Taco Bell

Last night we were discussing different things in life when Taco Bell was brought up. It was discussed that each of us has our guilty pleasure there. For one it was Nachos Bell Grande and another it was a #8 - I don't remember what the #8 is. For me, it is the Crunchy Fresco Tacos. I gave in today and purchased fast food for lunch for the first time this entire year! Ok I really ran out of time last night, talking with family, for me to make lunches so Rick said, why don't you just go buy lunch tomorrow. I have a million+ options near work but one place stood out very clearly in my mind. I had to go to Taco Bell.
I remember the VERY first time I ate there. I was 17 years old and had just graduated from high school. I was visiting my dad and family in Seattle. The boy across the street was a bat boy for the Mariners and he took me to a game. After we stopped at Taco Bell. Prior to this time, we had always had Time Time. (The Taco Time on 400 south which was next door to a Taco Bell to be specific. We ate there 2 or 3 times a week in my memory. They had felt pictures on the walls of bull fighters. But Taco Time is not the point of this blog.)
I believe I ordered 2 tacos. I don't know if I specified soft or crunchy and really don't know which I received. I do remember the lovely yellow wrapping. So this boy and I were eating out Taco Bell at like 11:00 pm - really the only the acceptable time to eat Taco Bell. I do remember that for some reason I didn't eat my second taco. Not only that, I slid it under the seat of this guy's car. It was some yellow mustang type car. Something I am sure he babyed.
Now here's the thing, he ended up being a jerk and later on in life I remembered that hidden taco and laughed to myself. Even now, more than 15 years later, I still laugh at the stench that he must have found in his car weeks later.

Yankees at the Mariners

We arrived just as the gates were getting ready to open. We were given foam hands, but just tucked them away as souvenirs.
This was before I took the boys shopping.
Kenzie was good enough to sport the WaMu backpack that was given to me.


It has come time for me to blog about our baseball game in Seattle. It was AWESOME! My first pro game was back in 1993...Rangers at the Mariners. I was able to go in 1994 to see the Braves. (Can't remember who they played though.) Both times we were pretty far out, this time we were right behind home plate. My dad mentioned that we could check out batting practice beforehand so we were able to catch that too. McKenzie went with us and we had an awesome time. The pitcher for the Mariner's was in his MLB debut. He threw a no hitter for 7 2/3 innings. It was so much fun once the crowd realized what was going on. They SO got into it. I think that he did a great job.(if you see a resemblance between McKenzie and me, please comment. Rick says he can see it but isn't exactly sure what it is. For those of you that don't know, Kenzie is my half brother.)

Sunday Nothingness

So now that I am not at work, my last post seems pretty dang lame. Sorry about that. I also realized that several people took my ripping on not posting blogs more often to mean them. I guess I should have said who I was talking about...Carrie it's you. (Not you Carrie Ann.) Yeah my lovely sister in law who has adorable children who I want to hear more about. I only mentioned it because we had been talking right about that time that you hadn't posted a blog since the middle of July. It really is all good though as I have been able to see your babies so much this summer and I have photos of them that I have posted.

This Thursday we are headed to Seattle. I bought tickets for the Mariners/Yankees game on Friday night. The idiot sent me the wrong tickets! I have been calling the place I bought them through several times a day every day since Tuesday when they showed up. I still don't have my replacement tickets BUT I was just online checking out the website and there are several tickets available for them to replace mine so I am not as stressed as I could be.

I will not be taking my computer with me either. That means from Thursday - Tuesday night I won't be able to post any blogs. Just giving you some fair warning. I will have all sorts of news when we get back I am sure. Between Rick meeting my grandma and my aunt Joanne for the first time to hanging out with our friends from England and going to the Space Needle.

My life is pretty boring right now. I don't really feel like doing anything so nothing has been done. =) It is nice to be able to just sit back and do nothing. I most certainly am not complaining about having a boring life.

I am going to go read or watch tv or take a nap or something.... HAPPY LABOR DAY! Oh and the photo...just something I took a few years ago from my mom's front yard when I still lived there. I just didn't want to not have a photo on my post. I like looking at photos. Maybe I will start another blog with my photo stuff. I don't really do photography though...
