister.  Some background.  I wanted fresh herbs and bought a little pot to grow them in.  The plants outside are mad I think.  I have panted the cilantro twice, and it is now growing ( a little. We'll see if they survive.)  I have planted the basil three times and it has yet to grow.
Now the pot inside has gone crazy.  I think it is because it lives in the office with Amir.  Plants like Amir.  They grow for him. I think that is why the plants outside are unhappy.  They are not with Amir.  I would be unhappy if I was not with Amir, so I sympathize with the plants.

That is a 12 inch ruler to give a little perspective on the size of the plants.
Like I said, they are very happy (and tasty).

Memorial Day Fun

Amir took Memorial Day off.  (I almost fainted.) And we spent it with a friend of ours in Santa Fe.  We went hiking in the mountains with actual, honest to goodness trees!!  And then we went shopping at the outlet stores.  Amir made a haul and got himself some snazzy new clothes.  And I got the cutest most comfy high heels EVER.  I do not wear high heels as a rule.  They hurt.  But these felt good on my feet even after two hours of hiking.  Now those are good shoes.

See!  There is green in New Mexico.
I love all the different shades of green.

Amir caught us a lizard.  He was very cute.  And so was the lizard.

Comfy shoes.  That's how I roll.
