You Know You're From New Mexico When...

You buy salsa by the gallon.
You are still using the paper license tag that
came with your car five years ago.
Your favorite restaurant has a chile list instead
of a wine list.
You do all your shopping and banking at a drive-up
window.
Your Christmas decorations include "a yard of sand
and 200 paper bags".
You have license plates on your walls, but not on
your car.
Most restaurants you go to begin with "El" or "Los".
You remember when Santa Fe was not like San Francisco.
You hated Texans until the Californians moved in.
The tires on your roof have more tread than the ones
on your car.
You price-shop for tortillas.
You have an extra freezer just for green chile.
You think a red light is merely a suggestion.
You believe that using a turn signal is a sign of
weakness.
You don't make eye contact with other drivers
because you can't tell how well armed they are just
by looking.
You think six tons of crushed rock makes a beautiful
front lawn.
You have to sign a waiver to buy hot coffee at a
drive-up window.
You ran for state legislature so you can speed legally.
You pass on the right because that's the fast-lane.
You have read a book while driving from Albuquerque to
Las Vegas.
You know they don't skate at the Ice House and the
Newsstand doesn't sell newspapers.
You think Sadies was better when it was in the bowling
alley.
You have used aluminum foil and duct tape to repair
your air conditioner.
You can't control your car on wet pavement.
There is a piece of a UFO displayed in your home.
You wish you had invested in the orange barrel
business.
You just got your fifth DWI and got elected to the
state legislature in the same week.
Your swamp cooler got knocked off your roof by a
dust devil.
You have been on TV more than three times telling
about how your neighbor was shot or about your alien
abduction.
You can actually hear the Taos hum.
All your out-of-state friends and relatives visit
in October.
You know Vegas is a town in the northeastern part
of the state.
You are afraid to drive through Mora and Espanola.
You iron your jeans to "dress up".
You don't see anything wrong with drive-up window
liquor sales.
Your other vehicle is also a pick-up truck.
Two of your cousins are in Santa Fe, one in the
legislature and the other in the state pen.
You know the punch line to at least one Espanola joke.
Your car is missing a fender or bumper.
You have driven to an Indian Casino at 3am because
you were hungry.
You think the Lobos fight song is "Louie, Louie"
You know whether you want "red or green and sometimes
you may even want Christmas"
You're relieved when the pavement ends because the
dirt road has fewer pot-holes.
You can correctly pronounce Tesuque, Cerrillos, and
Pojoaque.
You have been told by at least one out-of-state vendor
that they are going to charge you extra for "international"
shipping.
You expect to pay more if your house is made of mud.
You can order your Big Mac with green chile.
You see nothing odd when, in the conversations of the
people in line around you at the grocery store, every
other word of each sentence alternates between Spanish
and English.
You associate bridges with mud, not water.
Our "rivers", no matter how badly we want them to be
classified as a river, are actually streams.
You know you will run into at least 3 cousins whenever
you shop at Wal-Mart, Sam's or Home Depot.
Tumbleweeds and various cacti in your yard are not weeds.
They are your lawn.
If you travel anywhere, no matter if just to run to the
gas station, you must bring along a bottle of water and
some moisturizer.
Trailers are not referred to as trailers. They are houses.
Double-wide trailers are "real" houses.
A package of white flour tortillas is the exact same thing
as a loaf of bread. You don't need to write it on your
shopping list; it's a given.
At any gathering, regardless of size, green chile stew,
tortillas, and huge mounds of shredded cheese are mandatory.
Prosperity can be readily determined by the number of horses
you own.
A tarantula on your porch is ordinary. A scorpion in your
tub is ordinary. A poisonous centipede on your ceiling? Ordinary.
A black widow crawling across your bed is terribly, terribly
common. A rattlesnake is an occasional hiking hazard. No need to
freak out.

It's Monday: *Yawn*

*Yawn* It's Monday. I refuse to think.
The weekend was pretty quiet, although it's still
been rainy and humid here. I got plenty of rest,
but for some reason, I just can't seem to get it
together today. I think the humidity has my brain
waterlogged.
Oh, well...
Here's hoping your Monday has been more productive,
and if not, then you may have "the dumb' too. :D
Hmmm... I don't necessarily see that as a 'bad' thing.

Don't Mean to Complain But...
IT'S HOT! HUMID & HOT!
...at least it has been for the last few weeks, and the forecast
is the same over for next week or so. Agggggggggggggggh!
Don't get me wrong, [Now] I can honestly say I love the desert,
but this year it has been so humid, we might as well be living
in a dense tropical forest.
I've always been a 'island girl', ocean breezes an' all.
Love the tropics, but Synchronicity's winds (for whatever
reason) steered me into Roswell, NM - this tiny oasis in the
desert. I've finally become acclimated (after 15 years) to
this dry environment. It has NOT been easy.
NOW LOOK WHAT WE'VE GOT! TROPICAL-frickin-THUNDER!
Oh, wait! Now that I think about it, I've been dreaming
of going back to Hawaii to live. In fact, that has been my
driving force since 1990. Sure, there have been obstacles,
major setbacks, sidetracks, etc., but I've constantly had
Hawaii in my mind and heart. I still do.

"An Empty Hammock Kauai Hawaii (wallpaper)"
Ooooh! Mayhaps (Mama) Hawaii has heard my cry and is now
sending her blanket of comfort & love (her weather) to me,
her long lost baby girl. :D
I LOVE IT when a plan comes together!

UFOs: Record Sightings Predicted in Britain

"A record number of UFOs are expected to be spotted this
year in Britain after hundreds of sightings were reported
in the first six months of 2009.
Strange floating orbs and unexplained hovering objects
have all been recorded and reported to the Ministry of
Defence in the last six months..." (Cont.)
Guess who's coming to dinner!

Fluffy's Garden: The Rabbits Respond
My dear friend Fluffy, planted herself a beautiful
but HUGE garden this spring, and now has a beautiful
albeit abundant yield for her efforts, which is not
a bad thing. BUT!! Little did, she realize that she
would be engaged in a constant battle with the local
gangsta rabbit tribe , to keep her precious crop from
being totally obliterated.
So, after hearing her lament and the occasional shoo-
shooing rabbits away while on the phone, I started
thinking about what the rabbits might have to say in
their defense, and created a little motivational poster
based on one of the LOLCatz photos I found recently:
Aaaahahahaaa!
I've said it before and I'll say it again: You & Fluffy should
NEVER! be allowed to contact each other, for ANY reason!

It's Monday: Done...For Another Year!

It's Monday. The 4th of July weekend was peaceful and somewhat rainy.
Our infamous UFO festival is done,
folded and put away nicely for another year. *Yay!* Now, maybe things can get back to normal around here.
Normal? This is Roswell!
Sorry. Wishful thinking.
