Finding Unnecessary and Avoidable Adventure on a Semi-Occasional Basis
One of the best Saturday meals is “breakfast dinner” which is featured this evening. The skillet is ready with pancakes and bacon, the latter of which caused the Boy to emerge from his hibernation in the basement, smiling and ready to pounce.
“I smell bacon.”
It’s in the genes.
Happy “and a half” birthday to this blog’s most frequent writer and foremost authority on fast food Tex-Mex. Moo is 9 and a half today!
Do you know how much I like Taco Bell? A LOT! If you were to ask me,”Which do you like better, Papa John’s or Taco Bell?” You know what I would say? “TACO BELL!” That would be a hard decision you know. I really do love Papa John’s. But man, Taco Bell is pretty good! And guess what? My dad asked me what I wanted for dinner. And I said….. TACO BELL! So he started cracking up.
Now do you see why the title is called Taco Bell?
Editor’s Note: A number of “!!!!!!!!!!!!”s were stricken from the title due to the editor’s disdain for excessive punctuation. The writer would like all readers to understand this change in the title in no way dilutes her enthusiasm for Taco Bell TM
It’s my birthday! And, it’s snowing! And I had hotcakes for breakfast!
Happy New Year!
This morning my mom woke me up at 9:00 to go to church. Mass was at 10:00 and I had to get ready and everything. You don’t know how tired I was. I didn’t even know that I slept in that late! I was so tired because I stayed up to watch the ball drop on TV. I live in IL. I don’t understand, when the ball drops it’s not even 2012 in Illinois. I watched Pit-bull and Lady Gaga sing on Dick Clark’s Rockin New Year’s. My sister did watch Justin Beiber sing, but I plugged my ears cause I can’t stand him. A little bit before the ball dropped, my sister wanted a piece of potica, so my dad just gave her a gigantic piece. I believe it was the size of an elephant!
Anyway, enjoy the new year!
This morning…
Me: “Maggie, what do you want for breakfast?”
Mags: “Hmmm, let me think”
Annie: “How about potica? We have some that Grandma made us for Christmas.”
Maggie: “For breakfast? Mom wouldn’t let me have that for breakfast.”
Annie: “Grandma would”
For Christmas all I wanted is my own room. Last night my Dad had a talk to me on how to get my own room. My neighbor makes these cookies called Monster Cookies. They have M&Ms and Chocolate chips. My Dad said instead of giving Santa sugar cookies or chocolate chip cookies, we will go over to our neighbors and say,”Mrs. P., I have a big present on my mind that I want to get from Santa. In order to get it from him could you help me make monster cookies. A few days later I asked her she said she would get me some! On Christmas day I GOT MY OWN ROOM! On Christmas Eve Santa didn’t move beds and every thing. In the note Santa wrote to us, he said to be patient. My mom said it would be a good winter project for us to work on.
Over Thanksgiving break we went over to Virginia to see my awesome cousins. We got them a present. We got them a hot wheels track. The 3 cars that lose fly off the track. The other car wins. George, Andrew, Thomas caused big ca motion. But soon enough they are better and happy again. Sammy-the youngest- just walks around the house happy as can be and gets interested in all the cars, but then moves on to some different car. My brother, Jimmy, ate his Thanksgiving dinner in a tree with my cousin, George. My Uncle Patrick put up a table into the tree house George and Jimmy ate in. I mean, what else could they eat on? Thomas wanted to eat with me. He said,” Maggie, can you sit with me?’ He’s awesome! Andrew also said,” I want to sit by Maggie too!” Man, they must like eating with me! We also went to see Sr. Mary Grace at her high school. After that we went to a park about 5 minutes away from the high school. We were right next to the Potomac River. We went down to the beach and collected river shells. I found about 13 of them. George found a lot more than me! I had an awesome time with the boys! They are pretty awesome cousins!
Here’s another challenge from Larry the Goat, but it was for my dad! One night, my dad had to guess where Larry the Goat went! There was only one clue for my dad. The clue was: ‘This country is the biggest country in the world, by it’s area.’ “Russia”, my dad said. “You’re right!”, said me and Moo at the same time.And that’s the Larry the Goat Challenge II!
Every night my Dad tells me and Mushugamah stories. There is an imaginary friend named Larry the goat. Sometimes he goes to different countries. My Dad gives us one clue each night so we can guess where he goes. One time Larry the goat went to a country, but I can’t tell you the country yet. The first clue was that the ride on bikes. I guessed China because people in China ride on bikes alot! The second clue was that they make lots of bread. I guessed Germany. I don’t really know why I guessed Germany. The third clue was that they have cheese there. I guessed Wisconsin! I completely forgot we were guessing countries! The Fourth clue was that there is a very famous architecture there. I guessed France! And it was RIGHT! So the Country was France!
