BEST Salsa ever!

In keeping with my theme, here is a recipe that is AWESOME. I am renaming it.....

Best Salsa ever

2 (14.5oz) cans stewed tomatoes
1/2 onion chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
1 lime, juiced
1 tsp salt
1 (4oz) can chopped green chilies
3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 to 1 jalapeno chopped

Place ingredients in a blender, STIR, blend to desired consistency.

**make sure to leave the onions in large chunks to prevent them from mincing in the blender, making the onion overpowering. Do the same for the jalapeno
***I usually only pulse it a few times so it is chunky salsa

My first BLOG

Wow, it is hard to decide what to write about first. I guess I should start with why I am doing this in the first place. A couple of weeks ago I was working on "sleep skills" with Avaleigh and I was in her room watching her sleep. While doing this I had some time to think. I thought about her and what I was doing.....then my thoughts drifted, and as it turns out I have thoughts about other things. I have been consumed with being a mom (which is great by the way) and I haven't thought much about anything else. I don't want to forget about my beliefs/thoughts, so I will write them here. Also there are several things I would like to do with myself, that is where you come in (not random people, friends and family only). I need help with these things and I also believe in the power of accountability. I figure I am more likely to do it if I tell someone.

My first task is to find time to blog. Easier said than done, but I will try.


How was that for my first post!?! LOL

First things First

Look at me.......two days in a row. So, the first thing I would like to accomplish here is to become a better writer. I feel that I am fairly intelligent and I can usually carry on an intelligent conversation, however I am lacking in my ability to write intelligently. Like now, I should probably think of another word besides intelligent. Anyway, I am not sure I have ever possessed the ability to write well, but if I did my current profession has sucked it all away. Take this excerpt for example

VS WNL, PWD, SMAEW, voiding per diaper. PIV patent, flushes easily s swelling or redness. Nippled 30cc SC24 s difficulty. NAD

I could go on, but you get my point. I don't even write complete sentences, much less complete words. Also I have found that my grammar isn't the best. I was unaware that the plural form of my last name would be Hugheses........until told by a good friend with superb grammar skills. Also I don't pay attention to things like ending sentences in prepositional phrases. However, I am aware of what a preposition is. So how would one go about improving his/her grammar skills. Then, how do you improve your writing skills?

I should improve my vocabulary.......I did buy a book of crossword puzzles. I am absolutely terrible at crossword puzzles. Any advice would be appreciated, especially from my friend with superb grammar skills!
