You’ve found a new family favorite with this Queso con Carne Casserole or Nacho Pasta. It’s has delicious cheese, spicy meat, tortilla chips, cheese, and PASTA!

This was amazing.  Like, I can’t get enough amazing and can’t wait to make it again amazing.  It had all the delicious flavors I had hoped with a little kick from the canned tomatoes.  Choose wisely.  Spicy?  Mild?  Medium?  The secret in the canned tomatoes.

We’ve been binge watching Vikings.

Have you seen this show?  It’s a bit on the strange side, sometimes.  Especially when they have the spiritual episodes.  The hubs is like, “What in the world?”  I’m like, “WOW!”

Cause, I have Viking ancestors don’t ya know?  Yup!  Mom’s sides has Swedish and Norwegian peeps on it.  That’s where I get most of my looks from, anyway.  I don’t look like my Dad’s side all that much.  I have my moments, but not often.

Mom’s genes are more prevalent in my appearance.  I’ve even been likened to Russian.  Granted the Norwegian part is from the WAY FAR NORTH part of Norway.  Like, on the border of Norway and Russia.  So, it only makes sense.

Yes.  This is a chain of thought post.  How didja know?

So, this week I’m teleworking today and part of Friday.  My continued training of the ONE person that works with me on the monthly close continues.  I hope to get her up to speed for the most part on the consolidation.  At least that’s what we call it.  We roll up three accounting registers into one report.  What would you call it?

This is all in a vain attempt to be able to take time off without having to look at a calendar and worry if it’s a close time of the month or not.  I mean, most NORMAL people don’t look at a calendar to see if it’s possible to take time off.  Like next month.  I have asked for one day.  One day and I will still take my laptop with me on my travels.

We had a meeting about my performance work plan this week.  I continue to be an exemplar employee and hope to be able to pawn off some grunt work and work on more upper echelon type items like financial analysis and reporting.  It will become essential when we receive appropriated funding.  I forgot to ask about that.  But there’s a bunch of upper level peeps that are pushing for us to have funding in the 2016 budget.  *fingers crossed*

I said this was chain of thought, right?

This all ties to Vikings.  You see, next month I’m asking for one day so that S and I can travel to Minnesota to visit with Mom and her cousins that live in Minneapolis.  It happens to be a day where we will more than likely have to report for the August month close.  You see!?  My brain does work.  I asked for more help during my PWP this week for the close process.  They agree that I should concentrate on more upper level budget items.

It all comes full circle, right?
