Underground Line dancing

Last night was ladies night with the girls from the neighborhood. I look forwad to this night all month. This time we went to Robin's to eat and be merry. Here is a glimpse of all the amazing food we ate. PS. on that table is jalenpeno, cheese pancakes that you dip in ranch. OMG good.

This was a winter sangria and it was dangerously amazing

After eating, drinking and feeling ready to get down with our bad selves, we went to the Electric Cowboy, a local county bar 1.5 minutes from our hood were all Westminster's finest go. This place is fun for a few reasons:
1) Line dancing. These folks line danced to everything from 50 cent, Kesha, and like a G6. Who knew!! Now lets not get confused, after one try of me line dancing, I gave up. These people are crazy about it and good. Me, not so much. I will stick to fist pumping which I did.

2) Beers were $1.50 . .my tab was $4.50. This is always a good thing.
3) People watching here. I really want to know where these people come from. I had no idea Westminster had these types of people, from under dressed girls in their prom dress to old men with no teeth. They must crawl out of their secret homes on Friday nights after practicing line dancing to Paula Abdul all week. This has to be the case.
4) The kind of people who line danced. Was surprising!!! There was some gangsta guys who were good and barbie looking girls who were better. I guess I just had a different image.

When I wasn't fist pumping, I found myself in a trance watching these people line dance. I was probably the creeper of the bar. Seriously, who knew a country club could be so much fun.

A new bathroom

For anyone that knows my home, it is not kid proof. We have taught Xavier to only play in one area and not touch anything on shelves. I like my house neat, orderly and with as few toys as possible. A huge step for me has recently been taken. Take a look at my downstairs bathroom:

Please note the pretty flower above the toilet and the porpoise grey walls that match perfectly with all the bathroom designs. Lets take a look at a few more things.
1) I have a sesame street toilet seat with a an Elmo and Big Bird swimming design
2) I have a cop car stool for easy access
3) I have no toilet paper b/c Xavier thinks he needs a whole roll when he is done peeing. (side note: the undone roll of toilet paper is in the top drawer to the left) I only say this in case you use this bathroom at my house and can't find the toilet paper.

Everyone needs a rice cooker

Tonight Javy went to buy a gun. Finally, we are safe from zombies, intruders, crazy neighbors, and anyone else who may enter our home uninvited. While he was out, and Xavier was grounded to his room for throwing a fit over a lollipop, I put this little treasure together.

Beijing beef, I had no clue what I was doing, but it smelled great. To go with the beefy delight I cooked up some rice. Who has one of these?

If you don't, go out and buy one, it's called a Tiger rice cooker. It is worth every penny for a few reasons:
1) it cooks rice perfectly every time
2) it cooks rice fast
3) it has gorgeous flower designs on it that you may have seen on your grandmothers comforter
I use this at least once per week, and never want to picture my life without it. EVER.

Never waste a Fry. Ever.

Let me tell you, I love my husband but, he sure is an interesting one. Tonight he made a chicken wing/tender feast. Xavier, ate all his food with minimal complaining except for 3 lonely french fries. I went to throw away these fries, but javy asked me to put them in his tupperwear of left overs for lunch tomorrow. Really? 3 french fries covered in ketchup and bleu cheese? I did what I was asked without question.

Javy also makes the best ice cream cones. I believe they are so good because they are made with love. I get frustrated that my cone is breaking, or ice cream is melting and give up on a quality cone.

 X was happy too. He rarely gets dessert because he rarely eats all his food with no complaining. Tonight was a treat.

An Epic Day

Today was many things:
1) An amazing, inspiring day at work. I truly love my job and my team.
2) A great dinner. Javy, X and I all went and had Pho at our fave Pho restaraunt down the street. We can only eat Pho in the winter when it is cold. It had been awhile and I was excited. I have mine with rare steak. Javy has his with every piece of the animal in it.

3)A succesfull trip to Ross ( I should pay rent here due to be being there every other day)  Xavier always gets a toy at Ross. Today he got cops cars and firetrucks.

Javy was excited too

4) A wonderful night with my fam. We came home and all sat by the fire. I sang Christmas songs since the Christmas station isn't playing on TV yet ("Chestnuts roasting over the open fire" to be exact).

Xavier and I spent the whole together while Javy was at his Hunters saftety course. Xavier must have got sick of me, he came to me and said "Bye Momma" he had his batman halloween bucket with his shoes in it. Apparently he was going somewhere without me.

To distract him a bit we had a photo shoot with his fave toys

I learned that this dinosaur is a triceratops.

True story

True story. Last Christmas my wonderful mother got Javy and I a new knife set. We got it, opened it, and  put all the knives away. However, I was more excited about the chicken poker that came with the knives. I couldn't believe it, I finally had a chicken poker. Javy then informed me it was a knife sharpener. PS. what the heck would I use a chicken poker for? Why would anyone really need to poke a chicken? Who knows but I was excited.
