-_-
By Lou | February 16, 2012
The title of this entry is an accurate representation of my current facial expression and course of thought. My last blog entry was Jan 4th of this year. I don’t get why blogging gets to me sometimes. There are times when I want to do it, but I don’t. There are times I feel like [...]
About half an hour ago I put an eggless cake in the oven. I’m hoping it comes out okay (I’ll post pics before I go to bed because I’m super excited about this) but if not I’m sure I can figure out why. My Aunt, who can cook anything and make it taste like heaven, [...]
Loss
By Lou | November 19, 2011
My Grandmother passed away on November 3rd, 2011. She was 95 years old and the mother of 5 children. She was a talented chef, a genius with embroidery and crochet and a knack for sewing pretty much anything. In fact, in secondary school she made my school skirts for me and even made my shirts [...]
I often forget how much pleasure I get in the oddest places. Despite the heat and my low sugar today (I need to start eating breakfast, seriously), I got veggies for my Mom on Charlotte Street. Charlotte Street is the place in Port of Spain you can find anything for a much cheaper price than [...]
Bad Habits
By Lou | October 7, 2011
They’re so hard to break and so easy to hold on to. Perhaps it’s because there’s a payoff of some kind from indulging in them. For example – I am a notorious procrastinator. And I DO MEAN NOTORIOUS. What’s the purpose of doing it though? I do it because “getting to it later” means don’t [...]
I thought naming this entry ‘Luncheon Meat’ instead of ‘SPAM’ would be hilarious. Hopefully at least one other person in the interwebs sees the joke and is laughing scandalously, just as I am inside. For as long as I have been on the internet, SPAM has always been something you can’t get away from. Eventually [...]
I feel like such a fraud! It’s been 10 days since my last post even though I promised myself I wouldn’t let it happen. The main problem, as I described in my journal, is that my time management is terrible. I spend a lot of time doing nothing, because I’m tired/depressed/demotivated and then at the [...]
Afraid
By Lou | September 7, 2011
I’m afraid of many things. Half the times the things I’m afraid of seem to happen. One thing that scares the shit out of me is growing old. I remember how she was a few years ago – a tough lady who took bullshit from NO ONE (especially yours truly) and managed to fight cancer [...]
It’s going to be a really busy weekend for me. Here’s a little more about myself. I play percussion (mostly tympani) in an orchestra. I’ve been with them since I was in my teens. We’re having a concert this Saturday night. Tomorrow is the dress rehearsal. In fact, tomorrow I have to make to the [...]
