Movies like Mary Poppins, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, and Annie.
As I was walking away after putting my 4 year old in time out, she began singing, “It’s a hard knock life for me.”
It went something like this. “It’s a hard knock life for me. It’s a hard knock LIFE for me. It’s a hard knock LIFE FOR ME. It’s a hard KNOCK LIFE FOR ME.”
Only 14 more years for her to live that hard life with us.
This weekend I am taking my family to go see The Wizard of Oz – IMAX 3D!
I know..I’m so excited.
You know who else is so so so so so excited about going to see The Wizard of Oz?
My husband.
Well, maybe not.
I was hoping that by writing it it might come true but no.
Regardless, I’m so excited to show the movie to my kids.
We rarely go to a full priced movie but I think this is worth it – one of the all time best movies, at least in my opinion.
The movie is only playing in our city for one week so if you are interested you might want to check your theater.
I fully expect to come back singing the lollipop guild, somewhere over the rainbow, if I only had a heart, and ding dong the witch is dead, for probably the whole weekend.
If all goes as planned, the kids will be singing too.
My husband? I’m guessing his inner Judy Garland will shine through too 🙂
This woman is brilliant. My friend Jess sent me this video a couple of years ago and I just discovered it again. It makes me smile, chuckle, and nod my head in agreement. I’m pretty sure I’ve said most of what’s in this song. Enjoy!
I love going out with girl friends to eat, chat, and laugh. Since I don’t work anymore (I know, I know, I work in the home…yadda yadda), I miss adult conversations and time with friends. So the other night a group of us ate at Gloria’s in Frisco. We laughed so much and got caught up with each other lives. The food was great. I had the Carne de Res Asada Salvatex (grilled steak with an enchilada, black beans, and rice). The salsa was amazing.
But……it’s no Panchos!
I can hear the groans now from everyone but I am standing firm on this one.
I grew up in New Orleans and one of the places my parents took us all the time was Pancho’s. I practically grew up on their cheese enchiladas, tamales, and tacos. And to top it all off…the sopapillas. At the end of the meal, right before you pay your bill of $15 for a family of 28, you get sopapillas. It’s heaven in a basket. Drizzle a little honey on those puppies and you’re good to go.
You can’t talk Pancho’s without mentioning the pinatas. They were everywhere in the restaurant. Every month our Pancho’s would give away a huge pinata correlating to the month. One year my sister won Novembers’ 4 ft. turkey pinata. For some reason, it hung in our laundry room for well over a year. It gave quite a fright when you walked into the room with the lights off.
And don’t forget about the video game – Pole Position – near the restaurant door. I can still hear the starting beeps of the game. We were like a pack of wolves around my dad – hungry for quarters.
Our family loves it so much I guarantee Pancho’s will be an eating destination once everyone flies in for Christmas.
So remember if you’re ever in the mood for amazing Mexican food and a true Mexican atmosphere, go to Gloria’s but remember…it’s no Pancho’s!
