The Story of The Day I Failed

6.73It was Mexican Independence Day. I grew up in Mexico so this is a big deal for me. Cheap breakfast – $0.20. Usual Wednesday lunch with friends from work – a Slice of Chorizo, Onion, Jalapeño Pizza and Soda – $3.78. Mexican Candy for dessert – $0.15. So far this day = $4.13.

I really want a Mexican taco for supper. Well, actually I want two or three, but I knew I could not afford more than one based on my budget. And I want a Mexican taco, so I won’t be darkening the door of Taco Bell today (or any day, really!) So I go online to check the price of one steak taco from my favorite Mexican food chain. Yes! I can afford one taco and stay within my budget so that is where I head when I am done with activities at church.Taco

I order my one steak taco. No drink, nothing extra (they are now charging extra for lime?!) He tells me the total is $2.39! What? That is definitely more than the price listed online! Ugh! Fail. On my second day of this challenge… I failed. Since I failed, I went home and drank a can of soda too. I mean, if I already failed, I might as well do it epically. But I feel very Mexican. I had chorizo, jalapeños, Mexican candy and an authentic Mexican taco. So…. That’s a Win and a Lose? Hmmm.   :-/

Total for Mexican Independence Day: $6.73.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand.

    It seems too complex and very broad for me. I’m
    looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the
    hang of it!

    Hello! I know this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask.

    Does managing a well-established blog such as yours take a
    massive amount work? I am brand new to running a blog however I do write in my diary
    everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my own experience and thoughts online.

    Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
    Thankyou!

    Hey there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images
    aren’t loading correctly. I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.

    I’ve tried it in two different browsers and both show the same results.

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of
    your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to
    say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2
    images. Maybe you could space it out better?
