moldy peaches – AsziChild

Yeah, so it has been a little while since I have last written. Nearly every day I think of something I must jot down, but I have not had a second to write. Now is my chance!

A weekend or so ago Cooper and I went to Juno. It is a fabulous movie…a must see. My only frustration with the film is that Cooper and I have or had “a song” (I know, cheesy) and this special song was a major component to the movie. The song that was once not so mainstream is now all over the place…even the ladies at “The View” are exploiting it. So, our little secret song is a secret no more. I guess we will have to find something new.

In an effort to not to ruin Juno for anyone, I’ll play “our” Moldy Peaches song to “Eternal Sunshine for a Spotless Mind” movie instead.

This past weekend was road trip #1 in 2000 and 8. Cooper and I drove to Palm Springs for a wedding and stopped along the way at Pat and Rachel’s INCREDIBLE Bruery and Emily’s home for Cucas burritos. In a three day time span we went from temperate weather to the desert to snow in the mountains to a rain/dust/wind storm to 5 different rainbows to a downpour. We made it in one piece but unfortunately missed out on a bucket of KFC and the super bowl.

If you are ever thirsty for a beer…keep this collection in mind: The Bruery. They hope to start brewing soon so keep your eye on the shelves/bars. Honestly, this beer is some of the best juice I have ever tasted.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
