I first fell in love with guacamole at Tortilla Jo’s — a mexican restaurant in the Downtown Disney area at Disneyland.  At TJ’s they come to your table with a cart and make guac right in front of you — made to order, just as you like.  Oh but the fun doesn’t stop there — they also leave a heaping bowl of these thin, salty corn tortilla chips.  The perfect SHOVEL to move the guac from the bowl to my salivating mouth.  Ahhhh.  Heaven.  I think I still have the original 5 pounds I gained that day when I first took guac as my lover in Anaheim.

Spring is a funny fickle season.  Most of us live on the east coast JUST so we can experience spring and fall. Well — today wasn’t about daffodils and crocus!    Happy April 9th from Lancaster, PA – where our daughter Erin goes to school at Franklin and Marshall College.  #ChooseHappiness365 (148/365)

Ciao for now….Diane

— yeah yeah, we know.  But sometimes, you have a love affair with an Entenmann’s marshmallow devil’s food cake.  S.o.m.e.t.i.m.e.s. <3

Guilt aside…..that was almost a week ago and since that chocolatey, sumptuous, slip into the SmartPoint hole….I tracked it all, took the hit on my weekly points and have been eating like a champion ever since.  I’m finishing the week net/net zero.  Not in the red on either WPs or FitPoints.

Two things today.

#1 – The moving company who came to give us an estimate today said that if my career in finance doesn’t work out — he’d hire me into his packing department.  Apparently….this.girl.has.mad.skills!!  🙂

#2 – We took a break from packing and had lunch at Chipotle.  Chicken, black beans, some brown rice, tomato salsa and a bit of cheese over a salad.  Mmmmmmm,  Happiness in a bowl!

Peter and I made a quick run to the mall tonight in the rain — to return something we bought online…that just didn’t work out).  🙁

As we were walking q.u.i.c.k.l.y. through the parking lot, trying (unsuccessfully) to dodge raindrops…my eye caught this lady walking to her car under the protection of a bubble umbrella!

I’m So grateful for bubblewrap!

Peter, if Jewel is missing later — check one of the boxes in the kitchen.  I might’ve gotten carried away!
