week 5!

This week was highlighted by Tuesday...when I got a car!  Remember that one I really liked?  Well it's mine now! :)  It is a blue '02, Daewoo Lanos. 

As most of you know, I name all of my cars.  This one doesn't have a name yet so check back for an update on that.  Any suggestions?  My mom suggested Rita, short for margarita.  You might be asking why  my mom would suggest naming my car after a drink?...well I'm here to tell you.  It's because not only was this Tuesday amazing because of my car, it was amazing because we threw a "Taco Tuesday" night! Arrrrrrriba!

Actually, to be 100% correct, we threw a "Taco Tuesday with Tequila Then Town" night. :)  I was in heaven. I love Mexican food more than just about anything in life and seeing as it's not big here in AU it was fun to make an event out of it....especially since I had some tequila from our duty free shopping spree. :)   It was an easy event, everyone brought a plate of Mexican food or a drink and we were on our merry way.  My friend Kate went to the bottle shop and asked for the cheapest bottle of tequila and was sold oyzo....which is nothing like tequila.  She didnt realize it until too late so we had a little russian influence in our Mexican fiesta as well.  We had fajitas, tacos, chips, dessert nachos, Mexican beer, tequila, guacamole, etc... and my contribution of taco bell quesadillas. 

 Now, a little side story about these quesedillas.  Most of you know that when I have had a drink or two (okay, maybe more) I would give anything for taco bell, and from that moment on it is all I talk about.  Seeing as they don't have taco bell here my life is lacking.  I still talk about it just as much, I just never actually get it.  Boo.  Emily's boyfriend likes to harass me ALL THE TIME about taco bell.  He always jokes that there is one down the street and then for a nano-second I get excited...and then my brain catches up and I realize he is just trying to make my salivary glands go into overdrive.  I'm a little embarrassed at my obsession with it.  One night Emily was trying to get my attention amongst a bunch of people and she shouted my name 4 times but got no response.  She shouted "taco bell" and I instantly turned around.  hahahaha.  I am pathetic.  So, I found this copy cat recipe and was determined to make all the Aussies fall in love so they know the void I'm trying to fill in my life!

They turned out great!  They were such a hit.  I have converted all the Aussies to Taco Bell loving freaks now!  It was too easy as well.  Check out the recipe here to wow your friends.  


In the end there were 16 people that showed up to gorge on Mexican food and drinks.  We ate ourselves silly and then got ready for a night in town!  We took the maxi taxi straight to our new favorite, The Shed.  We had a small group on the dancefloor at first...and then it was just my friend Anne and I left.  We dominated the dance floor all night long.  It's not a busy club so it was pretty much just us for the majority of the night.  We moved on to another club, the Cri, but it was the same story.  So, the boys sat down and chatted while Anne and I (and occasionally Lindsay and Vitto) danced the night away.  I may (and am pretty confident I do) look like a fool, but I sure do have fun!  We especially loved the Cri because we found a fan box on stage that acted like "wind machine". haha.  Another fun night in town!

Having way too much fun with the "wind machine"
