Just chilling

Neon family

What is up, mang? I'm just chilling with my crew. That's MC Dad and Lil' Sh*t in the picture with me.

Oh geez. Let's break it down now. What's been happening? If my life were a pie chart, the wedges would look something like this:

40% thinking about, making and scheduling baby foods. Trust me, it's a science!

10% general worrying. What will Ira's next poop look like? Will it 'splode up his back? Will I have enough wipes?! Will Elisabeth Hasselbeck ever see the light?

10% figuring out what combination of frozen foods will be my and Leon's dinner.

10% "cleaning." Or, just putting all the magazines and junk mail in neater piles.

5% trying to practice my Spanish at local taquerias. I get a few puzzled looks from some of the cashiers, like "what, you don't speak Spanish? Aren't you mexican?" I always have to explain, "of course not, I'm Chicano!"

1% taking a spill on a steep trail. Me and Heylove got a little tangled up on Sunday during a Neon family hike in Newcastle. Heylove is fine but I took a nasty fall trying to avoid her. Luckily, the combat-style roll I did didn't land me down the steep, poison oak infested ravine. I got some scrapes and crimped my back a little. Oh, and Ira was on Leon's back, a good, safe distance from my clumsiness.

24% playing with Ira. He's getting so fun.
