A Small Update and Some Halloween Recipes

Good afternoon.

I hope you’re all having a grate Wednesday, mine’s going alright accept for my energy levels seem a bit low today. It’s ok though, we’re working on figuring out why and then we can fix the issue. Personally I chalk it up to the lack of sleep as I haven’t been getting enough of that lately.

I have a small update on the SSB situation.
I spoke to my counselor this morning and she told me that I have been approved for Microsoft Xcel for one whole year. I have been informed that it costs about $70 and that more than likely I’ll have to pay for it and then SSB will reimburse me. I’m not supposed to do anything yet however because someone else needs to give the ok. Blah. I really want to start the Hadley Xcel course but here i am, waiting once again.

Anyway, enough of that. I promised you guys halloween recipes and I’m going to give you halloween recipes. I’ll post three of my favorites.

Magical Hats

1 C. tiny marshmallows
1/2 C. peanuts
1/2 C. candy corn
1/2 C. large milk chocolate pieces
20 plain, colored and/or chocolate ice cream cones
6 (2 oz.) squares chocolate- or vanilla-flavored candy coating, melted
20 (2- to 3-inch) chocolate cookies
Assorted small candies

In a medium bowl stir together marshmallows, peanuts, candy corn and chocolate pieces. Set mixture aside.

Place ice cream cones on the wax paper-lined baking sheet. Spread outside of cones with melted chocolate or vanilla coating. If desired, sprinkle small candies on the cone before the coating dries completely.* Let coating dry.

Turn cones upside down and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the marshmallow mixture.

Place the cones upside down inside a mug and brush a generous amount of melted chocolate or vanilla coating along the bottom edge of the cone. Press a cookie against the coating and let dry.

Carefully turn the cone right side up onto the wax-paper-lined baking sheet.

*If desired, leave some cones plain and decorate after filling. Decorate the outside of the plain cones with small candies, using the melted coating to stick the candies onto the cone.

Ghosts in the Graveyard

1 package (16 ounces) of chocolate sandwich cookies (I prefer Oreos).
3 1/2 cups of cold milk
2 packages (4 serving size each) of JELL-O Chocolate Flavor Instant pudding & Pie Filling
1 tub (12 ounces) of Cool Whip

Crush the cookies in a zipper style plastic bag with a rolling pin or in a food processor. Pour the cold milk into a large bowl. Add the pudding mixes.
Beat with a wire whisk for 2 minutes. Gently stir in 3 cups of the whipped topping and 1/2 of the crushed cookies. Spoon into a 13 x 9 inch dish. Sprinkle
with the remaining crushed cookies. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve. * To decorate the Graveyard: Decorate assorted cookies with decorating
icings or gels to create “tombstones”. Stand the tombstones on top of dessert with candy corn, candy pumpkins and tiny jelly beans. Drop the remaining
whipped topping by the spoonfuls onto the dessert to create ghosts. Decorate with small candies to create eyes.
Makes 15 to 18 servings

And…last but not least…

Dracula’s Punch

1 cup of purple grape juice
6 cups of cran-strawberry juice, chilled
6 cups of raspberry ginger ale, chilled
One 1 quart tub of rainbow sherbet

Have ready 2 sheets of candy bat molds with 2 bat molds on each and a large punch bowl. Secure the bat molds on a baking sheet with foil to keep them from
tipping. Carefully pour grape juice into molds, freeze. To serve. Pour the cran-starwberry juice and ginger ale into punch bowl. Spoon sherbet into bowl,
stir to mix. Place the frozen bats on top. Makes about 15 cups

I have way more recipes than this and maybe I’ll post a few more tomorrow for Halloween. I hope you all enjoy these.

I’m off for now, I’m thinking of doing a show later but we’ll see how i feel. I actually have the ability to put people on air now so this is very exciting for me as I’ve wanted to be able to do this since I’ve started broadcasting.
You all have a good rest of your day and I’ll be back again.

Until next time…

Be good to yourselves and each other. Remember, self_care is a good thing.

Love,
A Misfit Faerie

The Mini Novel?

Greetings readers.

Before I get to my entry I’d like to post a link that I have read and think I will be trying.

9 Drinks Without Sugar That’ll Satisfy Your Cravings https://t.co/EejC93d2q8

Some of those sound really good and since i’ve decided to try the no soda thing again these may help me or at least I’m hoping.

In looking back at this thing I realized that I haven’t posted since June 17, a fair few things have happened since then.

First I found out that my birth mother died on the sixth of June. Why nobody bothered to call and tell me this I’ll never know. I feel horrible about it because I never got to see her before she passed and it’s one of the things that she wanted, a visit from her only living daughter and i couldn’t even give her that. She wanted a Xmas CD of me singing which I kept telling her that I would send her, I didn’t do that either. I’m kicking myself for this, I’m regreting that I didn’t do these two things that she wanted. I know that I can’t change things and people have told me not to be so down on myself for it but I can’t help but to be. These weren’t hard requests to grant. I hope she knows that I loved her and still do. I know that she does know that I have forgiven her for my shite childhood, she really did do the best she could. She once asked me when she passed away if I’d sing Vince Neil’s Go Rest High on That Mountain, I didn’t get the chance to so I will try to cover it for her. I love and miss you mom, RIP. She was 66 when she passed away.

After that, I found out on July fourth that my grandmother died in like March. Guess what? No one in my family bothered to call and tell me that either. I was extremely angry, my brother Chris told me about it. He thought I knew which is why he didn’t say anything to me earlier. My grandmother was one of my favorite people, she was a very nice and sweet lady. She was funny at times too. I remember one day I was at her house and there was a fly in the kitchen. She picked up a fly swatter and began smacking the fly until it was dead. The more she went after it, the more it tried to escape but my grandmother prevailed. After it was dead she turns to me with the fly swatter in hand and then says,”I’m the fly terminator.” I cracked up so hard. My grandma started laughing along with me. In the past few years I didn’t get to spend much time with her, again that is something I regret. I loved my grandmother so much and I couldn’t believe it when I found out she was gone and I wasn’t able to attend her funeral due to not being informed of her death. I’m not sure that’s something I can ever forgive, if i do it will be a while before I do. RIP grandma, you are flying high with the angels now and I’ll see you when I get there. Give grandpa a big hug and kiss from me ok? i love you both.

We finally moved into our new place at the end of July. We were so unimpressed and to a point we still are.
First off, when we looked at the place it was dirty and many things were broken. We were assured that everything would be fixed and the place would be cleaned. When move-in day came around we got everything here and as the days went on we found problem after problem.

1. No lock on the patio door. We have a broomstick locking our door and while it keeps the door from being opened on the outside it still sucks.

2. Tack strip exposure between the dining room and the living room. I’ve stepped on this one like three times now and let me tell you it hurts like a bitch.

3. Tack strip exposure between the bathroom and the hallway. This one i haven’t stepped on but still they are showing and at any point the cats can step on them with their little paws and hurt them.

We do have rugs covering them but the rugs move and it bites.

4. Whole in the wall of the second bedroom where electrical outlet is. Right now we have the dresser in front of it so no danger can happen or at least I hope it can’t.

5. No screens on windows except for the living room. This sucks because I’d really like to be able to open the windows when the weather is nice but I’m unable to due to there not existing.

6. Closet door in the second bedroom is half gone. No safety hazard with this but it would be nice to close the closet door totally.

7. Water from the fan in the bathroom leaks when the people upstairs take showers. This can be a fire hazard as the fan has electricity in it and getting leaked on when you are trying to do your business in the bathroom quite sucks.

8. The water heater was rusted out on the bottom and water was going everywhere in the laundry room. This has since been fixed though.

9. The washing machine has a broken part. Thank goodness for friends who know how to rig things! Flint helped us fix it so we can still use it but it’s not a permanent fix. At any point the rig can come apart and then boom! Broken Machine once again.

10. There was a leak under the sink in the kitchen. This has since been fixed as well.

11. The heat in the living room and in the kitchen wasn’t working. This too has since been fixed.

12. The light dimmer for the dining room is broken. We can’t dim the light or make it brighter. I know this isn’t a hazard either but we should still be able to use it.

13. The carpet is all messed up in front of our front door. Basically we have to have people come to the patio door when they come to visit, otherwise we would have tripping persons on our hands.

14. Walls weren’t painted like they should have been and the carpet is horribly stained.

15. There’s a huge hole in the second bedroom’s door.

We have brought all of this up to management and thus far nothing has been fixed accept for the things I stated above that were, in fact they told us they do not have screens for the windows or doors for the second bedroom. Everytime we find an issue I just feel I’m done with this place. Too bad we’re stuck here till next August, if we weren’t I think I’d be trying to find another house.
What we are most likely going to do is start an escrow, we’ve reported these maintenance issues numerous times and so far very few things have been fixed. It’s getting more than just rediculous…it’s down right slum lordiness. I know, that’s not a word but at moment I don’t really care. Our upstairs neighbors are having trouble getting things fixed in their place as well. There’s no reason for this, not at all. I’m going to search for legal aide or something to see if this is even possible.

My job coach walked out and left me high and dry.
The dude never told anyone he was leaving, he just up and left everything. I do have a new job coach now and she’s really cool. She seems interested in getting me work. She’s definitely more involved than my last one was, we actually meet once a week to discuss things. I really like her.

SSB has gotten new people as well. My new counselor is named Anna, we’ve met a couple of times and she seems nice.
One of the times we spoke we were talking about some things i may need. I informed her that I may need a new up-to-date version of microsoft office. I told her i had 2003 and that most of the jobs I am looking at require you to know xcel and I needed a refresher course because it had been forever since i messed with it. She told me to try Hadley which I am going to do but they want you to have 2013 or higher. I informed her of this and she said she needed to speak with her supervisor. This was supposed to happen on the 23rd of October and she still hasn’t gotten back to me. I will try and give her a call tomorrow to see if there has been any progress. I really want to start these courses with Hadley and I can’t without the new office.

I think the last important thing to write about is I spent last Friday in the ER. I went in with heart issues and they ran tests and found nothing wrong. My blood work all came back good, the heart monitor showed nothing and my EKG was grate so said the doctor so I don’t know what’s going on. I had my follow-up appointment today and I have to go in on the 11th of November to get a halter monitor, I get to wear this thing for like two days and see if they can find anything. I have done this before and they found nothing then so I have high hopes they won’t this time either.

Anyway I think this thing’s long enough so I’m going to go now. I hope you are all doing well and I’ll be back again to post a few halloween recipes tomorrow. I hope you all have a grate night.

XO.

Take care of yourselves and each other. Remember, self-care is a good thing.

Tiney Update

Good evening,

This is just a little update to let everyone know who follows this thing that I’m still alive.

Tomorrow I will update longer or at least I’ll try. I’ve got za lot to write about I’m way too tired to do it tonight. Actually lately my energy levels have been low and we’re working on trying to figure out why.

Anyway, I’ll leave you till hopefully tomorrow.

XO.

Love,

No Bake Bars

Good morning readers.

Though I am up way too early and with barely enough sleep, I bring you another recipe.

When I make these I tend to make two batches, one with and one without coconut.

No Bake Bars

Ingredients:

2 cups chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 (10 1/2 ounce) package miniature white marshmallows
1/2 cup nuts
3/4 cup coconut

Directions:

Melt chocolate, peanut butter and butter in saucepan. Watch closely so mixture does not burn. Cool; add marshmallows and nuts. Press into greased pan. Sprinkle coconut over top. Put in refrigerator. Cut into squares when ready to serve.

Wah-lah! No bake bars and they taste good too. If you bring them to a gathering, don’t expect to leave with any extras because there won’t be any left.

Ok, time to go and brew some much needed coffee as there’s too much blood in my coffee stream. Coffee stat!

Until next time…take care of yourselves and each other. XO.

The Gratest Man I Ever Knew

Born in 1928 on January first was the greatest man I ever knew.
If my father were still here today he’d be 91, but sadly on November 1 2007 his time here on earth came to an end.

The death of my father was devastating to me, he was the one who always understood me, comforted me when I was in pain emotionally, a huge supporter of my singing, (though there were times I thought he supported it because I was his daughter) and he always knew how to brighten my day when I was feeling down. I was there the night he passed away, I remember sitting with him and holding his hand for a while. I believe he knew I was there, he didn’t say much that day but he didn’t need to. I did not want to go to bed that night, I wanted to sit up with him because I didn’t want him to go. I knew that I couldn’t keep him alive but I just wanted to sit there. I said goodnight to him though and went off to bed but not before telling him I’d see him in the morning. I made a CD of myself singing for him but he unfortunately never got to hear it. I was supposed to play it for him the next day.
That night I was awakened by my mother and once I was alert all she said to me was “he’s gone.” I didn’t want to believe it, I wanted to scream that she was telling me a joke…but she wasn’t. I went downstairs to where his room was and just sat next to him willing him to not be dead. I couldn’t cry, I think I may have been in shock just a bit though I’m not sure why as we knew it was going to happen. I was not ready for this and I didn’t want to accept it.
That weekend on the way home I cried a lot, my mom and I went through the tissues. I kept trying to remember all of the good times but the memories just made me cry harder.
The loss of my father was tough and I still miss him terribly today.
Sometimes I wish I could call him and tell him about what I’m up to. I want to tell him of my engagement, how happy my fox makes me. I want to tell him about completing the beginning to small business accounting course. I even want to call him to tell him about the things that make me sad so that I can hear him tell me that things are going to be ok, that things are never as bad as they seem. I can hear him in my head but it’s not the same as being able to hear him in person. I want to sing with him again. I want to color pictures of princes and princesses with him again; he would tell such grate stories when coloring pictures. He’d always remind me that the world is full of many different colors and that I didn’t have to color things the way they were supposed to be colored. One of my fondest memories of him was from when we went on vacation in Missouri. It was a rainy day and I suppose my mood was courtesy of how gloomy it was outside. I was sitting at the kitchen table with my niece’s princess coloring book in front of me, I was going to color this picture of a princess and was getting frustrated because I wanted a peach crayon but couldn’t find one. I got so upset I wasn’t going to color it, my dad was hearing my whinging and he came and sat next to me. He began to tell me how I didn’t need to color her skin peach and he used a different color for it. He then colored her hair a strange color and at first I thought it was weird but as he spoke I began to think that maybe he was right and you know what? He was. He made up this story about how I was the princess and I was with this prince who stayed out all night. It somehow turned into how my brothers were protecting me from the prince and told me that if the prince ever hurt me my brothers would take care of him. I was always my dad’s princess, even when I was a complete and utter mess.
I have written about that story before but it was worth writing again.
I miss him so much, so very very much. It’s been twelve years and though I don’t’ cry much anymore it still hurts that he isn’t’ here. I know though that one day I will see him again. Until that day I will go on and keep seeing the world in many colors, I will go on singing and I will just live the best I can.

Happy belated father’s day to my father, the gratest man I have ever known. I love you daddy.

Love your princess,
Trinity Jade Phox

The Compatibility for Leo and Libra

Greetings reders.

There are times I like to do this for fun. I’m a Leo and my fox is a Libra.
I will write again soon with a much longer entry.

Leo and Libra match

Leo & Libra Sexual & Intimacy Compatibility

When a Leo and a Libra come together, they don’t need much time to build up a healthy sex life. With Leo’s confidence, and Libra’s sexuality, they tend to inspire each other to become great lovers when together. Their sex life is usually filled with respect, and they feel free to try out new things with one another. If they found their relationship on a strong mutual attraction, they could enjoy a satisfying sex life for a very long time.

Leo doesn’t mind being seen and Libra is a sign that represents the public eye. Although this says something about their sexual preferences too, they will usually be well behaved in public. As soon as any restrictions show up, they will have to play out their passionate scenarios at any time, and in any place in which they get a chance to be alone if only for a minute. Libra is a sign of Saturn’s exaltation and it is easy for them to wait and be rational, but with passionate Leo they find it hard to stay in control.

90%

Leo & Libra Trust

It is not that often for Leo and Libra to share a relationship filled with mutual trust. The problem here arises from their understanding of the Sun, for it rules Leo and falls in Libra. To add to that, Leo is a sign of Neptune’s fall and Libra can often sense the dishonesty behind Leo’s confident act, if there is any. The problem lies in the fact that they both like to be seen, but in an entirely different way. Leo wants to show everything they’ve got and Libra wants to get approval from other people. None of them understands the other, and this can become a reason to get jealous and mistrustful. If they wish to remain in a trusting relationship, they need to find approval and a suitable audience in each other to begin with. Only then will they be able to move on and look for these things in other people without arising suspicion.

40%

Leo & Libra Communication and intellect

When it comes to the rational side of their relationship, Leo and Libra have a very nice way to support each other’s personalities and communicate. The sextile between their Suns usually makes it possible for them to respect each other, and help each other build stronger personalities, free of judgment of any kind. Their elements of Fire and Air fit perfectly and there is a passionate approach of Leo for every idea of Libra. Their communication is fast and inspiring, although sometimes hard to ground through constructive ideas if Libra doesn’t rely on its cold and rational relationship with Saturn.

The problem arises if Libra feels any sort of jealousy at their Leo partner for their sometimes unfounded confidence and that inner sense of security. The only way for Libra to learn how to feel confident as well is to accept this ability of Leo as the best part of their beautiful character. If Libra starts judging Leo, making assumptions on how their partner should behave but doesn’t, their mutual respect will fade and they will both miss the point of their relationship.

85%

Leo & Libra Emotions

These two signs represent our loving relationships and marriage, and when you look at this couple, you will see that their love for one another is real, obvious, shown and leading them in a certain direction. They will never end up in a relationship with no future, and their belief in love will move them towards marriage, children and growing old together, if only they share enough trust and love. Ruled by the Sun and by Venus, these signs represent one of the basic planetary cycles of love that is often connected to periods of eight years. If they stay together longer than that, they might as well walk down the aisle and have a bunch of kids.

99%

Leo & Libra Values

Nothing holds greater value for Leo than someone’s strong personality and their own pride and heroism. Libra, on the other hand, values justice and one’s ability to be the hero – something they often think they lack. They are finely compatible when it comes to matters of the Sun and they complement each other well in a way that helps them both learn about expressing themselves and their abilities and strengths. The problem with this couple is in their relationship toward Saturn, and while Leo represents its detriment, Libra exalts it. Although this can be a lesson to be learned, the challenge of responsibility they take on unequally can tear them apart. Leo needs to get serious and realize what their responsibility is to fit into the thing Libra values most – reliability and tact.

75%

Leo & Libra Shared Activities

There is a strange similarity in the speed of these signs. Leo is a Fire sign and as such it shouldn’t be slow as a Water sign or and Earth sign. Libra belongs to the element of Air, and it should be faster than any other element. But when you look at these two signs, you will see that Leo would like to sleep 20 hours per day, and Libra needs to think about everything twice and carefully choose activities and words they want to say. This doesn’t sound that fast, does it? If they share the same interests, they could have an endless field of possibilities for shared activities. They will mostly enjoy “red carpet” events and the fancy gatherings where they can both show one another to the world.

The biggest problem in their choice of activities lies in Libra’s indecisive nature that Leo simply doesn’t understand, and usually doesn’t have patience for. This is where they might give in to the temptation to “help” them decide, taking over the wheel and deciding instead of them. This can lead to mutual lack of respect, even though it seems like a little thing that no one would even notice. They need to give each other time, and stay as independent as possible.

60%

Summary

If you want to sum up the relationship between a Leo and a Libra, you have to understand that their bond involves the beautiful and challenging dignities of Saturn and the Sun. They have a lot to learn from each other, and the main goal of their relationship is to reach the point of shared respect and responsibility in a perfect balance of power. It will sometimes be hard for them to overcome the need for competing, trying to determine who is a better, smarter or a more capable person. Even if they don’t, their relationship will be something to enjoy and show off in public.

Taht’s all for now as I have to go and get ready to go out. Fox and I are going out to Ummy’s with our vampire brother. Have a good evening everyone.

Take care of yourselves and each other. XO.

Love from a misfit faerie,
Trinity Jade Phox

Back to Life

Good afternoon everyone.

First I’d like to wish my amazing fiancé Emmerel Farrah Phox a very happy fourteenth month anniversary. It has been fourteen months since she asked me to be her girlfriend and I don’t regret one moment of it. These past months have been some of the most happy of my life. Heres too many more to come. I love you my Emmy Phox now and forever.

Next I’d like to wish you all a very happy unofficial start to the summer. I hope that your weekend is filled with food, family, friends and lots of fun. As for me, this weekend will be pretty quiet as usual and you know what? That’s ok too. In all of the celebrations that will take place, don’t forget to take a minute to remember all of the fallen and those who are still serving this country. Without them we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Wow, I have a lot to write about but where to begin? It’s been forever it seems since i have written anything substantial in this thing I call a journal. Well technically I haven’t written anything in this journal yet except for a recipe because this one’s new. Okay okay, I’ll get on with it.

Two of my favorite TV shows ended and this makes me sad. The Big Bang theory had it’s series finale on May sixteenth and it didn’t end with a bang. I was sort of disappointed with how it all went down. You’d think they could have come up with a different way to end it than what the writers did. I won’t talk about it here in case someone hasn’t seen it yet. On May nineteenth the series finale of Game of Thrones aired on HBO. A lot of people said that it was a very crappy ending but I wouldn’t go that far. What i would say is that it seemed rushed and could have been more thought out, I must admit there were a couple of surprises. I didn’t expect who became king to be wearing the crown but it could have been worse. Again I won’t give any details if there are those who are still playing catch up with the seasons. Emmy and i still have like four to watch yet of season eight but we cheated and watched the ending anyway, hell we read enough spoilers and got enough from what others were saying to have watched it.
In the fall there are new shows coming out and I’m hoping they have some good ones. I can’t wait to see what they are and if they’re any good.

On the job front I still have nothing. I’ve been searching still but so far no luck. Last week I applied with Atwood Management for a job as they had an office position opened that i thought I could do. No word yet on how that’s going but I’m sure I’ll know something once they’ve sifted through all of the applications.
At times I feel like just giving up because it seems like I’ll never find anything but it’s not in my nature to do that, it just gets so discouraging at times when you search and search and yet nothing pans out. My job coach thought maybe I had a shot at going back to work for Land to Air but that doesn’t seem to be a go either. I wouldn’t have minded going back there, I do miss it there and I did love that job when I had it. Ah well, I can’t lose faith and I’ve got to keep hoping something will turn out in the end.

Going back to school is on hold for now. I was going to totally give up on that idea but I think for now I’ll just set that idea aside until I can figure out how to get that 2000 paid off.

Good news! Emmy and I finally got to move into our new apartment at the end of March, however the bad news is we hate it. LOL! There are problems with it that we did not notice at first as our walkthrough was pretty rushed.
1. The floors are all messed up from this past winter. All around the edges the carpet and the linoleum is sticking up pretty badly. In fact it’s cracking something awful. We are not able to utilize our space very well because of this. We have to keep things away from the walls in order for our furniture to sit flat.
2. There’s not enough space for all of our things. We need to figure out what we are going to do with our living room so that when we have company they can sit on the couch. I know that part isn’t the landlord’s fault but in moving down here we thought we were gaining more space when in reality we didn’t. We feel we were misled.
3. No matter what we do the energies are all wrong. We’ve tried smudging and burning dragon’s blood incents and using oils but nothing works.
4. There is a huge crack going down the center of one of our walls. We don’t know what that’s all about or where it came from but that can’t be structurally safe.
Our solution is to move, we are actively searching for another apartment. We did find one at River Crossing that we absolutely love. It has it’s own washer and dryer in unit with a dishwasher and it has two bedrooms. The only issue with it is that it’s up a flight of stairs and with Emmy’s knee surgery coming up in about a month to a month and a half it would be impossible for her to get up and down. We are very much hoping that they have a ground unit opening soon, when they do it is ours! Of course it would have to be before we find a different place. Right now I do have us on a waiting list for a complex called Sibley Park Apartments but the list is about a year long. Tuesday of next week we are going to look at another called Eastport apartments, I’m told they are very nice and they also have a washer and dryer in unit. For now we are stuck here and will try and make the best of things.

I have done an entry on friendship and what the word means before but I’m thinking it’s about time to revisit it. So what is friendship and what does it mean to you?
The dictionary definition tells us this…
Noun: friendship: The emotions or conduct of friends; the state of being friends.
Friendship means a lot more to me than how the dictionary defines it. Why do I bring this up you may be asking?
Well when I become friends with someone I am loyal to the person and cherish them as true friendships are so rare these days it seems. I’d do anything and everything in my power to help them if they are ever in trouble or in need. Sometimes I even make them my family, they become like a brother or a sister and that’s how they remain always unless I’m betrayed or trust is broken. Even then I never wish harm on them at all, I wish for them to have a good life and be happy. It saddens me when the bonds of friendship are severed and I lose a person but I know that at times it happens.
Recently such bond was broken and a friendship ended that I didn’t think ever would. I looked at the person like a sister and I tried to do what I could to help her. In December of 2017 I invited her into my home so that she could gain her independence and get away from her family situation which she informed me wasn’t good at the time. I was aware that she wasn’t able to do everything for herself yet I was still willing to try to help her. She filled out the paperwork while she was here to move in with me and even got approved. The day that my landlord was to have her sign the lease she decided that she was going to go back home to her family. In April 2018 I believe it was her family came and picked her up and took her back home. Now I know that most of you probably know the story of why she went back but the short of it is, she and Emmy didn’t get along. She was terrified of the fox and told her mother that she was scared that Emmy was going to seriously hurt her physically. For the record Emmy would have never done that to her or to anyone. There was an inside joke between myself and Emmy that this person and a few others took totally out of context and made it a lot worse than it was. I was hurt that she left because all I wanted to do was help her and I feel that I’ve failed, that and for a few months before this incident she had a very unhealthy obsession with Emmy. She was telling people that she and Emmy had been in a relationship but Emmy informs that this wasn’t the case at all. Emmy tells me that two days after they started speaking she was telling Emmy that she loved her and this made the fox feel extremely uncomfortable. I’m getting off topic with what friendship means to me and for that I’m sorry, I’m not here to badmouth the person in question but she has hurt me deeply. I shouldn’t be this hurt or care so much but I do. Ana Cindy has decided to block me due to the fact that she and Emmy will never get along. Ana and Emmy had gotten into it and I stayed out of it. Basically Cindy was upset that I didn’t defend her to Emmy I hate confrontation so I didn’t wish to get in the middle. Maybe I should have but the thing is Emmy wasn’t saying anything that wasn’t true. If the fox had I would have said something, I’m not going to let people talk smack about my friends. I understand that she was upset but I didn’t know what to say. Like I said had Emmy spoken badly and said untruths then I would have stepped in and I believe that Emmy knows this. I’m not going to go into details about what was said but like I said I was blocked and yes it hurts but I have accepted it.
I do love and care for my friends deeply and I always will. I will remain loyal to them and will do whatever I can to help them.
If you have friends that you consider to be like family treasure them as I treasure mine. I cherish all of you, all of my friends, please don’t ever forget that.

For those of you who have been waiting for new music from me, it is coming. With the help of Flint and Emmy I have new stuff coming out soon. Some of them are covers and some of them are originals. I can’t wait, I’m so excited about this. I’ll let you know when things shall be released.

Well I do believe I’ve written enough for now, I’m getting stiff sitting here and need to get up and move around for a few minutes. I’ll be back soon with either an update or another recipe. You all enjoy your weekend, I intend to do just that.

Take care of your selves and each other. Remember self-care is a good thing. XO.

Pudding Fruit Salad

Good evening.

I have for you a recipe but before I get to that…
I have a new blog so if you like feel free to follow away.

There shall be a much longer entry after this one, there is so much to tell you all but I haven’t written it just yet. Once it is finished I’ll definitely post. For now enjoy this yummy fruit salad.

Pudding Fruit Salad

Ingredients:

1 container (4 oz) refrigerated vanilla pudding
1/2 cup Cool Whip™ frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 can (11 oz) mandarin orange segments, drained
1 can (8 oz) pineapple tidbits in juice, drained
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

Directions:

1. In medium bowl, mix pudding and whipped topping.
2. Gently stir in grapes, marshmallows, oranges and pineapple. Add strawberries; toss gently to coat. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator up to 8 hours.

Notes:

This summer-fresh salad is a good counterpoint to a buffet of vegetable or green salads. Stock your pantry with canned fruits that complement fresh grapes and berries—canned pears or peaches in juice are great chunked up in place of mandarin oranges or pineapple tidbits.
Make this a kid-friendly dessert instead of as a salad, taking it from summer to fall by trading in chunks of apple for the berries and butterscotch pudding for the vanilla.

Alright, until next time…

Take care of yourselves and each other. XO.
