We just had a great dinner. I’m full, but not so full that I don’t feel like I can do anything. Just full enough.

We had burritos for dinner. Yum!

My husband and I love Mexican food, but for some reason we don’t eat it very often. It’s probably been a year since we last made burritos or tacos at home. Too long.

Considering how much we both like Mexican food I don’t know why we don’t eat it at least once a month. It’s fairly cheap to make too. At least the basic stuff like tacos and burritos anyway. LOL

When Chris and I lived in an apartment we used to go to this great Mexican restaurant regularly. I can’t remember the name of it right now, but it’s located just south west on Yonge street at Eglinton, here in Toronto.

There are a couple of really good Mexican restaurants on the Danforth as well. Very close to where we live now, but of course we haven’t been to either one in ages and likely won’t be going out to dine for a while since we just don’t have any money to spare on eating out.

I’m going to have to find some good recipes for Mexican food so that we can have it more often and of course have some variety.

I do have a great recipe for guacomole (If I can find it!). Several years ago we went to a Mexican restaurant downtown and we enjoyed their guacamole so much we talked the server into getting the recipe for us. He also got permission from the restaurant to sell us one of those big guacamole dishes that are made out of lava rock (I think).

If you know of a good website for Mexican recipes or if you have some favorite recipes of your own that you’d like to share please let me know.

This elderly lady sure had a lot more energy than I do lately! I can only hope that if I reach her age I’ll be able to do a stretch like that! LOL Or at least be somewhat active!

This picture also reminds me that I should look into wrinkle treatments as I age if I want to be a decent looking old lady. wink.

I’ve been overtired for about a month now and being on Benadryl for the last five or so days didn’t help! I had an allergic reaction to yet another new medication – hives, itching and other unpleasant side effects .. so I spent the last several days with a bobbing head as I tried to stay awake.

Then, early this morning I woke up from a strange dream and I couldn’t get back to sleep for a long time. So even though I’m not taking allergy meds anymore I’m still overtired. Sigh.

The way things have been going for me lately I doubt I’ll be as spry as that little old lady in the photo if I ever reach her age! Do you ever have weeks or months were you just feel worn out?

My husband and I seem to watch a lot of TV shows that are filmed in New York city and without fail … every time my husband sees a shot of the city he starts talking about visiting New York.

He’s been there once before, back when he was in college they had a weekend trip to New York and he loved it. However, I’ve never been there – although I’ve always wanted to go.

So … we decided that maybe next spring, if we’re doing a little better on the financial front, maybe we’ll go to New York for a long weekend or perhaps even a week. I’ll do some searches for new york cheap hotel and hopefully find other inexpensive things that we can do while we’re there.

For those of you who live in or near New York or who’ve been there a few times – do you have any suggestions as to places we should see or things we should do while we are there? Keeping in mind of course that we probably won’t have much money to spend so free or cheap ideas are best.
