Taco seasoning

We ran out of the our normal taco seasoning this weekend. I had the brilliant idea to make taco dip and forgot to buy more. I decided it was time to try to make my own. They have all those pins saying how great and easy it is. 

I have to say- I am SO happy I made it. The reduced salt was enough to make me love it. Too much salt makes my hands achy. The homemade mix tasted so much better, it had a fresher taste to me, if that makes any sense.  

I can not recommend trying this enough! It's not hard or time consuming and it's very tasty!

One of those days

It's Friday - I should be happy. My boyfriend will be home for the weekend, my son has tball, good times ahead.

Wrong!

This has been one of THOSE days!

One of the first things I do each morning is get coffee. I am not ashamed to say I am a HUGE coffee addict. :) I spilled my coffee this morning while pouring and picking up my cup. I should have known then and gone back to bed.

While getting dressed, my bra straps snapped off and were non repairable. While, the bra was old, I did not see that coming.

I also notice that my glasses frames are cracked in 2 places. HUGE bummer as it's my 2nd pair to crack in 2 days. Thank heavens for Zenni Optical.

I was getting dressed for yard work, so I was putting on my workout pants. Who wants to mow the lawn in nice clothes? :) My pants ripped out in the crotch. YIKES! Can you say, glad I was inside and not out???

While mowing the yard I mowed over a root, which I do often. The lawn mower stalled. While attempting to start it again, smoke started billowing out and sparks started flying. My son was kind enough to point out the gas was pouring out of the tank. We quickly put the lawn mower somewhere safe. I went to borrow the in laws, as they live 5 houses away, and I can't start it to finish. The lawn is not meant to be mowed by me today.

Now, I have been known to be somewhat of a fire starter, unintentional of course. I have blown up my fair share of microwaves. I have been doing really well on not starting anything lately. Today though, while trying to multi task, I microwaved a silver spoon. Luckily, it was noticed before any real damage was done.

My son got a lesson on NOT microwaving metal. :)

Luckily the day is almost over and my boyfriend will be home soon. I am definitely not cooking tonight. This day needs to be DONE! :)

Hope you all got a chuckle. Tomorrow this will be cracking me up!

Happy weekend all!
