the food network this evening and there’s no turning back. in just 10 minutes, i saw three thousand strawberries get dunked in chocolate, 400 pounds of scallions get seasoned for six hours and i saw a baker sculpt a cake into a three-foot, diamond encrusted stiletto! a stiletto, people! not to mention that every other infomercial makes me want to reach for my debit card and surrender to the gadget gods. how come no one ever told me about this tv paradise?!

i woke up with such a deep yearning to travel some place far way, it hurt. i sat on the edge of my bed and felt my heart ache with wanderlust. i heard a clock tick, tick, tick furiously in my head. i wanted to grab my camera and bolt out the door in my pajamas, run until i reached india or greece or mexico city or brazil. before this day ends, i promised myself, i will buy a plane ticket. and so i did. to cuba and oaxaca. i will be there for 16 days in july. just me and my camera … and my pajamas.

one of my favorite signs of all time. it hangs in his bathroom over his toilet, not far from a faded pink bottle of mr. bubbles. not sure what it means or where he got it, but each time i saw it, i paused. i stood there, on his “nice underwear!” bath rug, and asked myself if i was doing enough in life, if i should get up, hit the floor and dance a little more.

today i am celebrating you and your brand new start. i miss you like i missed the sun in portland and there’s much i would give up to bring you home (elotes con mayonesa, chile y limon, the old shakira, my favorite cowboy boots) but i’m so, so happy for you. te mando un mil de besos from the west coast.

looking fly at the beach. in the crook of her arm she lugged around a little black purse filled with: a plastic rosary, a comb, vicks vaporub, her reading glasses, all the jewelry she owns and $ 8.
