Taco Mania!
All I want to eat is tacos. In fact, if I had any cheddar cheese left, I’d go make myself a couple right now. They have to be “real” tacos though. Instead of using the pre fried crispy shells, I limber up some corn tortillas in grease, drain them on paper towels, fill them with meat and cheese and then pan fry them. So, so yummy. Would someone please go buy me a block of cheddar? I’ve had tacos for my last four meals (not counting breakfast). Poor Mike and Erik had to have Italian cheese on the last batch, but I don’t think either of them noticed.
I am feeling MUCH better, as you can tell from the taco talk. I am crossing all possible crossing body parts that I stay well for awhile! I even had the energy to go to Latin Cardio today and shake my money maker. Now, though, my leg joints are hurting so maybe I over did it.
I did not complete a Dear Jane block this week. Booo! I thought I did. I even scanned it in, wrote it up, and posted it all over the place. Later, I was going through my Dear Jane notebook and realized the block wasn’t complete. I thought it was just a simple pieced block, but it has to have four diamonds appliqued on top of it. Hopefully I will get to that tomorrow.
I don’t know, though. My car is still in the shop because the mechanics wanted to really examine the brake line when it wasn’t wet outside to make sure there isn’t a leak. I don’t want to be driving around with brake problems, so I agreed. The car is supposed to be ready by noon tomorrow. If I can pick it up by 11:45 I’ll have time to run Erik to school, otherwise he’s just going to have to skip tomorrow. Bah.
Do you realize that Christmas is almost here? Yikes! I think I have something major picked out for Erik (A Cool building set things) and am just waiting until Cyber Monday to order. I’m not sure if Hearthsong participates in the free shipping day, but maybe I’ll get lucky. Other than that I think he’s getting a marble run, a transformer and possible a TAG reading system. I may also look around at Wii games and try to figure out if there are any that he can play and that he would be interested in. He can play Dora Saves the Snow Princess by himself, but he finds it pretty boring. He is obsessed with the World of Goo, a tower building game. Problem? He can’t do most of the levels by himself. Mike is a good sport and doesn’t mind playing it with him, but it annoys the shit out of me, especially since we’ve already done all the levels once. I’m just a girl when it comes to video games. Give me Bejeweled, Tetris or Collapse. Something like that.
I finally made Erik and appointment for Christmas portraits. Now I just have to get him a new outfit and hope the road rash on his face clears up. I kept waiting for various scratches and owies to go away, but as soon as one is gone, another one appears. I guess that makes it more authentic. I just wish I would have tried on his outfit the day I bought it so I would have got the right size. Bah!
Erik was asking a lot of questions about the baby this afternoon, so I pulled out a book that my friend gave me a few months ago. It has lots of pictures of 3D ultrasounds, so I thought it would be perfect to help Erik understand what’s going on.
Ha!
I should have looked through it a little more closely. He was very interested in all the pictures and wanted to flip through the whole book. I didn’t realize it had lots of pictures of women giving birth. “Mommy! Why is that baby’s head in that lady’s butt?”
Oh dear.
I think it’s time to go to bed. Aren’t you glad I had such coherent thoughts tonight?
