Excitement

Though Excitement is the title of this post, I have to say, I feel pretty even keel at the moment, though I have several reasons to be excited:

  • My car is now legal to drive.  All it cost was over nine hundred dollars and a lot of time.
  • I have a toilet that flushes now, a bathroom window that opens, and a bathroom light that turns on.  Tell the neighbors, ma!
  • In two days, I will see my favorite band live for the first time.
  • I just wrote a song about what I plan to make for dinner.  It took about three minutes.  I imagine it as a B-52's tune:
I'm making my burritos tonight
I'm gonna make 'em so tight
I'm making my burritos tonight
One bite will make your life alright

Take my hand! I'm going to show you
Burrito land, where the winds will blow you
through the sands, over the hills
wear your head band, the sweat will chill you

Hot burrito, hot hot love
Hot burrito fits like a glove
Hot burrito, hot hot love
Just one bite and you'll join the club!

I'm making my burritos tonight
I'm gonna make 'em oh so tight
I'm making my love-ritos tonight
Just take a bite and it'll set you right

Take my hand! I'm gonna show you
Burrito land, where the kings will know you
and the bands will blow out for you
Take my hand, take my hand!

Hot burrito, hot hot love
Hot burrito tastes like God's love
Hot burrito, hot hot spice
Take a bite and you'll be in the vice, yeah!
Take a bite and you will feel so nice, yeah!
Take a bite and you'll be seeing Christ, yeah!
Take a bite it's made with parboiled...


...riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
Hot burrito, hot hot love (x6)
Hot burrito, I think I love you.

Take a bite and you'll be seeing Christ, yeah!
Take a bite it's made with parboiled...
