--We've been having a lot of tamales lately after stocking up at local farmers' markets. Does anyone else eat tamales with ketchup? Because I thought this was normal, but just found out that apparently it's not. And Thanksgiving ham with mustard? Also normal to me. The perfect mixture of flavors!
--I remember in high school (probably junior high too), all I wanted was a TV in my room. I was deprived for so long until Santa finally brought me one for Christmas. Now, I would give anything NOT to have a TV in our bedroom. It takes away from so much - sleep, conversation with my husband, reading. So much noise and distraction during a time that's supposed to be for winding down, for reflection on the day's events, time for peace and quiet. Funny how things change as you get older.
--My Mom's group started back up for the fall and it is a true breath of fresh air. Oh how I need fellowship with other exhausted women! It helps me regain perspective and realize that I'm not the only one out there that thinks parenting is hard.
--I've been reading more about eating natural foods - this whole Paleo trend. I think I'm going to jump on the bandwagon soon if we can stomach the cost of shopping at Whole Foods. Perhaps baby steps first - just focus on the dirty dozen and go from there.
--The State Fair is here!!! I just refrained from writing a thousand exclamation points after that statement.
--I'm drinking a blueberry beer as I write this while K is back burping our son. He is a good man, a fabulous father, the love of my life.
--Have y'all heard Some Nights by Fun? I typically don't let the radio go past volume 10 when driving in the car with the kids, even though I'd prefer 20+ with the windows down on this one. Should've Been by Citizen West (I think?) is another current fave.
--We are obsessed with the food truck Cajun Tailgators and have eaten there twice in the past week. Their boudin balls are delightful and heavenly. K loves the crawfish pistolette.
--People always ask where C gets his red hair. This is me when I was a baby. K's grandma also had red hair, so it's on both sides of the family.
--My bro tells me Seasons of Love has been neglected. Sadly he is right...
