Thursday Tidbits

1. I mailed my passport renewal forms in today. I have tropical dreams that require a valid passport and mine expires 4/21/2010.

2. I checked out "Start where you are: A guide to compassionate living" by Pema Chodron at the library today. I also spent twenty minutes flipping through dreamy magazines about sewing, journal writing and yoga.

3. I went to 2 consignment sales and didn't buy anything!!!

4. My Christmas present from mom arrived in the mail today. I cannot wait to wear it.

5. We had the easiest yummiest tacos ever tonight via Make it Fast, Cook it Slow. It's kind of like this recipe here, but I went with the book version altered a bit. Throw 2 chicken breasts, 1 can of rinsed black beans, 1 cup of frozen corn, 1 can of Rotel, and 1/2 cup of water into the crock pot. Flip it on high and cook for 4-5 hours. Shred chicken with forks and stuff inside tortillas. Top with avocado slices, sour cream, diced tomatoes, lettuce and jalapenos. Good stuff.

6. I made 1 batch of brownies and 2 banana breads.

7. Mario is working tonight so I am having an early pajama night with a novel.

8. Wesley now wants me to 'hold him to the sky' before bed each night. I'm not exactly sure what that means or what it is, but I am enjoying our standing and holding on snuggles at bed time.
