snowy day





More snow today...
therefore, today is a day I'm doing all the little things around the house
(including working on a guest post for Krissa)
that I have put off for the last week
(and have been left undone while away for the prior 3)
chores, updates, basic organizing, unpacking..
thank you Mother Nature, for forcing me to do this.


In the meantime, for your viewing pleasure,
please click here 
to read the post that my one of my new blog-sister's (Krissa)
has guested for our Desi.

Deliciously Luvy Duvy

This is a guest post by a lovely lady (you can go check her out here) that I was fortunate enough to meet through a blogging project - The Sisterhood of the Blogosphere (see button at left for more info).
post & photos from 'Americanising Desi,' captions by me.
much love to you on Valentine's Day!
xx, Carrie
--------------------------------------------------------------------


I am truly humbled that Carrie permitted me to go all crazy with my posting as a guest post on her blog. I actually love it already. The little twinkle in my eye is much sharper and as the chimes ring to call it love love love, I am beginning to step back and be in love with something in my imagination, something that is so far from my reach and yet the fuzzy warm feeling in my heart makes me wanna embrace him for eternity. Okay shush! This is not my blog and hence no quotes of boredom. I'd like to introduce myself as 'Luvy Duvy Libra' because there is no other way to this. I was born out of love and to date, after the many mishaps in relationships of all kinds, I still have so much love that it is insane!


The delicious notion of love has been interpreted for many years on the face of this planet. I loved the Shakespearean era though; there is nothing that makes me tickle like the Mid Summer Night's Dream or Romeo and Juliet. I don’t want to be those characters but love does end before anything else does in this darn materialistic world. I haven’t had any valentines to date. I am that sour of a woman and perhaps that ugly too. I see these decked up girls with really weird guys all blushing and romancing and showering presents and I envy it all. Hence I stay home and don’t spill a tear about it. So what if 27 years were in vain, I could always hope the next 27 (if I live that long) are filled with valentine every day. My aim to post here is to spill some delicious stuff that will make your heart moan and your mouth water and some might want to kill me, but please have a heart and let me pour some sweet things all over so that you may bathe with ecstasy!


I've never been able to put together,
how you simply make, me float like a feather.


Its so amazing, how our love glooms,
its like an unending, honeymoon.

 
It feels as strong tonight,
as the very day, when it first took flight.

 
It still feels just like the first kiss,
an amazing feeling; emotional bliss.

 
It still feels, like the first night together,
Only one thing Hun, its getting better.


Like the first time our eyes met,
its the same feeling that I still get.

 
We just keep getting closer baby,
Can't EVER get close enough.

 
Please believe that this is true,
all I ever want is to be able to love you.

 
Our love just keeps getting stronger,
which makes me want, to just love you longer.

 
It feels like our first touch,
We never expected, a thing as such.

 
If there's one thing that I depend on,
It is for us, to remain strong.

 
And we're still holding on,
and you my love, are still the one.

 
It still feels like our first date,
every second with you, just feels so great.

 
Its things like your bright smile, & shining eyes,
that make me the luckiest, of all the guys.

 
The one thing that I am sure of,
Is that you and I, are TRUE love.

 
And there could not be a better time,
than now; day of Valentine.


To show the world what they miss,
because they will never, match this.

 
We seem to have something out of this earth,
Lets always see it, for what its worth.

 
p.s. i read it and i couldn't help share it!


My words for you lonely and helpless souls out there is, 'there is so much love inside you, you don't have to look around to express it, just dont hold any sour memories and pamper yourself cuz you all are so worth it :)'

Bless you!

She used to wear her heart on her sleeve,
but she found it felt safer pinned to his collar.

He always thought the sunset on the coast was beautiful,
until the day he saw her smile.


she kept every word he wrote to her
as a reminder of his love


the only time she ever broke his heart,
was when he gave her chocolate.


the weather never mattered,
as long as they were together.


she took her coffee without sugar,
but it was always sweetened by his smile.


her words flowed off the pages and into his heart,
like the confetti out of the envelope she sent.


she was sure to kiss him everyday
if only to make him see that he was loved.


she lit a candle for her love every night
and every day, he burned for her.


when they met, two hearts became one.


a kiss to build a dream on.

my super fantastic awesome day

today is amazing!

I am finding oh-so much happiness with the little things today.
all of them.

And if you know me,
you know I am ALL about the little things.
well, and 3+ inch heels..
and those huge purses that confuse men because of how much (and what) you can pull out of them..
and mayyybe some nice big pretty jewels..

 but I digress.
...

I woke up this morning after a few short hours of sleep
and the first thing that I ususally do...
{thanks to the iPhone}
is to check my e-mail.
Much anticipated email responses were there.
{insert excited & happy dance here}
I love getting emails from Desi (of Life or Something like it) & Krissa (of Randomness).
We've been going back and forth a lot lately and it really is the highlight of my morning.
Thanks ladies for making my morning great!

...

I made chili in the slow cooker last night and had a very happy lunch.
Michelle's chili recipe is one for the books.
Especially topped with sour cream & chives.
And a side of sweet tea.
and the book...
that I may or may not have stayed up until 4am reading
until I actually couldn't understand the words anymore -
no, I mean it.
 I was reading and then all of a sudden,
I couldn't make sense of the letters anymore..






...

When I asked grandma if she wanted some chili for lunch...
she said no.
She wanted apple pie.
And she makes a mean pie.
No really -
if pies could laugh,
it would cackle in your face and demean your intentions to stay fit & trim.
...
And so,
{being the wonderful granddaughter that I am}
 I immediately set her to work mixing up the pie crust.
yes, even with a broken arm.
don't let her size fool you.
She's got more spunk than most 20-somethings that I know.
combined.
Take, for example,
her reaction to my camera capturing the moment below...
"get that thing. out. of. my. face."
oh, grandma Opal...





And then I discovered something that I cannot do.
at all.
roll a pie crust.
seriously.
I'm inept.

And I'm usually great in the kitchen.  I promise.
ask my friends.
ask my old boyfriends.
ask my mom.


which reminds me... Jackie -
 please, may I bake you some mini cupcakes for your birthday soiree?
 I found the sweetest (no pun intended) recipes for mini cupcakes
and they are just so darned fancy
 (just like you).
they have names like:
salted caramel chocolate cupcakes
fresh citrus cupcakes with ruby red grapefruit glaze
cappuccino cupcakes
fresh citrus cupcakes with orange buttercream
(i think you get the idea... now wipe the drool off your chin, and keep reading.)



So I guess my pie crust needs work. 
A lot of it.
so I added it to my life list.
one more thing to do.




sad, isn't it?


 
the finished product...








And after cutting into it...
I've officially renamed this from apple pie, to apple crumble...



...

Also... made schnitzel & red cabbage...



served with a side of broccoli casserole & mixed vegetables.



Oh... and did I mention, the whole time in the kitchen,
was dancing to this playlist..



I know.. it's a wide array of artist & genre...
but these fit my mood today.

Oh, and I almost forgot...
These are the wonderful books I got yesterday!



**not including the one I mailed for my swap partner today, I might add.


Was your day just as wonderful??
