Even if you hate the rest of taco bell (which I don't) their potato fry like things are the best. BTW the little hick town I live in (Olympia, WA) has had taco carts the past few years. If I want real Mexican food, they are a decent option. The best Mexican food in the area is still a few miles away in Chehalis. (Some of the best tamales I've ever had. And I've had Tamales in Ensenada, San Diego, Los Angeles, Houston and Austin. Plus homemade by neighbors from Costa Rica.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am hating trying to fill out gifts. my mom has 4 things on her list. 4! My dad has nothing that mac is interested in buying. And worst of all, I just keep running into things I LIKE while search for something slightly unique or cool for them.
I went to a craft show and bought one gift for a friend (which needs a something else with it.) and two things for me!
Also, I just put up my tree. I bought it from the lot that delivers. I found about 7-8 cocoons on little branches near the bottom as I was putting it in the stand. Ugh. The plus side, I know it isn't sprayed. The downside, I have silk curtains. I guess I need to do a closer look. I also need to make a pie for a shower for Ouise's sister (RahRah) tomorrow.
She then proceded to tell me that large was bigger.
Oh, well, if it's bigger.
fine fien fine - I finished off my mom and dad's gifts.
I will do some real store shopping for some things maybe tomorrow.
I'm off to Meyers in a bit for their Annual warehouse sale. I don't know why the crowds don't bother me there, but they don't. It's not quite as packed as the mall, though.
She then proceded to tell me that large was bigger.
Oh, well, if it's bigger.
When this used to happen to me in movie theatres, if the clerk was too pushy I would always let them know that I did not want the super jumbo whatever drink because then I had to pee several times during the movie. Usually they stopped trying to push me.
Smonster and amyth got me out of the apartment complex today. It was lovely—a whole wide, slightly drizzly, world. I also managed to find a lovely gift for a friend of mine who has inadvertently become the sysadmin for her company. It's a USB drive pendant with a lovely, delicate scrolling purple pattern on it. I think she could wear it as jewelry if she wanted (she loves purple), and then have something to drag hard drive repair tools from station to station as needed. Score!
LJ is hating on me right now. Frustrating. I just want to post a reply, dammit.
It's not 3pm yet and I'm knackered. I've gone shopping with Matilda, and got stuff for stew and chili and cookies.
Came back and made a huge pot of the Jack Devine stew for Emmett and myself, and the Moroccan spiced veggie chili for JZ and Matilda.
I need to get out of the house. I think it's time to shoo everybody out.
