Lunch in upstate NY, Casa Too Mucha


For a Wednesday a.k.a. hump day, I must say it turned out to be a great day. My kids had a snow day, the office was slow, and I didn’t have to substitute teach either. Woo hoo! So we went to lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant called Casa Too Mucha. The title is very deceiving because its far from expensive.

The menu ranges from Mexican food to anything and everything else. Everything on the menu is homemade and delicious! My favorite is the chicken chimichanga. Oi!  And yes they still have their Christmas tree up but that makes the place even more special. The owners are so welcoming and the place is cozy as heck.

Since we had a little time to kill after lunch we did a little shopping at Marshall’s in Rome, NY. If once or twice a month I can go in there just to catch some deals I am more than a happy camper. Seriously, you can’t beat their prices on some of their stuff. Good quality leggings for $5.99 really??? And a sweet little tunic for $9.99. How can you go wrong??

I love finding good buys. Two recommendations if you’re ever in the upstate NY area. Casa Too Mucha for a great meal and Marshall’s for great deals on household items, clothing, etc. You can’t go wrong.

The weekend is almost here and we are suppose to be going to the movies and out to eat. I’ll be doing a movie critic review as well as dining review again this weekend! Enjoy your day everyone!

I didn’t get the job


But you know what, I’m not upset like I was the first time I interviewed for it. It just wasn’t meant to be. It’s that plain and simple.

I have to move my mom and dad up from Florida in a couple of months and there is no way I would have gotten my vacation time before then.

I was offered a temporary subbing job the last two months in my son’s school. Which will be his last two months of 6th grade! How can I pass up that once in a lifetime opportunity? I get to go to school with my son for his last two months of elementary school.

This is life and sometimes you just have to roll with it. There is nothing you can do to change it and what is meant to be will truly be.

I love my life. I have no major complaints. What more could I ask for.

 

You’re motoring


Okay so we didn’t go to Motor’s for breakfast because we were running out of time and had a lot to do but we did make it to Arthur’s for lunch! I had the chicken pesto wrap and Mike had the turkey club. So freakin delicious.

Why in the world didn’t I take any pics? Ugh. It’s probably because I’m so hungry and eat so fast then forget lol. But I did get a pic of the snow blowing up on Bartow Hill. Wow! The wind was a howling.

Any how we are taking a road trip to Glassboro NJ but we are going to pass through Philadelphia woot woot and I told him we have to stop and get some Philly cheese steak sammys somewhere. Sooo I’ll make sure I get some pics then.

Well for now I have to hit the hay. Tomorrow is my day to shadow the Community Educator who will hopefully  be hiring me for the Herkimer position.

Monday is my final interview. Da, da, da, daaaaa……..keeping fingers crossed!

 

 

Good Morning everyone


Hey everyone good morning! Well it’s the day after my 45th bday and I have to say the chemicals in my body or maybe it’s the position of the moon but I’m feeling pretty damn good.

I’m running off now to take the rugrats to school and then to Mikes. Working a little bit today in the garage but off to Motor’s Diner first (our fav breakfast place). How can anyone not recognize that the simple pleasures in life are sometimes the most rewarding?

Boys are crying because they wanted another snow day lol. Fat chance boys off to school you go!

Anyway take time for yourself today to get yourself together and regroup if you are having a not so good morning in your mind. Take care of you. Sometimes all it takes is 5 or 10 mins to sit, relax, drink your coffee or tea, and put on your favorite tunes. Do it!!!

Okay, I have to go clean the snow off my car and do some shoveling. Brrrr…. love it though and I wouldn’t trade upstate NY for anything. I gotta have my change of seasons.

Have a great day everyone!
