The Great Authenticity Experiment
So I talked it over with Ross & Nora and we just need to set up a time now. But I've been intrigued as I've been stuck on traffic on 5400 South as to the number of places there that label themselves as "Authentic Mexican Restaurant". Now, see, while I've visited Mexico on a handful of occasions I would not consider myself worthy to judge these establishments on anything other than price, taste to me, freshness etc. However, Nora IS an Authentic Mexican...sooooo.... Just because I'm bored we're going to set up a time and go to as many as possible of the establishments and ask them for one of their specialty item,whatever they consider to be their most authentic item. Then bring them all home and have a taste test & authenticity test. Mostly it sounds like a fun way to test out a whole lot of restaurants quickly and not as expensively. I'll post the results after we do it.
In other news, today the boys & I are going to the zoo with my friend Michelle. Also cheekie convinced me yesterday to dig out my Halloween decorations so I have those up which is fun! Connor has no school today and is not happy about it but I'm hoping the zoo will help. We'll see.
Also, my earlier ranting regarding Dinosaur Train was wrong, it's actually not a 1/2 bad show. It's a tad bit annoying but it IS informative. And in the break between the two 15 min halves of the show they have a real paleontologist on there explaining facts about dinosaurs. So yeah. I should have trusted PBS they are usually right on. (I just have trust issues with them since they DO show Barney...shudder).
I went to the ENT yesterday. Last year I was working on my sleep apnea issues and then the ENT I was working with retired, then Ian started having seizures and my issues kinda got pushed back. Well I went back yesterday to the doctor who has taken over for him (and btw looks to be about 12) and he was horrified that I hadn't taken care of it yet. Apparently, my sleep study results were extraordinarily bad. Um..whoops! So on Oct 15 I'll be going in to be fitted with my CPAP and do an overnight to figure out the titration and stuff on it. Hopefully that will mean I'll sleep better! :) So things are looking up! :)
