Summer Blog Challenge #9 & #10

Cooking Disasters ... Help!! Oh for shame!!!


Hey it's not easy sharing the negative or disappointing side of yourself. Not everyone likes to post the things they are really bad at, but since this challenge is forcing me to admit something I am incapable of doing, then I would have to say my worst cooking disaster was when I tried to make Paelaue. It is a local rice dish that you throw a lot of things into(meat, peas, seasoning, herbs), but when I was done it was colorless and tasteless. Lets just say I threw it away and only tried it again when my house helper stood by my side and told me what to do step by step. 


This picture gives you an idea of what it looks like... quite a tasty mouthful...yum.




Famous Painting to Hang in my home... all please...


Seriously if I had to chose it would be Monet Water Lilies painting. not only because I got to see it in real life, I also tried to do my own version of it when I studied art in Secondary School. It was an image I have done a few times and I just love how the Impressionistic Art changed how people viewed the world.

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. ...

Do's and Don't for 2013

For the new year I have come up with a plan to try and make my life less complicated. I want to make the best decisions possible for me and my family. I also have to make sure and stand my ground and not let others take advantage of me. You see I am one of those people who try to help others and as time goes by I realize I am the one doing all the work and the other party doing nothing. This over time become a burden to me. Because in life I really believe people get what they deserve and they also have to earn respect and make the effort to help. If the other party is not doing anything, then I think I am going to get off this one way street... FAST!! As for making the right decisions, both financial and personal, it has to benefit both me and my family. I am no longer going to throw caution to the wind. I am going to set a budget to provide financial stability (i.e. not give money away to the hairdresser who did not do a good job... and buy toys from stores that are over priced!!...
