ornament, not my usual taste

This ornament came from Yankee Candle - like the actual store in Deerfield, MA, the mecca of Christmas and all things wonderful smelling.  I love going there, especially around the holidays.

I picked out this gem during a trip there, and although I am not into glitter, it really sang to me (and my belly).  My husband and I are fans of tacos.  Huge fans.  We love tacos so much we plan to name our dog Taco (which if it is up to me will be a Cocker Spaniel, him a Chocolate Lab).  I love the way "here Taco, come Taco, good Taco"sounds.

He enjoys making shrimp or chicken or steak tacos - we never have ground beef tacos because he thinks raw ground beef looks like brains.  Mexican Mondays (aka tacos) and Taco Tuesdays are normal days of the week for us.  We prefer hard shells, beans or rice, lettuce, and very hot salsa - he also likes shredded cheese.  Tacos are a relatively healthy meal and are gluten free (corn shells do not contain wheat).

I am not sure where my hatred for glitter came from, but the stuff makes me apprehensive and I would normally not choose something covered in it.  I always worry about it getting in my eye and then cutting it.  It has yet to ever happen, but for some reason I can't shake my paranoia.  This taco makes me happy though.

  1. So, this post is eerily familiar. First, Kristen - are you the same Kristen that used to work for the VYCC? I used to work for the VYCC, too, under the initials KB...now I'm married and KP (from Buell to Parcell).

    Anyways, my husband and I LOVE tacos, and we just named our kitten Taco. And we love Yankee Candle.

    You should check our our "Taco: Two Ways" blog post:

  2. Tacos.... yah I've had few in my life. I can really identify with you here Kristen. I would say over 50% of my visits with the Dempseys have included a Taco dinner. I know how you do it. It is also really cool to know someone else has a paranoia of glitter. It really sticks with you and can get out of control.........and then yes before you know it, its in your eyes cutting! AH! Remember back in the day at festivals when girls and some guys would dump glitter onto their face? How can you enjoy a show with glitter in your eyes?
