Chef?

You Are a Learning Cook

You’ve got the makings of an excellent cook, and the desire to be one.
But right now, you’re just lacking the experience. You couldn’t be a top chef yet, but you could be an apprentice.

Are You A Good Cook?

Slow but from Gwynne.

Joyful, Joyful we adore Thee…

I’ve got a confession to make…I love singing karaoke. Not in public (I’m not completely out of mind hehe). I spent the part of the afternoon singing instrumental versions of the songs I really like. It’s not that I think I’m any good when I say this, but I love trying to challenge my voice and I also love feeling the feelings to make what is an ok song into an ever better song.

I learnt a while ago that everyone has two voices. There is the voice that people use when they don’t relate to the emotions behind the song. If you really know a song and attach your emotions behind a song, you sing that song a lot better and it feels like a personal journey rather than just a song.

Take a personal journey - Sing loudly at the top of your voice!

Thanks God!

God has been helping me tonight. I’m seeing things in a new light. Thank you so much God!

Sliding out of control!

We had a bit of excitement tonight… I had friends around for tea. We’d just finished tea and were sitting down discussing deep things when all of a sudden we heard a squealing noise. My mate Will wondered if it was a car crash so he got up and ran to the the door.

It turned out that someone had been going too fast on a wet night. They had turned the bend really fast, lost control of their car, slid off the bank and stopped short of hitting into a house. Glad no one was hurt! Hope they learnt a lesson!

Thirty and half ish…

The flat warming went well. I kept it small and only invited the people I really wanted. This upset a few people but I think I’m moving past the stage where I need to invite people just because I can. Amazingly, I’m not actually feeling guilty for hurting them.

I could give you a long explanation of the whys and wherefores but I don’t think it’s pertinent. Let’s just say that I’m finally dealing with myself. God has forced me to take a look at some stuff and make changes. He’s also honing me - so while I wouldn’t go through the last couple of months again, I’m thankful for what I’m growing to become.

When I was younger, I thought that you would eventually reach this point where you had it all figured out. I’m beginning to doubt that point ever happens hehe. At least life will never be boring haha!

The flat update…

The flat is now totally unpacked. Actually, it was unpacked by the 14th but I have put up a few more sepia photos in frames. I’m really into my photography and I think I’m getting better if my photos are anything to judge by.

The flat is going well. It’s a spacious one bedroom flat. I can see the sea from the bedroom and the lounge. Both get morning sun. I also have my own library and music centre. It’s nice to display all my books in one place. The library also doubles as a spare bedroom as it has a pull out couch!

It is very relaxing having the place to myself and I enjoy being all domesticated hehe. Anything else you were wanting to know hehe?

Wishful thinking…

I have moved into my new flat. Life is now finally starting to balance itself out. Admittedly, I did have to take a couple of days sick leave this week. It felt like holiday but it was desperately needed time because my body has been in so much stress over the last 5 months, that it needed to unwind. Because I let go of the constant stress over the last couple of days, I was displaying cold and flu symptoms - so it really was sick leave.

I’ve now decorated and only have one area left to unpack. That is my books and music. Shouldn’t take too long. My only bug bear is that I have lost a computer game. It’s really driving me nuts so hopefully I will find it.

As always, I have been keeping up with the blogs, still being a lurker but I’m hoping now that life has settled down, I may get back to posting and even commenting haha!

Happy birthday Daddy. I know your not around to celebrate it any more and you won’t even read this (I hope you are up in Heaven having a lot of fun), but its my way of remembering you and showing that you were here even if you aren’t any more….

I think I surprised my YP tonight by telling him something not many people know about me. I’ve kept it deep inside for a really, really long time. Selected people knew about it but I woke up on Wednesday morning just feeling like I needed to tell him and the feeling persisted throughout the day so I did.

I was really stoked tonight because Mr.K (it’s a false name!) turned up after Church and gave me a huge hug. Take note that this guy far too young for me and is like my brother. He always makes me feel better about anything. I expect because I can be myself with him. Guys my age at Church don’t want to spend time with a single girl because they are worried about what she will think. That means no hugs, no personal compliments and being careful not to say anything too personal. Mr.K has a huge heart and at 16 is still willing to share it with me.

Right time for Bed me thinks! How was your weekend?
