There are dogs all over Deep Ellum. There is a big field across the street from my office. I have learned that you should not walk across that field while texting. You definitely need to watch where you step. Lots of people take their dogs out there to do their business.

I had the family over for a big menudo breakfast this morning. That means a trip to Luna's for the best menudo and handmade torillas. Its always fun to have the family over.

After a very long day of freelance work and house cleaning, I laid on the couch to watch a replay of the Mavs game. Shadow decided he wanted to join me for while.

I went for a walk around Deep Ellum today at lunch. We ate at Cafe Brazil and then walked over to Zen Bakery. They're also a restaurant that makes Philippino food. I don't know what they were cooking when we walked in, but it smelled awesome. Their cake balls are pretty awesome too.

I spent most of the evening working on the website for my client in Tahoe. He's been really busy and getting this project finalized has taken some time. He's still one of my favorite clients and we're almost done.

This is my blue haired princess. She colored her hair last night and started her blue phase.

This is the window behind my desk. I like my area except for the glare, especially early in the morning. It was really bright this morning.

I stopped at "my" taco shop for some breakfast tacos. It wasn't crazy early or anything, but the shadows were still long. My taco stand makes some really good breakfast tacos too. Not a bad way to start the day.

Went to a birthday barbeque. This is my other daughter's little sister. She's so funny and cute. RIley and Rane say she's a handful, but I didn't see that. She does have shoes that light up and that's pretty cool.

A friend and I went out to In Sync Exotics. They are a big cat sanctuary in Wylie. What beautiful animals. We have a couple of friends who volunteer there and they gave us a really great tour. Such a great experience. You should take the time to make the drive. It's so worth it.

Went to a happy hour downtown with some friends after work. It was a long week and a long day too. Drinks and friends are a great way to end the week.

This is not an endorsement of this woman. I don't know her at all. I did know a Theresa Daniel as a young man. There are very few woman who can make really short hair look good. She was probably the first one I've known. And she was a really cool person too.

Salad for lunch and guacamole for dinner the last couple of days has left me craving some beef. This is from "my" taco stand down the street from the office. I had this and the rest of the salad from yesterday.
April 17, 2012 - Tuesday
This is the salad I was talking about on Friday. I made it Sunday night and had it for the lunch the last couple of days. There's enough left for lunch tomorrow too.

Look at all the acorns on the ground. This guy doesn't have to go far to find something to eat.

Riley, Rane and I went to spend the day with a friend and her family. A great day to have dinner on the patio. This is the bush in her front yard. She calls it her butterfly and bee tree. There were bees all over and a few of these guys.
April 14, 2012 - Saturday
Went to Sam's to pick up a few things. Ended up getting a bunch of veggies and fruit to make a Greek Chicken Pasta salad, a Greek Salad with fruit and I also picked up some avocados for guacamole. I think I'm set for the week.
April 13, 2012 - Friday
Our small team went out to lunch to say goodbye to the woman who's place I'm taking. I think this is the All Good Cafe on Main. I'm going to be on my own from now on.

I had a meet and greet in Carrolton with some of the people I will be working with. The meeting ended a little early and I went to pick up Riley and Rane from school. We went to sit on a patio for dinner. I had a beer.

My new position in Deep Ellum. I decided to go into the restaurant business. I love fresh hand-made flour torillas and the carne-asada are my favorite. I hope you know I'm not serious. I would completely eat all my profits.
April 9, 2012 - Monday
I accepted a new postion with a company in Deep Ellum today. I took my "two" daughters out to dinner to celebrate. One likes to take pictures, the other, not so much. Or maybe she just doesn't like to take pictures with the other.
April 8, 2012 - Sunday
It rained so much today. When it rains hard enough and/or long enough I get puddles on my back porch. I like the patterns of all the drops and ripples.
April 7, 2012 - Saturday
This is growing along the fence and at the base of one of my trees in the back yard. I cut the back yard today. It's that time of year again, when the yard needs to be cut practically every weekend.

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's Amore. When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine, that's Amore.

Freelanced in the morning, had lunch with two great friends. Came back downtown and waited for Riley to get out of school. We hung out, talked and had dessert. Then went to see Casablanca at the Meyerson. I love the architecture of the ceiling in there. Great way to see a great movie. Not a bad day at all.

This is Zeke, the old man of the house. He doesn't have as much gray as Shadow, but he's much older and mostly deaf now. He's always been scared of thunder, but now he doesn't hear it so much. After yesterday's crazy weather that's a good thing

I had an interview last week. Today I came in to spend the day seeing how I fit in with the small group. This is the rain out the back of the building before Mother Nature lost her mind and went bat sh!t all over the metroplex.

I ordered a hard drive to keep my laptop backed up. It arrived today. Kind of a boring day. I spent the day working on my couch.
April 1, 2012 - Sunday
Riley and I went out to run some errands. She came up with the brilliant idea to go get ice cream for a snack. This is complete proof that she is my daughter.
