Playing Catch-up with the Summer Blog Challenge #16 to 21

Sorry for the bundle up but I have been pretty busy with closing up the school year. But it is better late than never ... and I do throughly enjoy sharing this information with you all. I hope you enjoy the read.


I am not a couch potato or a fitness guru… I would like to consider myself actively aware of my health and taking necessary steps to keep in shape. Recently I purchased a treadmill to exercise at home and am 90% conscious of what I put in my mouth.


Ultimately I just want to have a healthy body and a tone physique… but this is easier said than done.

I remember when I was a teenage my High School teacher told me “to stay as sweet as you are”. I do not know about the sweet part but I do know I am a very helpful person. I am always willing to help other and do not expect anything in return.

Another quality I have … or more like a gift… is common sense. You would be amazed at how many people do now know how to use their common sense to get them out of a stick situation or problem. I consider myself a quick thinker when it comes to finding an immediate solution to a problem.
The pipe is leaking… wrap it with duct tape and then call the plumber.
If my son’s school pants get a hole… staple it together for now and then sew it when he gets home.
When our vice principle fell and broke her arm … I was the only one who instructed the nurse to use a ruler to brace the injury.

As for the last quality I would like to think I am patient.

I am not a baker … I am a lover. So I love to eat sweet treats but you will rarely find me doing the baking part.
So…
I love Tiramisu
I love anything Chocolate Ganache
I love 4 layered Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing.
Basically I just love sugar.

My son got back his end of term report and I am happy with his results. There is always room for improvement… but considering what he has been through with the seizures and the medication … and considering the amount of time we put in trying to prepare him… I am proud of what he got.

The most recent words of wisdom I got was … “ghul do not let dat lady’s attitude eat you up inside”… meaning do not let people get to you.
If you take on everything and what everyone say you will be a very frustrated person.
I had said before in my 15 rules of life … “Know when to hold dem.. and know when to fold dem…” my Kenny Rogers.

My Version of Fall.

I have been seeing on other blogs beautiful pictures of the ever changing and eye stimulating Fall season. Honestly living in Trinidad limits your experiences of the changing seasons and seeing how spring turns to summer to fall and then winter. All I have is endless summer greenery. All I have is the constant warm weather and lush green rain forests. So I have been living vicariously through other blog admiring the Fall pictures and sometimes questioning if it is really true. Then I had a beautiful sunny day yesterday and got to spend the day just lying on a beach and soaking in the sun. So I decided to give you all my version of Fall. And see what we get during the Fall Season. Enjoy.  I visited a beach house in Blanchisseuse Beach and it was attached to 3 different bays. It was fun just splashing in the waves, and fun exploring each bay in the warming sun. This was a bird's eye view of the bay that had clear green water and little watery caves to hide under.

WW ... Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2

I went .... I saw .... I conquered :) Monday Evening: "Honey can you watch the kids tonight ... there is something VERY important I have to do?" "Sure Jill but what is it??" "You don't worry about that .... I will just be home around 7pm tonight!" It was FANTASTIC ... and the perfect end. Stephanie Meyer did an excellent job producing it. I will love this movie....

Guardian Angel working Overtime!!

Saturday morning this occurred while I was on my way with the kids to my family's home in San Fernando. My car is the Blue Madza and my kids were in the back seat!! I had just stopped at a traffic light with 4 cars ahead of me, waiting for the lights to turn green, when the Green car smashed into me from behind.  All I can say is that we were all frightened by a loud bang from behind, and just as I turned my head to look at my kids in the back, I saw my car skidding on the wet road heading towards the car infront of me. There was no stopping and unfortunately my car struck the car infront of me :( From that point on there was alot of screaming from the kid behind, me trying to calm them, and me trying to get my husband on the phone. Even today I still cannot believe it happened. Clearly the woman who struck me from behind did not see me stopping along with the other cars, clearly she was distracted doing something else than focusing on the road. ...
