Day 8 - Are there yet? ... Two more weeks to go...

So I reached the one week mark yesterday. Honestly I only remembered it right now. It feels like a million years ago. I don't know, I guess time has been moving painfully slow in some way. No idea if that's good or not, haha.

Did some great cooking again today. Stuffed pork chops with potato crisp thingies and a good sauce. Plus salad on the side. We made some more cocoa buns as well, but this time we made it with chocolate milk. Still didn't taste sugary but more like an ordinary bun with a browner color. I think we need to make it much sweeter. Either add some sugar or make it into some kind of pastry. They taste great, don't get me wrong. Just not what you are expecting when putting chocolate milk into the batter. Seems like the more we try baking in the kitchen, it makes me want to try better dinner cooking as well. This evenings dinner was really great. Especially because we had the salad there as well. Helped with keeping the meal a little lighter. It was delicious.

Tomorrow, my brothers and I are going out to my grandma to help her buy an iPad so she can Skype with my mom and the rest of the family because we can't visit her all the time. It's going to be really great for her. So I'm looking forward to seeing if she can understand how it works. She's not exactly a spring chicken anymore. Hahaha.

Well it's been a really great day today actually. The sun has been shining. Food has been great and now I'm just ready to have a great nights sleep as well... Ciao!

Love + Blessings

Confused

Maybe, there's a reason for all the pain. Maybe not? But what I know for sure, is that we can't take it all at once. I tried to be the good person, to give of myself, in the right way. Without hurting any one, or myself. I know I am not perfect, in any way. No one is. Really.  But, I also find it hard to imagine a world where there is less pain.

Angsty teen

I love looking at things I've written a decade ago - am I really getting that old? Then, some times you come across  a poem where you wonder what was going through you at the time. You can't really remember what brought you to that place where the poem came from. To be honest, I remember being an angsty teen and really focused on the bad things that were happening in my life, but still I can't remember who I wrote this about. I honestly always draw from my own experiences in life so this must have meant something to me. For the life of me, I wish I could remember. I published the following very short poem online in 2003: --- What can I say, to make it all better? What can I do, to make it last forever? What can I see, that you don't in me? ---- I find it funny now, that I could be so completely lost in someone to write such a poem. Yet, I think it comes with the territory of being a teenager. You obsess and worry and wonder why love hasn'

"Dancin' Away With My Heart"

So - I see a lot of people "dreading" the coming Valentine's Day... Honestly, I couldn't care less about this day. When I was in a long term relationship I'll admit that I, in the beginning, expected my partner to get me something on Valentine's Day. I soon realized that it didn't mean as much as when he just surprised me on an ordinary day with something out of the ordinary. In reality, Valentine's Day has nothing to do with love or appreciation. It's a corporately structured "holiday" where industries try to put an emphasis on one day where your partner "should" show his appreciation for you. Why would it matter on this particular day and less on other days? Ridiculous... Okay, I'll level with you guys. I believe in true love. Yeah I know what you're gonna say. Blah blah, women believe in true love and they always have. They want that knight in shining armour to come rescue them and won't give anything less than
