Fashion Friday

Sal has picked up on my love of boots for today's fashion collage needless to say, I approve 😀
PS. Sorry my posts have been so late the last couple of days, I’m having some technical difficulties, will try to sort it out asap

Yum yum: healthyish snack

I don't know what to call this really, apart from yum! Got idea from my friend jem who writes www.sparklingjem.blogspot.com she's constantly feeding me and I tried this at home oooh yummy.

Ingredients:
– linseed bread (jem uses pita-i didn't have pita)
– avo
– cherry tomatoes (any tomatoes work, but I had from salad)
-feta cheese
-salt and pepper to taste

How to:
Spread avo on bread, cut up tomato and crumble feta on top, stick in oven for bit to melt feta. (The feta doesn't really melt much but just need it warmed up)
-ohhh leka leka

I like me some Wizards

Confession time: I watch Disney Channel, hehe well not all the programs, some of them make me want to move to a small town where they have never even heard of television just to get away, but some like Wizards of Waverly Place are really cool. It’s about these three young wizards (Justin, Alex and Max) who have to compete because only one of them get to keep their powers when they grow up. Their dad Jerry is an ex wizard and mom Theresa just an ordinary human. They are actually just a normal family, even if they are all attractive, witty and can do magic. Here are some quotes from the show:

 
 

Alex:Now first thing first, do not tell Justin. He will just report you to the wizard council.
Max:Second thing second, don’t tell me because I will probably forget and tell Justin.
Alex:OK, Then we won’t tell you.
Max:Tell me what?
Kelbo:You’re good.
………………
Max: I got a date! I got a date! dad, I got a date!
Jerry: Max i told you, if a girl comes in and asks ifyou do take out, it doesn’t mean she wants to take you out.
………………
Alex:Oh! I know what we should do! We should let Harper move into the basement. That would be great for me..us..her!
……………..
Alex Russo: [while at wizard school, Justin is wearing a robe and
glasses] You remind me of someone... Barry something, Jerry
something, [Larry] something; oh forget it.
.........
Theresa Russo: [to Justin] Im so sorry, I forgot you!
Jerry Russo: How can a mother forget her own son?
Theresa Russo: What about you?
Jerry Russo: What? Im a dad. Before my coffee in the morning, Im
lucky if remember one of these kids.

.......

Jerry Russo: [trying to teach spells] Okay, you havent eaten for
days and youre starving and in desperate need of a sandwich. What
do you do?
Alex Russo: I go down to the sandwich shop and ask Mom to make me a
sandwich.
Jerry Russo: Yes, but Moms not there.
Justin Russo: Wheres Mom?
Jerry Russo: She left the country.
Justin Russo: Left the country! Why? Is she okay?
Jerry Russo: Shes fine!
Alex Russo: Well if shes fine I dont see why she couldnt make me a
sandwich.

Tuesdays are Shoesdays: winter wishes

Today’s shoeday post is more a want than a have. This winter I’m dying for a pair of leather riding boots, I really really am. I can’t even say why I’m suddenly wanting a pair so badly, but I do so I surfed the net to find some options, these are my favourites.

Kiss and Make-up

Not sure if I ever mentioned this, but I love doing make-up (on others mostly-cant be bothered with myself) It was my cousin’s wedding this past weekend and I had the daunting task of doing make–up for the bride and maid of honour, here is how it all turned out (included a b4 of the bride).
The bride is Che-lynn and maid of honour is my other cousin Ronethea (They are Kirsten and Taylor’s moms)
 
 

Today I pray for…

not bad for bb pic hey 🙂

I’m currently way past exhausted I literally slept like a baby because I woke up hungry, tired and cranky. Think I need a bit of a break, just some time off to do nothing and guess what…I’m getting it, in four days I’m on staycation, like vacation, but not going anywhere (as girl Rob says). A week of waking up and doing stuff or not doing stuff – it’s up to me. (I’d prob opt for not doing stuff).
Think my exhaustion and need for a break comes from the fact that my life has been a bit hectic recently and I have a nasty habit of taking on other people’s problems.
I have been spending so much time worrying and so little time doing I have decided instead of fretting about things I can’t change (some things just are, I guess) I would just pray and give it over to a higher power . . . (some of the prayers are personal others just general)

So this morning I pray:
– For my mother in law who was in a terrible car crash where she lost two of her colleagues and cracked a bunch of ribs, she is currently out of town, sedated and waiting for a flight home, pray she recovers.
– For the husband who is stressed about his mother and who is moving to a new department at work this week, I pray he catches a break (goodness knows he deserves it).
– For friends and family who I can see are not being treated with the respect and love they deserve, I pray they will stop accepting second best.
– For myself and friends (you know who you are) I pray for financial security (doesn’t even have to be alarm system and rapid response security, lock and key for now would be fine too)
– For myself, I pray that all the self doubt and fear would be eliminated and that I receive the wisdom to make the right decisions in life.
– For the drought we are currently undergoing, even though it has been raining the dams are still emptying fast, I pray we get the much needed water.
– For the elections to go smoothly, I’ve already noticed the race card coming out and the finger pointing begin, I pray people would work for a better tomorrow and let yesterday spear them on, not hold them back.
– Included in these prayers is a big thank you because I’m a firm believer that:

“I Can Do All Things Through Christ Who Strengthens Me”.
Philippians 4:13.
