[DisneyIsTerrific]

Ooooh. . .taco bake?? That sounds yummy!!! Is it hard to make?

Very simple to make! I just follow the directions on the box!!! It's Old El Paso Soft Taco Bake Dinner Kit. I'm sure you could do it on your own, but my grocery store is always having these buy one, get one free so I take advantage of it. I do doctor it a bit because the cheese sauce they give is not enough so I just mix it in with the meat and put my own cheese on top and then serve with salsa and sour cream. My family loves it. It's quick and simple, which is what I love!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oh, I love meals from a box. I'm a very good meals from a box cook.

 

[PinballFamily]

Mornin' everyone!

Hope the sniffly ones are getting better - Holly, how are you feeling? Did the meds kick in? PM me your address so I can mail out the rock tumbler if we can find it. We also had an extra box of supplies, I think...I'll see what I can find.

Thanks guys.
Got an 8:30 appointment with doctor. He sent us to the Hospital for a chest Xray. Won't hear anything until this afternoon and only if it shows something.
Little Bit gets to stay home today, but if Xray is clear, he has to go back tomorrow.

 

[morgansmom2000]

I'm at work. Left early (right as PrincessM got on the bus), so I could run to Macy's and get jackets for $14.99 to donate to the coat drive. OMG! I am not the most patient of people, but it was completely insane there. Actually, it wasn't even that busy (I found a parking space right next to the ramp to get in), but there were people there trying to be "creative" with their coupons. Don't get me wrong, I get it...But there were 2 people in line in front of me and it took over 20 minutes to get out of the store. Man...

Anyway, I hope all the sickies are feeling better and that everyone has a great day!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

AWM, hope Little Bit is starting to feel better!!!!

 

[PinballFamily]

Boy - major ADD today - I have a bunch of housework stuff started, but very little actually finished! I just keep looping around...

AWM - hope x-rays come back clear - be thinking of you.

MM - wow - what a great way (not!) to start your day! Hope it gets better from here...

 

[morgansmom2000]

I thought my head was going to explode. I know my boss wouldn't be here and he'd be extra okay with it since it's for a donation, but still, I don't like to be late. I kept having to remind myself to breathe!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Thankfully he feels better. He isn't out for the count. His cough just sounds horrible. I'm afraid of what will be coming out when he does. ICK!

If we don't hear anything this afternoon, it means the reader didn't see anything of concern.

He is playing quietly now. Well, quiet for him. The clones are still doing serious damage to the droids, but at least the leader isn't running around shouting orders.
