Where the River Runs Dry

My way of venting out my exhaustions, confusions, excitements, and aggrevations in my world & those in and around it.

Today – There’s a plan… I think!

The Plan

Well so far I think there is a plan for today. The key word there is “I think”. I have 5 article ideas that I’m working on. My “Control Freak”, “Potty Training”, “Freelance Writing”, “Freekibble.com” & “10 Questions for your Therapist”. I also have 4 query different query letters to get out today, some research, an outline or two, and a ton of interview questions to put together today for two articles. Pretty much I’m saying its going to be a very busy day for me.

Update:

Well as all plans go, some do not. This is basically what I call a “no go planning day“. Although some of my plans did get done, like for example – I made it to the grocery store and purchased all the needed items for our little cookout tonight. Chicken legs, corn, and beer. I also made it to the bank like I’ve been thinking about doing for a while now. I also organized a few of my quotes from experts for an upcoming article which I wanted to get done over the weekend – That didn’t happen. But finally things are a bit caught up. I also have the FreeKibble.com profile article to get working on as well. The good news is – Tomorrow is a new day and I can have a new plan.

Today I was cruising around online and looking thru some old journals I had on aol. I came across one from an old friend of mine. SlowMotionLife. I have not seen her online or heard from her in years. I often wonder where she is and what she is doing. She was a great inspiration to me way back when I needed it. I never got to thank her. I hope one day she’ll stumble back online and maybe drop me a line or two to let me know she’s alright.

15 Minute Tacos – Courtesy of Montel Williams

15-Minute Turkey Tacos

Everybody thinks it takes a long time to fix a healthy meal. Try doing it with your kids, and give them a job to do, like chopping up the lettuce and tomatoes. I have three words for you: basic, fast, and easy!

Ingredients

  • 1 pounds turkey, lean ground
  • 1 packet(s) taco seasoning mix
  • 2 cup(s) cheese, cheddar, low-fat, shredded
  • 3 cup(s) lettuce, shredded
  • 2 cup(s) tomato(es), chopped
  • 4 taco shells (corn)
  • 1 cup(s) salsa

Preparation

Brown the turkey in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoning according to the packet. Build your tacos—shell, turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sauce or salsa. Yum!

More Info:

Be sure to read package labels carefully! I buy only organic taco seasoning, so there aren’t any weird chemicals or extra sodium. And I look for taco brands without partially hydrogenated oils.
