Recipe--Pork Tacos
I made this for dinner last night after not having made it for about 6 months. I don't know how this fell off my cooking radar because it is so easy and so tasty. (In reality, it probably fell off my radar since I haven't been cooking much in the last few months, but that is coming to end, I promise.)
I have made one change and that is sprinkling Johnny's Season Salt on it after I braize the pork. If you haven't tried this, you should.

Listen Universe I was Joking
A few days ago, I posted THIS post. In the last 48 hours, toothsome #4 fell on her face and now has a very swollen upper lip and toothsome #1 blew a hole in his church pants. Listen Universe, I was joking. I wasn't serious about those things happening, so back off.

I now Own a Photo Copier and Nobody seems to care
Recently, my husband surprised me and brought home a photocopier for our house. Not a scanner, but a true, real life photocopier. I was raised with one and have asked for one many times, so I was thrilled to get it. I
I really thought I was super cool to have one. Growing up, we were the only people I knew who had one. I thought, "I will tell people and they will say, 'Oh how wonderful. What a great thing to have. I wish I had one.'"
Instead, after announcing it at my book club, several people people just shrugged and said, "Oh, I have one." At church, I got the same response.
What in the world? When did it become common place to have a photocopier in one's house? To my friend's credit, they did say, "Oh, we have one and love ours. I know you will love yours too." So, it is not like they were mean about me being the last one to get one, but still! I love my photocopier and I promise, if you get one (but you probably already have one), I will act surprised and little bit jealous. The catty me was really hoping for that response.

Family Picture Taken
After months of planning and several reschedulings, the family picture is now completed. My children can now get all of the rashes they want, fall on their faces while playing, destroy their church clothes--whatever. The pictures are done.

Folliculitis
Did I mention that after rescheduling our family photo several times, we are having it taken tomorrow?
Did I mention that yesterday, while helping my daughter get dressed, I noticed she had this horrible rash on her legs and arms?
Did I mention when she got home from school, I noticed it had spread to her face?
Did I mention that I rushed her to the after hours pediatrician and after hearing him say several times, "Oh this is concerning" he diagnosed her with folliculitis?
If you didn't click over to my webmd link, I will tell you that follicultis is a staph infection in the skin follicles.
Did I mention that we got her on antibiotics that night hoping it will clear up fast?
Did I mention that our family picture is tomorrow afternoon and my daughter has folliculitus on her face?

Ok, I have discovered another time waster and I don't need anymore. For months, I have had friends tell me to join Facebook. I always laughed and said, "No way! I have no time for another Internet thing." Goodreads, e-mail, blogging, people.com, Perez Hilton as well as Glen Beck, Dr. Laura, KSL and Rush Limbaugh take up plenty of my time.
Well, today, I got another invite to join a community from my BYU days. I couldn't resist and I joined Facebook. My plans to get my house back into order? Totally frustrated! Why? Because today I spent more time than I want to admit, finding names on Facebook that I haven't thought about in years. YEARS! It has been so fun but so time wasting I can hardly come to terms with it. So, now I have to give myself time limits on the computer. I think this is the only way to still be a responsible wife and mother and have some fun on-line. But, just so I don't come across as a total loser, I did make dinner tonight, cleaned my butler's pantry, took my son to soccer, started reading three different books, read with two kids, handled a bunch of stuff relating to my husband's car accident, did some work at Dentist husband's office and wiped off my kitchen counters several times. I need to go vacuum. My roomba can only do one room at a time.
