Adding Guacamole

Feeling so savvy - I figured out how to make a picture collage!
And, of course, the rest of the world already knows how to do this . . .
I had lunch today with a good friend. We'd planned to meet at 11:30, so I pulled into the parking lot a little after 11:00 because I hate to be late, and found myself in the cutest little strip mall. So, naturally, I had to look around. There's something special about walking along those quant little shops, sporting my dark red moccasins and bright turquoise purse that I got for almost 90% off its sale price, with cash in my pocket but no intention of spending any of it, feeling the cool breeze as it scatters the drops of sunshine into a fine mist that makes the air sparkle, simply observing and breathing it all in. It makes me feel so grown up, which is a rare feeling. Most of the time, I feel like I have the mind of an 80-year-old, with the heart of a teenager and the spirit of a toddler.

We met for lunch at SeƱor Patrons, a delicious Mexican restaurant. If the picture weren't so fuzzy, you could see the name through my car windshield in the picture of my shoes and truck, which I just had to take because I was feeling so put together. Most people think themselves classy if they can match their watch to their shirt. Me, I match my shoes to my truck. We're so cute together.

I ordered the Burrito Asada, which was to die for. Reading through the menu, I was sold when it said " . . . steak . . . and guacamole." I told my roommate one time while we were talking about English Majors (which we both were) and how much money they supposedly don't make, "I just want to make enough money to never have to think twice about adding guacamole." Then my friend asked for her dish without the guac and I almost had to reconsider our friendship. No, I'm only joking.

The food was great. The company was even better. So long as that is never flipped, I'd say life is pretty good. And life is good. Just the other day my blog reached fifteen international views from six different countries. You have no idea how exciting that was. I definitely did a victory dance because if the kids on the show Newsies (great show) can sing and dance about a tub of boiling water, I think I can justify a victory dance.
I shared this "exciting" news with my friend and that got us talking about my blog.
"What do you write about?" she asked.
Oh, boy. Good question. If anyone has the answer to that, I would love to hear it.
"Just about anything. Mostly life and big ideas,"I responded.
"Why don't you write a post about 'I can't?'" she suggested.
Great idea.
Gosh, dang it. The dryer's buzzing at me. I better start packing for our trip to Disney (so excited!).

 . . . To be continued.

Candidly,
