Motivation

I have learned when I get the urge to do somehing I better do it. And tonight I did it. I finally washed my car. I have needed to do it since summer vacation. Tonight I got the motivation to wash it. I don't know where it came from. I got home from work at 3:30 and then watched House while I ate my dinner/lunch. Then I went in my room and got crackin on the homework. I wrote 1/2 of one paper, typed up an observation I did on Sunday and posted my two required posts for my online class all in an hour and a half. Now all I need to do is finish the paper I started and type up one other paper. After I stopped the homework for the night I came into the livingroom and played the piano for half an hour. You would think I would be tired but for some reason I decided to wash my car. Granted it was 6:30 at night and dark outside, but we have a street light at the end of the driveway and the light from the shed in the side yard gave me enough light to kinda see what I was doing. We will see tomorrow how well I did.

Hopefully it will look this shiny and new!

Random

I didn't have anything specific to blog about so I decided I would just blog what I am thinking about right now.

The Weekend.

I WANT TO DO SOMETHING! I want to get out of the house, hang out with friends, and have a fun weekend. Do I have friends to hang out with? Not really. Sure I have the few people I talk to at church or at work but we don't go out. I don't know about things that are happening over the weekends or have anyone to go with.

A guy from work asked me if I wanted to go to Schnepf farms with him this weekend. Great, now I have to figure out a polite way to say no thank you. I don't want to go out with him for two reasons, 1. He is not a member of the church, and 2. I work with the guy, that would make things very awkward. Just ask one of the teachers who was going out with another teacher and then broke up with him. Yes, definitely awkward.
NO THANK YOU!

Does this blog sound depressing? Well, it is. Yes I am depressed. I get this way when I stop and think about how long it has been since I have been on a date. I know I will get over it, I usually do, I stop thinking about it and stay busy with everything that I need to be doing. When I am like this I just have to hang tough and wait for it to pass.

Tacos

Chicken tacos, shredded beef tacos, ground beef tacos, carne asada tacos, fish tacos, crunchy tacos, soft tacos,

EGG TACOS!

Thats right, egg tacos! Many times I have made a breakfast dish involving eggs and corn tortillas. It is one of my favorite breakfast dishes. I made it again yesterday and it occured to me that they were egg tacos. Now I have a name for my dish.

What's in an egg taco?

I scramble eggs to my liking. I call it slow and low. I don't stir the eggs while they cook, I gently fold them. It takes a little longer this way but the taste is incredible. I scramble one egg for each taco. So yesterday I had three tacos so I scrambled 3 eggs.

After the eggs are done I set them aside. I melt some butter in a pan and heat a corn tortilla in the butter. The corn tortilla needs to be warm enough so it won't tear when you fold it. When my tortillas are done I put them on a plate, add egg to each tortilla and top it with cheese and Pico de Gallo.

MMMMMMMMMMMM!!! You should give it a try sometime!
