Lazy Day

Today wasn't exactly what I would call exciting, but it was nice.
I suppose it's rather easy to take family meals for granted and all that is discussed within them as well.
The day started off with breakfast, as it should.

 My favorite kind of breakfast: bean and cheese tacos. Mmmm! The aftermath of the kitchen. :)

And of course the best part is always the toppings, but I have to admit my favorite topping for breakfast tacos is that roasted salsa. Can't get enough. :)

After breakfast I just lazed around, I was able to finish a book I borrowed from a very good friend and then watched reruns of Charmed with my mom and little sister. I can't explain how much I love spending time with the two of them. I will admit that now that Alice is becoming a teenager, there has been much more stress and tension in the house, with Mom always saving the day as the mediator. That job must seriously get difficult sometimes. I hate being referee, I can't imagine that she likes it any better than me. Although I will admit that my relationship with my sister has improved dramatically since the last time that I came home (of course then I had brought my then boyfriend home to meet my friends and family for the first and only time, so I can't say that I spent too much time with her).
Speaking of exes, I talked to mine today. I had a little bit of a riff with him the other night, and made an attempt at an apology. It went ok, but things still aren't what they were...something that I'm afraid I will only have to get used to as time goes on.
He's the big reason that I'm doing this thing...getting off of Facebook and into introspection. He didn't recommend that, this prescription was of my own doing, but he did make me think that if I didn't think for myself and appreciate the little things that I will be alone and miserable for a very long time. I know enough individuals who are plagued by miserableness...I don't want to be anything like that. So here we are.
I had a bit of a laugh with my mom right before dinner, we were going on and not finishing sentences (although each knew what the other was saying). The conversation went a little bit like this: "Do you want...?" "I'll just get a...," "I'll set the...," etc. At the end of all of this I said "I love how we finish our...," and she said "sentences." like it was nothing. We both got a nice kick out of it.
Dinner was easy, I like it that way. Finished off with a nice cup of Bluebell Ice Cream and an hour of Masterpiece Mystery.
It was a good day, all in all. I don't regret it. Which is what is most important, after all.
