Anticipation....It's making me wait

Remember the old ketchup commercial and Carly Simon's song?  That was my Saturday and Sunday.  I felt like cleaning (anticipation) but wound up cooking (it's making me wait!).  LOL  I love getting off track.  Setting my mind on one thing only to totally enjoy something else.  But how in the world do I get anything accomplished?  I have a sign that states "A clean house is a sign of a wasted life" and honestly....who wants to waste their life?  There are so many other things to do and people to see.  I wish I felt comfortable hiring someone.  I'm not exactly ready for the Hoarders television show but I could use a swift kick in the butt to get me moving on cleaning....or do I?  Am I hurting anyone?  Who says cobwebs can't be classified as natural art?  Doesn't that pile of laundry leaning over there remind me of pictures of Paris?  What is art anyway except someone's interpretation!  Ha....I think I'll write a book and relieve so many messies' mind.  I've seen plenty of self-help on organization and cleaning, but none on "Who cares?  If you don't; neither do I?"  Such freedom...so go ahead and make a mess.  It is a sign of your full life.

Back to reality:

For some unknown reason, I decided to make homemade....and I do mean from scratch... flour tortillas yesterday.  Now I remember why I don't do this too often.  It takes me forever to mix (with my hands), roll out (getting them less than paper thin), and turning out  kidney-shaped or Idaho- shaped tortillas.  But what's worse is it takes no time at all to consume them!  Not a great plan if you are trying to lose weight; ya hear me, Mona!!!!!

So for your daily picture laugh, I present my attempt at homemade tortillas.


We start with ping pong ball round shapes.  Then flatten into a round disk.


Ah, dough balls!

Then roll it out.  Not too bad. I think this was my last rolling attempt.

Not a bad looking tortillas there, wouldn't you say?


Now we're talking.  A nice amoeba looking tortilla.  Gulp.  Yum yum.

Now you see them....now they're gone!

Notice the sugar free lifesavers in the upper right?  I should be eating those and not making tortillas.  Well, now I can cross that off my bucket list.  I've made homemade flour tortillas in the 21st century.
