Dandy-isms.

Do you know what makes for a dandy day?

Anxiously anticipating your girly check-up for the better portion of the last 24 hours, checking in at an impeccable 1:40-on-the-dot for your 2:00pm appointment, and then effectively being forgotten for the next hour and twenty-five minutes.

I never got my yearly violation. Heck, I never even got called back for my vitals.

At 3:04, the receptionist offered to call in my Zyrtec prescription for me right then (until I can reschedule my check-up) if I "could just have a seat and wait right here for a few more minutes." I explained to her that I had to leave right now (Philip had a meeting to get to after picking up A.J. from school), and she said she'd call our home and leave me a message regarding the prescription. Okey doke.

I had the cell phone, but I knew that Philip would be waiting at the school already for A.J., so I just set out walking, trying to intercept them rather than waste precious minutes in his going home and then coming back to get me. When I walked out the door of the clinic at 3:05, I knew I had only about seven minutes to get to the school and "catch" him. And I did, but I had to book it all the way.

Fun times, I tell you.

"In the ghettoooooo."

Tonight was 'Ghetto' Enchilada Night. It might be known to others as 'Nicole-forgot-to-see-if-we-had-cream-of-chicken-soup-so-she-used-mushroom-soup-instead' Enchilada Night. And there are some that might even go so far as to call it 'Dude-you-only-had-four-of-the-needed-twenty-corn-tortillas-and-tortilla-CHIPS-are-not-considered-an-acceptable-replacement' Enchilada Night. Whatever you call it, it did still turn out pretty tasty!

• Soup/sour cream mixture


• Stretch four tortillas to cover 9x13 pan


• Beef/bean mixture


• Tortilla chips


• Remaining soup/sour cream mixture


• Cheese

Mmmmmmm. Mmmmmm and... crunchy? Yes, a bit crunchier than normal. But hey! What's life without a little extra jaw action? ;-)

Gaming.

We received this item in the mail today (no, that's not the auction I actually won). How fun! The box is still shrink-wrapped even! Brand. New. Game.

You know, except that it's been around for a little while. ;-)

gardenmama, is this similar to the HP game you've told me about?
