Journal: Feb 2nd- Snow Day!

So today I was off from school because there is some potential harm in traveling on ice.

I woke up really this morning thinking " Hmm I have been thinking a lot about cooking lately. Time for breakfast." So I whipped up some pancakes, french toast, and some homemade syrup for my mother and I to share. She taught me before how to make this chunky syrup by boiling together cherries, cranberries,  sugar, and cranberry sauce, and it came out weird looking but yet so appetizing. To top it all off I sprinkled some confectionery sugar on top.   I was very contented. This inspired me to cook now, so I'll be trying some recipes from Yes, Divas Can Cook. I love this blogger I've been looking at her recipes for a while on her blog and on YouTube and she makes me just want to...cook. I want to try her Southern pecan pie recipe...Can you say yum?

So here's my french toast & pancakes  with my chunky fruit 'syrup'. I'm quite satifsied with the results. Delicioso.

For lunch my mom made Pholouri, and if you aren't familiar with what exactly that is, it basically a Caribbean dish made from flour, yeast, split peas powder,and curry.  It is so good. She also made this kind of sauce, made from avocado like guacamole but much more flavorful to act as a dip. The best lunch I have had it a while. Don't you just love good food?

I'm really feeling Kleancolor Nailpolish!!!

They're selling this nail polish everywhere now, and at my neighborhood beauty supply store it's only a dollar.

My favorite colors right now are Wild Rose, Neon Orange, and Pink Lady. I know its wintertime, and the trend is to stick to warm colors..But what the hell, you only live once :) Kleancolor nail polish is so good though. Its cheap but it's long lasting. Ladies go buy some! 

You ever find something that you just love to do? I tell you doing nails has got to be that something for me. When I "make it" I'm definitely going to open up a nail business on the side.

By the way here is some of my work.

Journal: Feb.1st : Health

Today was a lovely day. Today in health class we learned about adding years to our lives and it was interesting to me how the health of your grandparents could be used to predict the average years you will live. I learned that I most likely will live to be 82. :) I talked to my mom about this because she has blood pressure issues, and I'm looking forward to becoming healthier with her by my side.

Today I also got this really awesome email from one of my favorite people that I would like to share.

  

Grow Up and Man Up

Do you think its cool?
to walk around like you own things
like you right up there next to God?
Please.
You think your the man?
How bout you take care of things that are importnant
Like a real man should
How bout you treat women with respect
Like a real man should
How bout you take care of your children
Like a real man should
How bout you own up to your mistakes
Like a real man Should.
Man up, and grow up
Cause you make me wanna throw up
How bout you get up off your ass and make something of yourself
Like a real man would
How bout you stop telling me what you can do for me
and just DO IT
Like a real man would
Man up, and Grow up
Before a real man shows up
