May 2 - Monday

I made a salad like the one in the cafe in our building downtown. Strawberries, grapes, feta, purple onion, grape tomatoes, cucumber with spring mix and baby spinach. I wish I knew what kind of dressing they use. This will do while I try to figure it out.

May 3 - Tuesday

So when I bought the empty plastic eggs for Easter I dumped out the bag of eggs on the table to fill them with candy. This fell out of the bag.

May 4 - Wednesday

The two best scenes in the movie Spanglish were the girl standing in the wind on the beach and The Sandwich. I would trade this for the girl on the beach.

May 5 - Thursday

Cinco de Mayo celebracíon started today at 3p. Not a bad way to end the day.

May 6 - Friday

I have a friend at work that would go completely ape shit if I showed up with this. This is $7 worth of goldfish. It was huge.

May 7 - Saturday

Went to my sister's for a party and to watch the Pacquiao/Mosley fight. I think this is how Mosley saw the whole thing.

May 8 - Sunday

Went to spend the afternoon at mom's for Mother's Day. Barkley and I relaxed outside by the grill with a beer.

May 9 - Monday

Saw this on the way to work today. I knew a girl that drove a dark blue bug that I would call honey but she'd probably smack me. She's not that sweet.

May 10 - Tuesday

Went to see a friend today and guess what? She had a few cascarones left over from Easter. Gotcha.

May 11 - Wednesday

Went to the SPCA to drop off some newspapers and pet the dogs. They were closed. It wasn't a total loss. Went to Fuel City Tacos for lunch.

May 12 - Thursday

This is some of the construction going on downtown on the First Baptist Church. Amazing how quickly some of this is going.

May 13 - Friday

Freshly painted parking garage. The yellow was so bright in the noon sun. Got out of work early today. Not bad for a Friday the 13th.

May 14 - Saturday

My blackberry bush is budding. I have about 10 berries on this. Not too shabby for the second year. I didn't kill it.

May 15 - Sunday

This is on the corner around the block from my house. I've seen it a few times while I'm riding my bike. Stopped to get a pic in the evening sun.

May 16 - Monday

My Ming Arelia that my mom gave me has a new shoot growing in its pot. Look at me growing stuff and stuff. Amazing what regular watering will do.

May 17 - Tuesday

Look at Riley smiling at her daddy before her Spring Concert. I think she was already thinking about getting a Keller's burger afterward.

May 18 - Wednesday

One of the many blooms on my Magnolia tree.

May 19 - Thursday

Stayed home today feeling like crap. This a bad photo but it's my company on the couch next to me. Someone please take this cat!?!?!

May 20 - Friday

Crazy storms today. But the clouds broke just before sunset and the sky was all yellowy orange. Made my bricks almost glow.

May 22 - Sunday

This is a mimosa tree blooming in my alley. We had one of these in our front yard growing up. I always thought these things looked crazy.

May 23 - Monday

Went to lunch with a friend. This has to be either one very large PB&J or something realllllllly special. Their burgers were great and much more reasonably priced.

May 24 - Tuesday

The weather was crazy today. This was the sky from the roof of our parking garage. I only got a little marble sized hail at my house.

May 27 - Friday

It's kinda weird seeing one of these cranes so close up. This one's actually not too tall.

May 29 - Sunday

Went out to run some errands and stopped at La Michuacana market near my house for a small cup of heart attack. Delicious, creamy, spicy cup of heart attack.

May 31 - Tuesday

I was craving guac yesterday, but none of the avocados at the store were ripe. But they were ripe tonight. Mmmmmm.
