You order Eggs Benedict prepared with a special southwestern sauce;

You get your camera ready for a snow shot, because you know the snow will melt soon;

You celebrate the Christmas season with a breakfast cookout in the desert;

You never tire of listening to a mariachi band play traditional Mexican music;

You celebrate every cactus bloom in early spring;

You earmark recipes containing the words "Texas"and "beer";

You brag about your skill in making homemade flour tortillas;

You  prepare migas instead of plain old scrambled eggs for breakfast;

You get excited when a desert plant blooms;

You are always on the lookout for new landscaping ideas.
