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.


June 16--Fitness guru or couch potato? Talk about your fitness habits.
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.

********

June 17--3 things you are proud of about your personality.
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.

*********


June 18--A recipe you love.
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.


********

June 19--Something you're proud of from the last few days.
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.



********

June 20--Photo of you as a young child. – will work on this … sorry do not have a digital one.

********

June 21--Most recent words of wisdom you heard that stuck with you.
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.

    Ahhh, now all I can think about is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting! I just had some at a birthday party yesterday, but that's all I can think of after reading this.

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. ...

When they smile... I smile

Just a gentle tug at the mouth is all it takes, To fill and make your heart break... To see their faces lit up with so much joy, And its them playing that brings smiles.. not a toy. They innocences of just lying in the grass, Makes me just want them to just stay there till the daylight lass... The cool ground beckons them to relax and stay, And there they lay just giggling and they play. What I would give to watch them like this all day, Because their smiles are precious in every way.

She called her 'Gan'

My mother when she was a little girl, was dressed in a crown of flowers, a new dress and shoes and went to throw petals at the feet of her grandmother at the Santa Rosa Festival in Trinidad. You see her grandmother was a Carib Queen and every year they celebrated this Catholic festival in Arima, Trindad. I have never experienced this and though the Carib bloodline is being passed on through me, there is not much I can say about my heritage. In jest I would tell other who ask what I am mixed with, I would say "my people were here first... we did not arrive by boat... we were natives." But I really do not know what that really means. I do not know how to live off the land. In fact I kill all plants and animals that enter my home. I should put a sign ... "Enter at your own risk!" But I do want to understand this particular part of my ancestry. Although I am mixed with Chinese, Spanish, Scottish and Protégées, I have always been curious of the one culture that was h...
