The glamorous life of the Realtor. It was after lunch time and I was hungry. I also had to take some pictures for a BPO. So I headed out to take my pictures so I thought I would run by the taco truck to grab a burrito! Silvas Taco Truck

I got my usual Carnitas burrito and a Pepsi, and go back to my car. Well my car is extremely dirty, I haven't washed it in a while. There is still sand in it from my last trip to Monterey and I don't want to say how long ago that was.

Prime Shine

So I head on over to the car wash. And you guessed it while going through the car I was eating my burrito. Now is that fine dining or what?

My lunch

If you are in the market for a house in Stanislaus county or you just want to know where the best taco truck is give me a call.

Sounds like the perfect meal for my sons. They would like nothing better than fast food in a car wash! Dinner and a Show!

That's why we all got into this Glamorous Life--for the food (like the "lunches" at Broker Open Houses--I'll take that burrito over those any day)!

Wendy - I didn't think about it that way. It is dinner and a show. A $6 cover charge for the show, but the vacs are free!

Jeana- Yes we will call it multitasking. And it is a darn good burrito.

Mona - I remember those days. My baby is 19 and doesnt want to go anywhere with me anymore.

Vickie - It is a very tasy burrito and huge. I won't have to eat the rest of the day.

Valerie - Do they have taco trucks in CT?

Vickie S. - So I'm not the only one that eats lunch driving through the car wash?

Chris - I'm with you on that.

There is nothing like Monterey to relax you after day after day of work. It is my favorite spot in Ca

Marcy - Its either Monterey or Yosemite. Both are beautiful and a great place to go to get away from it all. I'm making plans to go to the Ahwahnee for their awesome Sunday brunch in a couple of weeks.

I would have to say 99% of productive Realtors are guilty of eating in the car. I have pulled the car wash stunt myself.

On the go. Busy, busy!
