<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I absolutely love making a one pot meal, they are simple, save on time and are delicious. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">During the week, on the public holiday, I wanted to spend the day relaxing on my couch, but I also wanted to have a meal that was different, tasty and simple. I decided to prepare this meal for the Mr, my little bro and myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This meal is also perfect for a rainy Sunday like today. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here goes</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Firstly, I washed the chicken parts and brined over night. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For the b</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">rine I combined:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> ~ 10 cups of water <br /> ~ 1 cup apple cider vinegar <br /> ~ 3/4 cup coarse sea salt <br /> ~ 2 tbsp fresh cracked black pepper</span><br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I preheated my oven to 350 degrees F</span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I removed the chicken from the brine, patted it dry and rubbed it with a mixture of:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> ~ 2 tbs fresh ginger (minced) <br /> ~ 4 cloves garlic (minced) <br /> ~ 1 tbsp red pepper flakes</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdb8pQtntfHDwu0Lea2wzkwqmOVkY55vjDfVQlxJe77HPUSR_uyUTLWuMjXgnETk2HirL7YmcWXZSRng3wGZkpQ0YUf6n6ux_BAZkG9RiNhAST1dIuYraOzKLB22UuIWMGbjc-0mYckgjq/s1600/007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdb8pQtntfHDwu0Lea2wzkwqmOVkY55vjDfVQlxJe77HPUSR_uyUTLWuMjXgnETk2HirL7YmcWXZSRng3wGZkpQ0YUf6n6ux_BAZkG9RiNhAST1dIuYraOzKLB22UuIWMGbjc-0mYckgjq/s400/007.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For the veggie portion of the dish, I used:</span><br />
~ <span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">4 large Idaho potatoes </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> ~ 2 medium carrots <br /> ~ 2 medium green bell pepper <br /> ~ 1 10oz. can Shiitake mushrooms (only because I didn't have fresh)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I chopped all the veggies into 1 inch pieces and placed them in a Ziploc bag. I then added the following ingredients to the veggies, sealed the bag and gave a good mix (shake), to ensure all the pieces were coated.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> ~ 1 tbsp olive oil </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> ~ </span>1<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> tsp coriander </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> ~ </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">1 tsp garlic salt </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> ~ 1 tsp cayenne pepper <br /> ~ 1 tsp coarse black pepper <br /> ~ 1 tsp onion salt <br /> ~ 1 tsp ground ginger <br /> ~ 1 tsp fresh thyme <br /> ~ 1 tsp red pepper flakes </span><br />
<br />

After the 45 mins had passed I removed the chicken and checked to see if it was cooked all the way through.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was having a conversation with a girl friend yesterday, about a common saying about love. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The saying goes, <i>"be with the person who loves you, not the person you love"</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I absolutely hate this saying...I hate it!!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Maybe I don't fully understand what the saying is about (I hope so), because what this says to me, is be with someone who loves you and hope that you eventually love them back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I think it's selfish, so you are to deny the person who is in love with you LOVE, your LOVE, the LOVE of another? In a relationship there is nothing that hurts more than when you love someone who doesn't love you back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So here is my saying, "be with the person you love, who loves you back"</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One of the things I look forward to in this life is becoming a mother, to bring a life into this world. To be responsible for someone's upbringing, their safety, their health, the way they grow up in this world. To bestow on them the same type of love my mother bestowed onto my siblings and myself. There is nothing greater than the love a mother and child shares.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I remember that days so well. I had gotten up early because for some reason I had a lot of errands to run (which seems strange now, because I would never want to have a hassle of a day on my B'day). Anyhow, I had a lot to do, which included going to the hair dresser and getting home in time to prepare the meal. </span></span></div>

<li style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Start by making the meat sauce. In a large pot, fry the minced beef until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.</span></li>
<li style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In the same pot, fry the onions, carrots, celery and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add the bay leaves. Add the minced beef back into the pot and add the tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock, herbs, flour and sugar. Allow to come to simmering point and turn the heat down.</span></li>
<li style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Place the lid on the pot to simmer gently and allow thickening for 30 minutes.</span></li>
<li style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pre-heat the oven to 180°c and grease an oven proof dish (make sure it’s big enough).</span></li>
<li style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To make the bechamel, gently melt the butter in a saucepan ensuring it doesn’t change colour. Stir in the flour until a glossy paste is formed.</span></li>
<li style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Slowly pour in the warm milk. Only pour in a few tablespoons at a time and make sure that it’s well incorporated before adding again. When half of the milk has been incorporated, switch to a balloon whisk and add larger amount of the milk whilst whisking. The sauce should be thick and smooth.</span></li>
<li style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the spices and cheese. Season to taste. At this point, also check the seasoning of the meat sauce and adjust.</span></li>
<li style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To assemble the Pastitsio, combine the cooked pasta with just over half of the Béchamel sauce.</span></li>
<li style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pour all of the meat sauce into a prepared oven dish and smooth out. Follow with the pasta and finally the remaining of the Béchamel sauce.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">10. Place the assembled Pastitsio into the pre-heated oven and allow baking for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This would be my first rant post. <b><i>Why am I ranting you may ask</i></b>? Simply because it threatens the fun packed weekend I have planned.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>It all started on a dark and rainy night</i>....lol....I kid, I kid (is it weird that horror stories always start that way). It was actually midday on a cloudy, cool Friday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyhow, me being in </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">preparation mode for the highly anticipated weekend, and wanting to look my best (after all, it's '<b>my big three O</b>'). I decide to pay a visit to the beauty spa, t</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">his is a place I frequent almost every month to get a facial and some minor waxing done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">STOP!!!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hold on, wait a minute. Let me start by saying upfront, the service I recieved here has always been good, and on that day, the actual facial was the <b>BEST</b> I have ever had at this spa. The young lady was very pleasant, gentle and she took her time with me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Ok...back to the RANT</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So there I am lying on the bed with my eyes closed. The beautician comes in ever so </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">quietly</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> that I didn't even realize she was in the room till she started coughing. We exchanged some pleasantries (how are you, which type of facial, when was the last facial etc), then the facial started (she has the most gentle hands). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cough, cough, cough....cough, cough, cough. Me, "are you alright?" to which she replied "yes". Me: *raised eyebrow* Ok, she said she's OK, probably she just has that annoying, non-contagious, non-infectious, nothing to worry about cough, that cough everyone was left with after the flu has left them. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">However, as the facial progressed, the cough persisted. That coughing spell lasted the entire appointment, the <b>ENTIRE</b> appointment!!! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So the appointment is over now, I thank her, told her she did such a wonderful job. I get up, and looked at the her and realizes she looks ill, so I ask her again, " are you sure you're </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">OK</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">? do you have the flu?" to which she then replies "yes". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>YES??? WHAT!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!! Y'ALL HAVE TO BE JOKING!!!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you are providing a service, especially one that involves personal hygiene, and your employee has the flu (the very contagious flu). Send them to <b>F</b> home until they feel better. So as to not risk paying customers such as myself being infected with</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> the flu. And in my case being infected with the flu days before '<b>my big three O</b>'. What the hell are you trying to do? Ruin my celebration?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am very disappointed with the spa, <b>VERY</b> disappointed. It's Sunday, I'm on work, tired, weak, feverish, congested, I have a headache, my nose and eyes are runny, my throat is sore; and i'm guzzling down Nyquil, Panadol and Chloraseptic lozenges hoping to get over the flu before the weekend. This is not how I envisioned my week. I'm supposed to be bursting with energy and excitement. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I now wish I had noticed she was ill before the start of the appointment. I would have requested someone else do the facial.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>But what does it mean?</b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">After about an hour of searching the internet, it still isn't clear to me what exactly is taking place. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">All I have gathered so far is that it is called a halo, and a lot of people believe it means there would be a change in the weather. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On other sites it was said be </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">rings caused by cirrus clouds and moisture high up where the temperatures are well below freezing. The moisture turns into ice crystals, which reflects the sun light, creating a halo or ring.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For the last two months, I have been totally obsessed with cakes. I've been looking for the perfect cake for my B'Day. The perfect cake to reflect my transition in to womanhood, my new found maturity, my f</span><em style="background-color: white; font-style: normal; line-height: 16px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">emininity</span></em><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In previous year I' have always organized my own B'Day cake, simply because I know what I like and what would make me happy on <b>MY</b> special day. I'm not really a cake person, but at the same time, my B'Day cake must look and taste good, I must be happy and excited about it. There this one place here in Trinidad that I always get cakes from, whether it be for me or someone else. The </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/kisstreats" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Kiss Baking Company</b></span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> has some of the best cakes ever <span style="font-size: x-small;">(in my opinion)</span>. The texture is soooo soft and moist <span style="font-size: x-small;">(one of the best cakes in my book)</span>. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Over the years I've gone through some many cake phases that every B'Day was just something completely different. I've had the plain and marble cakes covered in fondant and royal icing, a cheesecake sampler and a double chocolate fudge. I've even had a frozen chocolate cake <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I didn't think I would like it but it was surprisingly good)</span>. Last year, because I felt playful, I had a plain cake covered in blue fondant with two little yellow ducks at the top. It was extremely cute and I was extremely happy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This year I've decided to have two cakes.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Almost 30 years ago, some time around now, my parent were excited as well. They were excited about the birth of their first born. Will it be a boy or girl, will he/she be healthy, or happy. Who would
he/she look like, how would
he/she do in school? when he/she is an adult what would
he/she be? Will he/she be successful in life?</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">Sometime over the last two days, while I was at work, my washing machine died. I knew this was about to happen and have been begging him for a new one weeks now, but for some reason men like to wait till it isn't working any more.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px; text-align: justify;">
So today I decided to try a laundromat. I've never been to one before, so this was definitely going to be a first time experience for me.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">I packed all my dirty clothing, jumped in my car and made the 20 min drive to the laundromat. I got there, and apart from the </span></span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">owner (who was very busy looking after laundry others left to wash), there was one other person and myself there. I was thrilled about that, it </span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">meant</span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"> I could use as many machines I need to cut down on the time I would be there.</span></div>

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">As soon as I walked in, the other customer greeted me, she is </span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">one of the nicest persons I've ever met.

<span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">After she helped me set up my wash, we sat and talked. She told me she had just started coming there and that I was lucky that there weren't any other customers, because </span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">normally there are a lot of people there. </span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">She was so friendly and helpful. We shared some more small talk, a few laughs, and some chocolate covered rice snacks. </span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: 'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">She then informed me she had to go home to prepare lunch, so we wished each other safe and pleasant weekend, and she left.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Thank You!!!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These are two very simple words, but they mean a lot. Growing up, saying thank you, please, may I, good morning, good evening, etc... Were some of the words our parents taught us. These were to groom us to become respectful, well mannered adults.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But for some reason as we grow old we forget how important these simple words are.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Gratitude demonstrates an appreciation for the kindness, benefits you have received, all the simple pleasures you were afforded in your life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We tend to take for granted many things in our lives, our co-worker, our friends and mostly our families. The people that help make our days go by easier, persons who offer a shoulder to lean on and kind words.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This year I've made it a goal to be more grateful.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>~ Thank You</b> Mom & Dad for all the values you instilled in me and the support you give to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>~ Thank You</b> to my sibling who have given me fun times, straight talk and a whole lot of annoyance (love you guys).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">~ Thank You</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> to my 'Mr.' for the experiences he have given to me, the good times and the bad.</span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>~ Thank You</b> to all my friends who have been there in my times of need and and times of joy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>~ Thank you</b> to my co-workers, taxi drivers, canteen staff and all the other people who I interact with on a daily basis, you guys make my day go by easier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">~ Thank You</b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Lord for LIFE!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Over the last two weeks, I've discovered the art of digital scrap-booking. OMG...I'm in love, I have been staying up late at night downloading digital scrap-booking kits and figuring out how to use them.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">The last two week has been full of mini project using digital scrap-booking kits.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>~</b> The first was the the pyramid boxes made from a <a href="http://veilan.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/ystavanpaiva-digitaalinen-skrappayssetti/" target="_blank">Valentine's kit</a> from <a href="http://veilan.wordpress.com/anski/" target="_blank">Anski</a>. I previously posted about it <a href="http://trinicountrygirl.blogspot.com/2012/02/diy-tutorial-pink-heart-pyramid-box.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />

<b>~</b> The second were origami flowers I made with printed paper from <a href="http://shabbyprincess.com/default.asp" target="_blank">Shabby Princess</a> Plentiful Collection.<br />

<br />
<b>~</b> The third and forth projects are the attempts at digital scrap-booking. I built these in Windows Paint, using two collection from the Shabby Princess (<a href="http://shabbyprincess.com/downloads/plentiful/plentiful.asp" target="_blank">Plentiful</a> and <a href="http://shabbyprincess.com/Festival_.asp" target="_blank">Festival Paper</a> Collections)<br />

I then passed another piece of ribbon through the punched holes to close in the box. I added a "for you" tag and made a bow.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Two days at the beach in a week....wow!!! I did good. This coming from a person who lived 20+ years of her life across the street from the beach, seems unthinkable. But since I moved out on my own I hardly ever get to the beach. Now, for me, two days within a week is a record. I went to the beach Last Thursday and again on Tuesday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last Thursday I needed to get away , relax and clear my head. For me there is no other place than the beach to do this. The crashing of the waves, the freshness of the air always puts me in a zone fit for relaxation. And on a week day, when there is almost no one at the beach if my favourite time to be there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I packed a bag, got out my swim wear, jumped in the car, picked up my good friend Desta, and headed for the beach. We ended up at Vessigny Beach, which is on the Southwestern side of Trinidad. It was the first time I've ever been to that beach. Sadly I didn't get to take a dip in the water as it was too shallow...yes too shallow, I prefer the water above waist height. However we did get to explore the beach, relax and catch up...and that was well worth the drive.</span></div>
