Hello; Habari ;Bonjour ; Halo ; Hej ; Hallå;
I figured my last post this year(in case the inspiration bug doesn’t bite me again), would be about me taking stock.
Appropriately timed and labelled don’t you think? Seeing as it is the end of a 12 month accounting period…school is still in the system as you can see.
Let’s get on with this show then, shall we?
Making: melodies in my heart room for more shoes on the rack…and plans for a little bit of modification. 😉
Cooking: eh,,,refer to my instagram account for this…although I recently failed at baking cinnamon rolls..(next time my precious). p.s I make mean(why not nice?) oven baked spicy pork chops.
Drinking: a tall glass of wine thanks to the infamous Four Cousins that we know and love…and water. Lemon water, ginger water, strawberry mint water, garlic water(which is good for your blood and flushing out the toxins…not for your breath).
Reading: the Hobbit because I watched the battle of the five armies and I’m totally motivated to relive the story of Bilbo Baggins. can Richard Armitage get it or naah? and include the “Kenyan Fantasy Anthology” from http://willthisbeaproblem.com/2014/12/09/fantasy-and-africans/ ….see guys, I always hardly never read period.
Wasting: a lot of time thinking and rethinking decisions and such trivial matters.
Sewing: a circle skirt in print fabric…hand-stitching is the worst.
Wishing: Is this limited to one wish only? Because I have a long list of things i’m wishing for at the moment; The Note 4 (because how classy is that piece of mobile technology?), a sewing machine (hey, i think i have internal bleeding in one of my fingers because the needle went HAM on it), for more love in a world filled with so much selfishness it’s insane.
Enjoying: This new found desire to bake anything and everything…cakes, cupcakes, bread, pizza, french fries, chicken,,,if it’s bakeable then best believe i’ll bake it).
Liking: ahahah…doesn’t have to be a human being I suppose? so I’m liking my mother’s confidence in my driving skills…taken her six months to get comfortable and sit back without screaming at something that’s not even going to happen…like “Hey!! You can’t see that car.” yet the said car is nearly 50 metres away coming at me at 10kph; or better yet, “Slow Down” yet once again the said gauge is reading that i’m at 30kph.
Wondering: Is it really necessary to keep fixated on things that tie you to the past that in itself is basically non-existent? Just a passive memory that holds nothing more than bitterness and hurt?
Loving: My Millebacci no. 46 from Nakshi Nouba. It’s the truth guys. Such amazing lip colour/lipstick. Such vivid color.
Marveling: at marvel comics at someone named marvella at how time is a healer and a destroyer at the same time.
Needing: a beach house and a vacation away from any form of civilisation; but more importantly, a better savings plan.
Smelling: of warm vanilla sugar from Bath and Body Works …sigh. this is home guys. This is the scent I always return to after “trying out” all other scents and i love vanilla and icecream from I love cosmetics…that lotion is the truth. See the trend guys? *Dear anybody flying in soon, get me these? thanks. *
Following: Scorpion because what????? nerds and solving crimes and things…hello. hooked!! And it’s a series so it’s long enough.
Noticing: Mental upgrades. Apparently, I smile more. good thing? I guess my PositiveVibes mantra is working.
Knowing: That life is always full of surprises that put you off your game,,, you just have to get back on your horse and move on.
Thinking: What on earth is my next hairstyle going to be? Woman problems are made of these. 😦 😦 😦 😦
Feeling: Loved and Happy.
Bookmarking: sallysbakingaddiction.com on my browser. Never too late to discover something new to bake.
Opening: the business section of the newspaper and general internet space because international finance wants me to…it’s actually pretty interesting.
Giggling: at my dad’s jokes because he is the epitome of insane.
Eating : chicken bacon pizza because no rules during Christmas season… Eat what the heart wants, whenever the heart wants.
Cheerio my doves.
Happy Holidays.
Merry Christmas.
Enjoy the company you’re going to keep over the next few days and spread the vibes of awesome-nicity.
P.s have you listened to Sam Smith’s rendition of Have yourself a merry little Christmas?
