The perfect pineapple shared with a friend.

The Delicious Circle of WTF...

This circle represents so much..
Healthy.
Delish.
Sprouted.
Another vessel for a ton of garlic.
And made early this morning at what will be now know as Hummus:30.

Sprouting the beans took almost 4 days safely semi-warmed in the confines of the oven with the pilot light to keep the younguns from possibly freezing on the kitchen counter. Organic garbanzos are affordable in dry form and then you don't have to worry about the BPA from the can. There is a distinct crispness to the hummus... and it tastes far beyond outrageously good! It's not my ability... it was clearly the sprouting of the beans!

Oh my.. I seriously doubt I will ever make regular hummus ever again.

Now THAT is what I call a good start to the day!

Don't for one second think I did this before stout coffee... it was a kinda loud night here as the wind was like a freight train and it took me waking up at about 1 and needing to hunt down a pair of earplugs from my tour manager gear bag. The wind here really does feel like it's gonna lift the house off it's "lawsuit funded foundation" at times like this. It can really get going, and it's kind of fun to watch debris fly past the front window when the gusts get up around 50 or so mph.

Next up is a quick trip to the store to get coffee filters and a pineapple which is primarily for Gretchen, but I'll be grabbing a bite or two for sure. Then it's time to do a couple email follow-ups from yesterday and keep moving simply forward.

Channeling nervous energy.

How do YOU channel nervous energy? I worked really hard at taking good care to do nice things for myself this morning. Healthy bfast, enough coffee, took vitamins, and then went out into the world to do another Ecoblue appointment here in Bisbee with Damian at my side. We have proposals to send, and products to shuttle down here for them to try, and some good possibility of getting to help another local business. After that it was cold calls via walking into businesses in Sierra Vista and seeing what we could see. A couple good leads.. Damian said it was a good day, so I will take his word for it. And my fear is still right there... as is my nervousness. I just need to calm down and shadow this guy. After the work day, I finally got to see The Amazing Gretchen who is still laid up with her vertiginous condition. Wow... this has seriously jacked that girl up for weeks. I took a dumb care package containing tasty treats, and a paint by numbers I grabbed on the way over. I haven't seen her in over a month, so it was good to lay eyes on her and get kinda caught up on everything. She is a good lady, that Gretchen. Simple with a capital S is how I am gonna roll...

The Universe shine on me...

Got a couple bucks tossed at me for a prior furniture sale last night. The lights can stay on this week, and I can afford haul up to Tucson when the job needs me to.. I feel lucky. Poor, but lucky. I woke up this morning thinking I do in fact live in a silly little paradise, and of how great it was going to be to drink a great cup of coffee, put some music on (Led Zeppelin), and get the shades up to let the light in. My Gawd! It's all so simple! Yesterday I made spicy cole slaw that I hope to deliver to Gretchen who has been laid up waaaay to long with a vertiginous condition. That girl loves some slaw! And I love me some Gretchen... Here's a cabbage-filled offering to The Gods of Wellness that our Fearless Creative Leader gets back on her damn feet much sooner than later! Tonight I have high hopes that my fave snarky blogger Michael K. will be drunkblogging The Oscars... nobody covers that event better than that man! In between waiting for all that, is the Mardi Paws event at Central School to raise funds for Border Animal Rescue. Being seriously dog starved these days, it's a good way to love on some fab pets and help support a good cause. A fashion show is on the docket, so that ought to bring some serious joy (and humiliation) to the mix. It's 62 degrees on the porch already... (only about 50 in the house) so that means truly another day in paradise in the wee beach house in the desert.

Closeup!

WTF is this?

Doors and windows open, 80 on the porch, crazy mix of music flowing outta the wee haus, laundry done, nobody wants to buy my vintage stove, but who cares? You don't care... You just wanna know what the winning lottery numbers are. 

I have no idea but it's hella beautiful out.

Minor provisioning..

Time to grab a 5 gallon bottle of water then motor back to Bisbee. Ready to get home and see that tiny town.

A few friends to see but mostly it's just about time at home. I'm getting a good dose of humility these days in many areas. Just kinda looking around and paying attention. I don't know much about what's next. Just know that without answers it's easy to be quiet in showing up and keeping it real simple.

Here's to a beautiful day.

Yeeeeeow! 
Back in Az now. This snake is a bronze sculpture from the San Diego Zoo. The Cilch Sisters and I strolled the zoo the other day.

Good meeting in Yuma and an easy trip back.

Ok sunsetty goodness. Do your thing. I will be off to Yuma early and back in The Baked Pueblo hopefully by dark. Tomorrow is a long day.

I think..

I think I kinda just did my first bit of Ecoblue sales. It's not really fair to say I did it really. But between my getting the appointment and the brilliance of Damian, the first deal with my name attached has been put on the books. Thanks to Cedric at The Bisbee Royale Theater for choosing Ecoblue!

So much to learn... but I see the road before me and it's a completely new path but it's got a really good feel.

Hilarity on Fat Tuesday.

This has to be one of the funniest thangs...

and then there is this...

Oh... it's a 3 day weekend?

Honestly, I had no idea. Oops. I don't pay attention. I have had my head in the video editing and in just being quiet in general. Did get to see Protocol with Goldie Hawn last night with my pal Chili... funny movie, good times, good snacks. Just finishing up a round of uploading more footage to go through than it's time to clean up to go meet The Cilch Sisters for a walk in the park and some lunch. The time is flying by... the boys come back from Maui tomorrow night! Holy crap my visit is damn near over! I'll be here till Thurs. morning when I head back towards Tucson with a stop in Yuma to meet my Ecoblue buddy Damian to check out a site.

Funny.. right? We are passing each other as I head back to AZ and he takes his family on a wee vacay to Ocean Beach. I may head to OB later today in fact. Still love that beach like few others.
