Apple Fluff

I've taken the day to create the things I repin and like on pinterest. I already made chipotle cheese potatoe cuts. And I also was midway into making crockpot apple sauce when I got bored. I'm combining the knowledge and food interest I have of marshmallows, like topping yams off with little marshmallows and baking them (makes a sweet dish at thanksgiving). So I took the apple sauce put it in a ceramic dish, sprinkled a layer of oats and brown sugar, and cut up large marshmallows and placed them on top. And threw it in the oven.

Hopefully it turns out great!

Shingles on the Roof

No not the roofs shingles, the type of shingles that are in your body. It's already there, in everyone, but it's inactivated. When you get chicken pox the virus doesn't float away, its in your body but just not activated. I did not even know what shingles was until I broke out. It was itchy and lucky for me in an isolated spot on my forearm. I went to the medicenter and the doctor I saw said because it was not all over my body it was probably shingles. Then prescribed me a lot of antibiotics, HUGE tablets to take 2 three times a day. Thankfully it started to die down and healed. But along the way I took a series of pictures.

One solution to not getting this is to CHILL OUT. Stress and a weakened immune system activates Shingles and will do this to your body.

Day 1: Right now, they were swelling and were tender and itchy. So it sucked.

Day 2: That night I wrapped my arm and put cortisone cream on it. A few of the pores popped.GROSS



Day 3:  I continued to wear the wrap around my arm, and put cortisone cream on it. Took showers everyday to keep it clean. And kept taking my medicine.





Day 4: Here you can see that some are almost ready to pop. It's quite sick actually. Some have already popped.

Day 5: Here a lot of them have popped and are open. I kept at the cortisone cream and medication.

Day 6: Now they are healing. Quite dry and flaky.

Day 7: Still dry and flaky, I picked a little :S Do not recommend it.

Days in, Days out

Days in: Mother is home. Terra is home. She sits in her room all day. But when we are blessed with her presence, we are ordered around like slaves. Terra is the Queen, that reaps all the support the slaves get from their father, the King back home. The King that the children were forced to leave to have a better education, promised a life that they wanted. Every full moon gifts are sent to the slaves for support in their new life, but the gifts never get past the Queen. She takes the gifts, sells them, and spreads them through her wants. No one is happy when the Queen is home.

Days out: The Queen is rarely in the castle. She wanders out into the peasant streets to seek out all the poor mens attention. First she dresses in the shortest frock to show off her thundering legs, while wearing a large fur coat. The Queen never realizes it but dressing like this only attracts the rapists and theives of the village. One day before the summer break, the Queen was courted by a mine worker. Being the desperate women she is, took a liking to the attention of the miner. Often leaving the castle to spend days and nights at his fathers humble abode. The miner bunks with his father. The slaves see the Queen less and less. Wondering who is to take care of them; the upside is that there are no more countless orders. A little scared and worried about the Queen the slaves try to get in touch with her. Begging her to return to the castle but she doesn't want to be around them. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months of seeing less and less of her. Around four months after this behaviour starts the slaves accept that life without her is much better. The Queen still orders the pantries to be full, but now the slaves cook and clean and live on their own. In their own castle. The head slave takes on the role of authority, the slaves don't have to follow the head slaves orders because it is not a queen but following it's orders keeps the castle from chaos. Slaves and queens from other kingdoms do not see the obscure situation the castle of Oxford is in. The slaves used to make excuses for the Queen when she was inquired from other castles. The slaves were embarrassed of her. But after using every excuse in the scroll, they started to tell others the truth. They didn't know where their queen was. No one reacted positively to the truth of the Queen, they almost empithized with the slaves. Knowing it must be hard for the slaves because they were not ready to take care of themselves, and a whole castle.

Before these days: In the castle of Oxford lived the Queen Terra and Dick-tator Herry. The Queen had had a functioning kingdom with three beautiful daughters, and a loving King. But the Queen always need more than what she had. Seeking out what she already had. One day while going to a ball she met Dick-tator Herry, his warm and charming ways convinced the Queen this is what she was missing. Without a blink the Queen ran off with the Dick-tator, leaving the King to wonder what had gone wrong. And not only did she leave the King, but took the three daughters with her to live a soon to be awful life. When they all arrived at the Dick-tators fortress, they met his two daughter and son. Not one of the children had a say in what was going on between their parents. The Queens daughters begged her to stop. But she was blinded by what she thought was the missing piece to herself. Soon after the marriage the Dick-tator changed, he became mean and abusive to the Queen. In effect the Queen became hard and cruel herself. All the helpless children were forced into slavery, treated like dogs, and abused mentally and physically. No one could escape. Until one day... the Dick-tator left the Queen for a younger skinnier princess. Searching for a better women. He left her with all of his children/slaves, and took all his money.

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY

Weekend Wrap-Up. WWU.

Friday: Matthew suggested we watch a scary movie, which I had no problem with. He suggested 'The Hills Have Eyes". It turned out to be weird and disgusting rather than scary. Like the mutants raping the girl... that was weird. So we shut it off 1/4 into the movie and watched "A Walk to Remember". SUPS cute.

Saturday: Picked carpet for the stairs, vinyl tile stuff for the kitchen/dining area/bathroom/laundry room, and picked my mama a new douvet cover (800 thread count) and sheets (650 thread count). I've heard they feel amazing. Then went to Matthews to visit with his family BUT they were at a BBQ, so we played settlers of catan. And watched the worst movie, Highlander, though it was funny in some parts.

Sunday: Church. Bought a piece of furniture. Bought my mama a bed frame. Assembled the bed frame. Went to Matthews for the evening. ALMOST won settlers of catan. Watched a football movie... I'm failing to remember the name... oh. Remember the Titans. SUPS good. Raced to Chantals and talked and ate food with the girls. Wrote 365 memories for Kwi. Drove home went to bed at 2am. Woke up at 7am for work... I guess that would be Monday not Sunday.

Monday: Drove home went to bed at 2am. Woke up at 7am for work. Dropped my car off at the mechanics. Took my mama to work. Sped to work. Got there on time. Win. I guess Monday isn't considered the weekend.

B&W

Im planning my non-existent wedding. No big deal.


Go check out my Style Board where I have most of the stuff I want for this non-existent wedding :)

WHAT IS UP! Looks good eh? Just imagine everything in Black & White. So that cute lil pink cake would actually have black ribbon and white carnations instead of the pinkiness. And the photo frames would just be white and maybe black ribbon... Not too sure, I did'nt think about that. And the ceremony backdrop in the top left corner would just be giant fake white flowers not yellow... :) Im proud of it.

Settlers of Catan

The secret to winning or coming very close to winning Settlers of Catan is....

I have already written a large guide to the game and the tips/strategies I used and almost won with. BUT I think I am going to hold on to that information until I win a game or two because I wouldn't want Matthew knowing my strategies and then using them against me. So maybe, if I go over today and win, I'll release this precious information. Maybe. Maybe not.
