20 hours and counting...
So here I am, on my last day in New Mexico 'til Christmas time. Mama and Ernest just got back from their vacation in Tucson, and my loot includes:
1) a Virgen María medal from the San Xavier del Bac mission (one of my favorite places, with spiritual/personal significance to me), and
2) an Old West style photo of Mama and Ernest--she's wearing a froofy dress (she looks like a giant cake) complete with stupid hat, and Ernest looks like an aging, Mexican Wyatt Earp. It's their going-away present. I think we can all agree that my (in Ernest's case, step-)parents are pretty awesome.
When I drove my sister Anika to school this morning, there was a chile-roasting stand right by one of the stoplights. I inhaled a ridiculous amount of roasted green chile smell, and briefly reconsidered my decision to head back East. Mmmm, green chile. <3
Will post update/apartment pictures once I get settled in New Haven. Peace, bitches.
