Today I'm off to beautiful Denver Colorado. I think I'm going to see if I can borrow my parents camera. I really need to get one for myself though. I think that might be my next big purchase. I would like to try my hand at something more artistic than ... well ... the nothing that I do right now.
Oh ... and this week, I'll be posting my own personal poetry. Which I'll heartily admit is pretty bad.
Right now I'm pretty pleased that I got everything on my list done. Usually there are at least a few things that I forget. I really am travelling pretty light. (for me anyway)
Okay ... enough rambling. Let's get the show on the road.
Not only do I not know what's going on, I wouldn't know what to do about it if I did.

I'm a savory breakfast girl. I do like my eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns.

Span-new
PRONUNCIATION:
(span-noo, -nyoo)
MEANING:
adjective: Brand-new.
ETYMOLOGY:
From Middle English spannewe, from Old Norse spannyr, from spann (chip of wood) + nyr (new). Ultimately from the Indo-European root newo- (new) that also gave us new, neo-, neon, novice, novel, novelty, innovate, and renovate.
The same term appears in the phrase spick-and-span-new which was later shortened into spick-and-span. A spick is a spike; a spick-and-span-new ship referred to a brand new ship, one that is made up of new nails and new wood.
USAGE:
"Nita Patton: 'I had fun last time and I'd have fun again, especially as Columbus now boasts a bran, span-new hotel."
Janet Evanovich, Plum Lucky and W. Cleon Skousen, 5000 Year Leap.
Tonight is: Nothin' on tonight, I'll probably be too tired from travel to watch much tv anyway.
Brightest Blessings,
Sunshine
Sleepless nights
Dreams of day
Sunlight golden
On my face.
Pale clouds floating
On a clear blue sky
The lake stands still
And birds fly by.
Eyes wide open
I'm in my room
Daydreaming at the window
Looking out at Winter's gloom.

Halibut w/ Herbs and Capers
Ingredients:
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped pitted green olives
2 teaspoons drained capers, rinsed
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 (4 ounce) halibut fillets
Preparation:
1. Place onion, parsley, cilantro, lemon zest, lemon juice, olives, capers, garlic and pepper in a food processor; pulse several times to chop. Add oil and process, scraping down the sides several times, until a pesto-like paste forms. Pat halibut with the herb paste. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a 7-by-11-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange the halibut in the dish and spoon any extra herb mixture on top. Bake, uncovered, until the fish is opaque in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings
