Wake Up Maggie, I Think I've Got Something To Say To You.

Maggie, you truly are one of the greats!

Be Still, My Beating Heart!

Remind me again about why I'm not home right now...

Bon Voyage, My Loves!

My dearest Gianna will be shipping off to NYC soon, and it makes me SO SAD. She, and her amazingly wonderful husband Alex will be making the move so he can accept an amazing job! While I'm extremely happy for Alex, I'm going to miss my little sweet thang, as she is one of the nearest and dearest to my heart. I got to hang out at their house over the weekend with Gianna, her mom Denise (best. lady. ever.), and I got to get first dibs on some of the things that she would be selling at her fabulous garage sale. If you know Gianna, you understand how fabulous her belongings are. I am now the proud owner of her sewing machine, and if you recall (from a few blogs ago), I mentioned that I wanted to take up sewing as a new hobby! Thank you, my favorite little drapes! I love you both SO MUCH. I'll be visiting soon! Until then, I'll miss you!

"Down At Churchills" - The Crumbs

 The fury of the Miami punk scene was alive and well on Saturday night! I felt like I was at home in "the new Churchills." I'm being told, quite seriously, that nothing is going to change from some of the promoters. They're people who I trust and adore, so I'm going to believe them. Speaking of those promoters, it was Los' birthday. It was amazing, and I hadn't had fun like that in a really long time. I mean, Raf came to Miami! 'Nuff said! Getting to see The Crumbs is always a treat. I love them, and I love that Jose played with them again. Watching Jose and Raf play guitar together is always a great experience.

Not only do I have most of the albums in that picture, but I'm also thanked on a few of them! You see, I used to take A LOT of pictures and video and have been credited on New Times often by the oh-so-amazing journalist Abel Folgar, who did this piece. I love my scene, and the fact that everyone is still a family after so long. From what I've been told, Fabio, Nayra, and Los are still holding down the fort at Churchill's, so nothing has changed too much...so far. Except the cups, the cups changed. They're smaller. Also, there was a cop standing outside of the bar the whole night, which is annoying to the regular crowd, because punk and disorderly is a way of life outside of our beloved bar. I'm sure the people who come from Ft. Lauderdale (and other cities that are out of town), who aren't quite accustomed to our special brand of Miami Ghetto, are happy about it. I mean, there are a lot of murders and theft in the area, and not everyone is as street smart as we are. I've seen people robbed at gunpoint, and most people have a "that time my car got broken into" story. Like I said, I get it. It's probably a good thing, but none of us really like change.

Happiness Is A Warm Bed.

....and I wanna get back in it with this guy!

Steps To The Best Morning Ever:

Step 1: Wake up extra early, just to cuddle before having to do crappy adult tasks (his teachin' ass is off for the summer...LUCKY). Give it a good hour, to really get maximum snugglage.

Step 2: Go to the shitty ass DMV with this sweet man, and get in and out in less than an hour. While leaving, enjoy some sweet owl watching in the parking lot. *Our county protects their nests, so they're EVERYWHERE! I love them!

Step 3: MOJO FREAKING DONUTS. 'nuff said.

Step 4: Upon arrival at work, Read Pablo's godfather's "Useless Trivia Friday" email. *I get this weekly, and it is amazing, every...single...time!

Upcoming Steps:

Step 5: DOGMA on Biscayne. I cannot WAIT to go there. If you haven't been there, you are missing out BIG TIME, and I know that a lot of my vegetarian friends complain that they lost their vegetarian options once Andiamo bought it, but...I'm not a vegetarian, and it's STILL delicious to me! Ok, maybe I want Andiamo...nope. Dogma.

Step 6: Make a cameo at Gianna's so we can get first dibs on all the things that she'll be selling at tomorrow's garage sale before they move to NYC. (This murders my heart)

Step 7: Get back in bed with Pablito and repeat Step 1!

Elizabeth!!

My Boss: Go through this junk and see what we should keep.

Jen: Do I look like Redd Foxx to you?

The fact that he laughed as hard as he did, shows me that I'm in the right place.

Something In The Way Layla Moves

So freaking beautiful. No wonder George and Eric made such beautiful music about her! Pattie Boyd was a stone cold fox!

My Next Project?

There Are So Many Things That Are RIGHT With This Picture. I Can Barely Handle It.

Bloomin' FUNion

Me: Outback Steakhouse has a MOONSHINE BBQ MENU. I'm gonna scoop up some ribs for my honey on the way home, totally thought of you.

Andee: I wish there was a Bloomin' Onion on my desk right now.

Me: OMG, I would put it in my butt so it hits me faster.

Andee: You're a genius.
