New Christmas Traditions
My husband and I never celebrated Christmas with our families when we were growing up. Our families didn't believe in celebrating Christmas because a date of Christ's birth was never given in the Bible and they viewed it as a pagan tradition. My husband and I left the church, that we were raised in, many years ago and we celebrated our first Christmas when my son was around 3-years-old.

Black Friday: Lessons Learned
I wasn't actually planning on going to any stores on Black Friday, but when a friend called and asked if I could go, well she didn't have to twist my arm too much. We weren't originally going to go to Toys R Us for their sale that started at 10PM on Thursday, but my friend saw a few items that she wanted to try and get there.

Dang Automated Red Light Cameras!
It was only last week when we received our first Automated Red Light Enforcement ticket. I always wondered what they cost and I now know it's $75. In my husband's defense, he did turn right on red at Hulen/Granbury, and after seeing the video footage, my husband submitted the form to contest it. I'm curious to what the outcome will be.

3 Day Potty Training: My Experience
Day 1 I was concerned when I woke up on "Day 1" because my 2-year-old daughter was already up. She rarely wakes up before I do. Why did she have to wake up early today of all days! I was sure that she already went to the pee pee and when I went to get her, she had already gone in her pull-up. Grrr. I took off her pull-up and put her on the potty.

3 Day Potty Training
I noticed the website for 3 Day Potty Training and decided to check it out. After all, it took a good nine months to potty train my son, so three days sounds really good to me. Several ladies from my church have tried this with great success, but I'm neverous, because the first thing required is throwing away all your diapers and pull-ups with your child. We start tomorrow.

Re-opening Fiesta at Taco Cabana
I met my husband for lunch at Taco Cabana this week and I was surprised with all the improvements they have made. It now reminds me of a small Rosa's Cafe instead of a Taco Bell or Taco Bueno. I love how they now have a hostess that works the seating area. We went to Taco Cabana was because my husband wanted me to try the sopapillas and we forgot to order them.

Transferred Prescription WARNING
I usually get my prescriptions at Costco, but we were heading out of town and I couldn't wait for Costco to open, so I went to Walmart. Walmart charged me $4.00 for my prescription, which I was really excited about.
