Today started off bright and shiny... like a new penny... and ended in a flood of craziness.

We started off the day gloriously by heading off to the farmer's market downtown. It was awesome... and this is one of those events that really makes Albuquerque so freakin cool. Fresh garden produce... handmade jewelry, art, crafts... lots of friendly people just enjoying the moment, the live music, and playing with their kids and dogs in the sunshine of a beautiful park in the heart of the city. It was great.

We got some fresh veggies... and some fruits... and then ran some errands for the day. We had a fantastic lunch at Flying Star... haircuts at the mall... and visited with friends and family.

At the end of the day was alot of interpersonal drama... which I abhor. It just drives me crazy... and it really is such and unnecessary part of life... at least for me. There are some people who like drama on a day to day basis... but I am not one of them. It is times like this that I need to step back from the situation... and just breathe. In AND out...
