7am Wake up from odd dream about pythons. Go back to bed.
10am Hit the pool. I ain’t spending $59 on a place and NOT dipping into the pool.
12pm Finally hit the road. Figure I’ve got 7 hours ahead of me.
1pm Screech to a stop due to starvation. Want something healthy and go for a salad at a strip mall Chili’s.
1-2pm Observe Americans in their Chili’s environment. Amazed at all the white people, waitresses in mom jeans, loud talkers, guys drinking lunchtime beers, career bartenders, old people eating soup, and lunchers half in conversations and half texting others.
2pm Stop at Wal-Mart for an audio book. The only one they have is Glen Beck’s “An Inconvenient Book” Hmmm…. might be nice to get the point of view…. Nope. Not gonna do politics on this peaceful ride through the beautiful southwest.
2:10pm See a school of cops and a gaggle of Mormons entering the Chili’s. Darn. Wish I had come later so I could observe.
3pm See Santa Monica license plate! About to wave but spy sorority bumper sticker and think otherwise.
4pm In absolute awe of the beauty of my own country. Red rocks and funny shrubbery.
4:30pm Enter New Mexico, the land of enchantment!
Sorry this one’s blurry. Too many lunchtime beers. Just kidding. I’m driving.4:40pm Notice the sudden lack of mountains. Wonder if mountains are banned in NM.
5pm drive behind a truck full of red chiles. Coooool! I mean, hoooot.
5:15pm Spend a good 15 minutes thinking of a joke about telling these chilies I’ve just been to Chili’s. Come up with nothin’.
7pm Almost stop to buy souvenirs in the Silver City but am turned off by their selling point: Agate bookends.
7:20pm Pass State Prison sign.
7:21pm See Fairgrounds sign
7:40pm Stop for the night in Las Cruces. The owner of the hotel is a quirky Indonesian lady. Realize that life can lead you anywhere. How did she ever find this Las Cruces place?
8:00pm Head out for dinner and note that there is nothing in Las Cruces. Nothing. It’s either Sonic burger or gas station food. I choose Chex Mix and orange juice.
9:00pm Jump on hotel bed.
10:00pm Fall asleep with Chex Mix on face and crumbs on pillow.

Your system has two layer involving skin. You get hold of cellulite when fat tissue inside the inner film starts to push this connective tissue in the centre layer therefore you get smallish dimples. Women have got a much leaner skin compared to men and thus they have more cellulite.

Hey! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be okay. I’m undoubtedly enjoying your blog and look forward to new updates.
You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.
