Dear God . . .

Dear God,

Thank you for the food at El Tarasco Mexican Restaurant. Mexican food in Louisville! I'm not so sure how I feel about the cheese sauce on the Carne Asada Burrito, but it contained perfectly marinated and grilled steak. And the refried beans were not from a can.
The chips were tasty, but I suspect the salsa might have been Pace's Hot and Medium - 2 bowls so the diner decided which "temperature" their taste buds could handle. The meal came with a salad. I had to laugh. It was literally a bed of sliced head lettuce with two spoonfuls of salsa fresca on top. The salsa fresca was, quite honestly, delicious - cilantro, onion and tomato were an explosion of flavor in my mouth. The lettuce just interfered. But, I ate the lettuce - vegetables are good for you, even if it is mostly water. Anyway, I tried their Happy Hour $1.99 lime margarita. Well, it was mostly lime margarita mix and minimal tequila, but it was refreshing.

So, God, I think I may have found a restaurant which will satisfy a small portion of my Mexican Food Cravings. Certainly better than the chain restaurant Qdoba. Let's just say, I know we are supposed to give thanks for all things but . . . YUCK!

Now, God, we've had this conversation before, but I figure it is time to have it again. Why do I keep attracting short hispanic men? I thought the waiter was sending me a vibe, but I had hoped it was just because he was friendly :o) Then, when he asked me to write my phone number on the back of the bill, the vibe became EXTREMELY clear. God, it is nice to know he considered me attractive AND had the courage to ask me out. I am flattered. I thanked him and said no. I left him a generous tip, though.

Just so we are clear - I'd like the man who you bring into my life to be taller than me (I'm only 5'5" so this really shouldn't be that difficult), speak English (Bi-lingual is acceptable. In fact, I'd be jealous since I think knowing a 2nd language is GREAT!. But, Lord, we both know I talk fast and I talk a lot and a relationship won't work if he doesn't understand me.), and well, the rest I'll leave up to you (but I reserve the right to let you know if I need to add some specifics to this list.)

And, not to complain, but it does feel like I've been waiting a long time for "Mr. Right" to come. I recognize you are the Master Matchmaker, and we are on your time line, BUT . . . I'd REALLY appreciate it if you'd introduce us sooner rather than later.

So, just to summarize:
- Thanks for the Mexican Food today.
- Thanks for the flattery of someone asking me out.
- Please introduce me to Mr. Right (remember - taller and speaks English) soon.

Lots of Love,
Emily

P.S. Thank you for letting me make my requests known. Abba Father does know best, so I add this prayer - Not my will, Lord, but your will be done.
