{where the deer and the antelope play}

lets just start by saying that the holiday has not yet arrived but there have been multiple emotional outbursts. tomorow is going to be a long day. but whatev...

this morning i got up right as my sister was going back to bed. it was a tragedy because i wanted to play with her but she apparently did not have the same ideas. all was well in our household though because then i went to see my daddy and he took me to fix my car and then to lunch. actually, he didnt take me to lunch. he handed me a twenty and told me to bring him something. so i did. costa vida was my place of eating desires. i got a chicken salad (as always) and picked out a smoothered beef burrito for the father. back at his place of business we sat at his office and ate our delicious foods. yumm o! i love costa vida. it was a good time spending some one on one time (+the guy that works for him) with my father.

do you want to know what i did after my lunch date? i baked.

rolls and pies for tomorows festivities.

there is just something thrilling about rolling out a pie crust to be filled with yummy things. aaaaand i think the smell of yeast is just divine. therefore it was a fantabulous baking experience. (please note that my mom is now picking rolls off the pan and eating them. save some for tomorow, would ya?) i made three pie crusts this evening and my mom filled one with homemade punkie pie filling. half way through the baking she remembered she forgot to put sugar in the mix. heh. it was funnyish. never fear, it was added later. now i have two empty pie crusts waiting to be filled. what shall i add? tomorow you shall see, its a surprise. a very very tastey surprise. are you jealous that you wont be here for that? you probably should be.

anywho, then my mom took us children (meeeeegs and i) grocery shopping. the other sister didnt want to come. lame. it was a nice little trip to walmart. note that me madre is the queen of ad-matching. no, seriously. she also bought me onion blossom flavored pringles. cross those of my list of things to buy again. they are ok, just not re-buy worthy.

have you seen "the visitor"? we started watching it last night. so far its pretty decent. im going to finish it now. i'll let you know how it goes, not that all 3 of you care. especially since one of you is watching it with me. heh.

this break is turning out to be just loverly. word?
