Nemesis

We are waiting to have our taxes done and I see it, my nemesis.

I eye it and then look away, glancing occasionally wanting it.

I think 'oh no, you're not going to get me this time.'

We get called into the office and get our taxes done.

We start leaving and I think all I have to do is go out the door without looking at it.

Hippie says "Do you want some?"

The moment of truth.  The temptation too great I say "Yes."

I walk out with two boxes of Trifold Girl Scout cookies.  Darn!!  I almost got away!

Vegan

I don’t know if I've mentioned before, my son’s girlfriend was a vegetarian.  As of January 2012, she became a vegan.  Since my son doesn’t cook much at home, he pretty much eats what she eats. 

When we go out to Vegas, he usually eats meat at every meal we’re paying for, ha.

When he was home in January, the day he came home it was ll:30 at night so earlier in the day I made sloppy joe’s.  I thought it would be easy and he could eat whenever he wanted.   I also made (at his request) pot roast one day.  The issues came one night when hippie, our son and one of his buddies went to get wings.  That night, he got really sick and then next day as well.  I think it was too greasy and his system isn’t used to that.

It’s so strange to me the things he eats as an adult.  I never cooked with many vegetables (he loves them).  I never cooked with many spices (he loves them).  We never ate Indian, Mexican, Chinese, etc. (he loves different kinds of food). 

My tastes haven’t really changed much from when I grew up.  Although I do eat more vegetables then when I was young!
