finally, a good taco

+ the little and i spent the day in ashland, hanging out at a cafe while she sketched/did homework and i read/wrote a bit. 

it was so nice! 

after that, we went to a little mexican food place that is decent. even though they put peas in their spanish rice. the beans, though? those are very good....so they must be using manteca. ;) 

i had the birria tacos which were amazing, and in a HUGE show of willpower, i only had one and a few bites of beans and rice. the rest are ready for mister to have for dinner. 

in a not so huge show of willpower, i had a really small, unfrosted cinnamon roll thing that was flaky and caramelized and worth every single calorie and bit of sugar and fat in it. 

THOSE are the splurges i can get behind. ;)

tonight for snacky-time, i'm going to cut up a few mini cucumbers and sprinkle them with a bit of caldo and pepper. *nod* veggies for the win. 

+ thrift stores are failing me, people. the size 12s they had? too big AND ugly. the 10s? too small and....also ugly. at the point i was trying them on, i was bemoaning the fact that i only have one pair of jeans that fit. all the others are too big OR too small. IT IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE RIGHT NOW. 

i did find four really cute sweaters that i snatched up, so it wasn't a complete waste.
