Walking Tacos

Okay, so I have this enormous love relationship with Walking Tacos. It all started when I would go to track meets to watch the kids Aaron coaches and then see and smell these really yummy looking things. However, being the tight-wad that I am, I refused to spend $3 on a piddly little quantity of food no matter how good it looked. If I'm going to spend $3 on food - it had better fill me up! Plus the kids were always with me and once you start buying food, there's no end in sight. Anyway, Aaron would get meal tickets for being a coach and would get to indulge in these tasty little creations while I merely had to listen to him tell me about the many times he got to eat them.

Fast forward to our vacation last month while we were at our Burlington Bees baseball game. On vacation, we usually splurge on things we don't normally spend money on because, hey, it's vacation. So, Aaron surprised me with my very own walking taco that night. I was in heavenly bliss. All that unwholesome gooey goodness in one little bag! Can it get any better than that? I LOVE walking tacos!

Yesterday, I was reading our weekly newspaper and saw that the bank in town is having customer appreciation day set for lunch today and they are serving walking tacos! Awesome, yes? The problem is that I don't use that bank. ARGH! I bank with the other bank in town. This is a dilemma. Do I quickly open an account there so I can enjoy a walking taco or do I merely look once again from afar and wish I could have one? This was the choice I faced. I decided since I couldn't have them at the bank, I would make my own for supper instead. So I did, and they were quite yummy. My tummy was happy. BUT, then after supper I got a call from my dear father-in-law who happens to bank at this bank. He is out of town and he has an errand for me to do at this bank today! I eagerly accepted this task because now I will get my walking taco on behalf of my in-laws by doing their bank business for them! How cool is that? It makes me quite happy. :) Can't wait for lunch! Walking tacos TWO days in a row! Yipee!

    Ha. We are so the same - getting excited (and debating opening accounts at places) because of free stuff. Especially free FOOD. :)

    What is a "Walking Taco"? Does it move? Does that mean the contents are still alive? Must be really fresh.

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
