I want desperately to stay home and paint.

Not going to happen.

I'm on day 7 of 11 days of state standardized accountability testing here in New Mexico. It provides a change of pace atleast.

The family and I went to eat at Chopstix last night. We had tofu fish balls that were absolutely divine! Mustard greens with cured tofu, eggplant in garlic sauce, whole redsnapper steamed with ginger and green onions, and a special whole grain steamed purple rice. It was a inspired meal. My dad is finally in a walking cast, and was happy to get out and try the food we had all been gloating about.

Tomorrow should be fun. A friend of a dear friend from Houston is coming to stay the night with me. She's checking out the art therapy program at the college of santa fe, I believe. Anyway. Hope all is well. Hugs.
