Stupid things people do on vacation...

#1- Go to a REALLY nice restaurant with all three kids in tow. Here is a picture of me at the table BY MYSELF. Well, JJ is sleepin. The big boys are in the bathroom. Tip: If your kids are having trouble with regularity, take them out to eat, they'll be cured. The nicer the restaurant the quicker the cure! Trust me on this people. Props to Cantina Laredo, oh heaven help us all that was one dinner I'll never forget! I had 3 enchiladas. A chicken with poblano cream sauce, a beef with a chili sauce, and a cheese/onion with a chili sauce. I was really annoying while I ate I'm sure, but I was So-Ho-Oh happy at the experience!
#2: Pay $20 bucks to eat at Ben & Jerry's just because it's on the water making it more fun. I paid $5.50 for a pint of ice cream called Chubby Hubby. Once again, props to the Chubby Hubby variety. Peanut butter filled fudge dipped pretzels in a vanilla malt ice cream. Oh Please! My local grocery does not carry this flavor but I can get Fudgey Monkey at Kroger for $2.50 a pint.
#3: Seriously consider purchasing a pair of coon skin hats. I cannot post the pic of me in this because I look possessed or something. It was a bah-ha-had picture, but here are my little Davey Crocket's . Aren't they the cutest little things you ever saw?!?!
#4: And last but not least-Forgetting to look in the mirror to check the back of your hair before exiting the room. This confirms that my husband does not look at me. I have a clump of hair the size of Texas sticking up in the back and nobody bothered to tell me. Lord have mercy.

Can I head your book tour when you write your book? I'm one of your biggest fans. I am LOL-ing at your blog right now. And listening to your precious boys outside my window yell, "Daddy! Throw it to me!" LOVE it. Hope your jewelry stuff went well tonight? Amy B.
