My back tooth (the last one on my top right side) has been killing me since yesterday. It hurts like a mofo and I can not get it to stop. It chipped a few months back and of course I didn’t get it taken care of then cause why deal with it at the time when I can wait a few months, have it get a cavity (my first and only one so far) and put me threw all kinds of hell. Yeah, I’m smart like that. So now I am popping pain relievers like they are m&ms with a total count so far of 8 Aleve and 4 Tylenol hoping to dull the pain. Of course I know that taking that many is not a good thing but when you are in pain you really don’t think about anything other then making that pain go away. I know I am heading for an overdose of some sorts but hey maybe then my tooth will stop hurting.

Ingredients:
4 flour tortillas (8 inch)
3/4 lb. ground beef
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/2 cup Salsa
1 cup drained canned kidney beans, rinsed
4 cups torn spring or mixed salad greens
1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 large tomato, chopped
2 Tbsp. Ranch Dressing

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Crumple four large sheets of foil to make four 3-inch balls; place on baking sheet. Place 1 tortilla on top of each ball; spray tortilla with cooking spray. Bake 6 to 8 min. or until tortillas are golden brown. (Tortillas will drape over balls as they bake.)

2. Meanwhile, brown meat with chili powder in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add salsa and beans; cook until heated through, stirring occasionally.

3. Place 1 tortilla shell on each of four serving plates. Fill evenly with salad greens, meat mixture, cheese and tomatoes. Top with dressing.

Ok . . . this is it . . . I need to buckle down and stop dragging my feet. I need to get serious about my photography. I have always had a love for it and have been told by more then a few people that my shots are really good. I just doubt myself. When I look at my photos I see all the flaws, get more then a little frustrated, and then just hit the delete button. Well, I need to stop doing that. I have always wanted to be a professional photographer, I just don’t have the confidence in myself to do it. I know all about F stop, shutter and aperture speeds, ISO, drugging the shutter, depth of field and all that jazz. I mean, I must take decent shots if people want me to do their wedding, right? Why o’ why can I not just have a little bit of confidence in myself?
