Lots of random thoughts today, so this will be a list-type post :)
**Thank you sooooooo much for all the birthday wishes, cards, calls, Ims, e-mails, etc. Birthdays are supposed to make you feel special, and I do, thanks to all of you :) 30 really doesn't feel as scary as it sounds! LOL
**I had a really nice birthday. I was taken out shopping on Sunday (tons of fun new stuff from Bath & Body) and then to dinner at Macaroni Grill. I was really craving Italian...felt a little deprived after missing dinner on Friday night with my girls at Old Spaghetti Factory. From the few pics I have seen of that night...looks like I missed out on a ton of fun :(
** Watched a new comedy DVD on Sunday night..... Mike Epps: Inappropriate Behavior. Do you know him? He is a comedian who was in all the Friday movies with Ice Cube (played Day-Day). I was really disappointed in his act. Every other word out of his mouth was the "N" word. All of his stuff was really racist too. So disrespectful!!! I love comedy, but this wasn't funny to me at all.
**I tried my first Rachel Ray recipe for dinner last night. Turkey Florentine Meatball Heroes. Pretty good! I am going to have to start using ground turkey in place of ground beef more often. It was fun to try something new....we are totaslly sick of the same old stuff all the time. Does anyone have any favorite recipes sites they'd like to share???
**Treated myself to some delicious dessert. Is this eye-candy or what?!!
**Looks like the Anna Nicole drama is getting crazier by the day.....three "Baby's Daddys" now?? I wonder how many others will step out of the woodwork??? So many conspiracy theories all over the internet about how/why she died. Apparently she was supposedly going to marry Howard K Stern on Feb 23rd. Was he the one who killed her and her son??Her house was also ransacked following her death. Who and why? The craziest story I had heard was that Anna and her son Daniel were a little "too close"...and he was the real father of her baby. He killed himself and then Anna killed herself after paternity tests were ordered because all of this was about to be discovered. Far-fetched, I know!!! Who would have thought she'd be more popular in death????
**Reading this really good book. Would love to have hours on end to read, read, read! Did you know that if you click on any of the books I have in my sidebar, you will be directed to Amazon.com and you can buy that book? I am in the Amazon associates program and I'd love to get some credit for showcasing these good books :) Help a sister out and buy some books!
**Bloglines is making me mad....for some reason, my blog was deleted and is no longer getting subscribers. Hopefully those of you who like this blog will see this post and re-subscribe to it, or you will no longer get updates when I make posts :( I have seen a slight drop in readers lately....now I know why!! Has this ever happened to anyone else?
1) I still get your feed from bloglines - no interruption or anything... weird...
2) Try turkey for tacos instead of beef - it's so good.
3) Asparagus and Chicken stir fry: Delicious!

I was wondering about Ground Turkey, thanks for the review, I'll have to try it. RR chicken strips are amazing, I know the recipe is on the Oprah site.
Chicken Tacos in the crockpot is still our favorite dish.
I use bloglines and I can "see" ya.
