Factoids

My dreams amuse me. And it's funny how my dream is brought to my conscious memory by a random thing I encounter during my day. Today I was looking through a kids' cookbook during my break at the library and saw the ingredient "cilantro". I was thinking to myself that in Panama, we grew culantro (related to cilantro) in our backyard, and it was soooo good. And then I remembered I dreamed about picking some last night, because I guess I was back in Panama. Only it didn't smell quite right. Because culantro has a very distinct, very strong smell. Weird.

I love the movie Where the Heart Is. I'm watching it now. It is just such a feel good movie :).

The new Taco Bell cantina tacos are gross. Not worth $1.49. They are dry. Their $2.00 meal deals are an awesome bargain, though. Especially for their 5-layer beef and bean burrito. Oh my gosh. Talk about filling. For like $2. 34 or so. And it's good too. (Even if it does resemble horse tongue...).

I have to apply for another job here in the next couple of days. It's nearby. It's a librarian position. It's part-time. I doubt I'll get it, because again, I'm underqualified according to what they want. I have not worked as a professional librarian for 3 years. (This means working as a librarian for 3 years post-graduate degree). But I'm going to apply anyway. Because why not?

I apparently don't have rhythm. Or something. I cannot keep up with the dancing off the pounds video. Not because I'm tired. I just can't learn the steps. Yikes! My dream of learning how to ballroom dance might not ever be fulfilled ;).

Despite my undying love for sugar cereals (like Fruity Pebbles and Cap'n Crunch), they just don't "stick" with me. But raisin bran does. And I love that. I will likely continue to buy the sugar cereals on occasion because they are good (and nobody makes fun of Nilla's cereal ;)). But I like that, if I eat raisin bran for breakfast, I am not hungry for a loooong time.

I went to get groceries for our back-to-school themed party and also for the dessert I'm making to take to Lea's on Monday as well as a few of the fixings for our taco dinner. My total came to exactly $20. Which I thought was cool :).

I'm going to go finish reading my book. Because I want to move on to the next one ;). I like to cross things off my list like that :).
