RED LETTER DAYS

I think I say this every year, I love August. It's my absolute favorite month and not just because I'm an August baby. Oh no, I'm not that narcissistic. Two of my very favorite people happen to be born on the very cusp of it! One as it starts and another as it wraps up so as you can imagine, its a very celebratory month all round.

CONSIDER THIS A BOOKMARK

HAPPY 2014! It's almost a year since I started this particular blog and what a year it was! Short of getting engaged/pregnant/Masters degree I think I experienced everything a twentysomething does!

I have big hopes for this year (don't I always?) and since most of my ventures are collaborative efforts, chances are high that my natural tendency to procrastinate won't get in the way!

This view you guys!!! This view! Its something else I tell you. I even entered this picture in the #HolidaysAtHomeUg promotion so go over to http://thepearlguide.co.ug/holidaysathome/ and vote for me! I took so many more breathtaking pics at the Source of the Nile, Jinja but the promo rules are you have to be in the pic so this is what we are working with.

A collage of the second half of my holiday (1st half back home in Entebbe was basically an eat+read+watch movie+sleep orgy): I moved into new digs, went gift shopping (read spent ages trying on outfits and taking selfies) with Terri, ate a lot - A WHOLE LOT - this is in fact going to be a post of its own, toured Jinja - this place has more hotels/Guesthouses than Entebbe!!!

Picture on right is four days before the left and I think I gained about 3 pounds in the interval! No worries though, living with my vegan bro should make shedding the pounds a piece of cake!

I'm still hangover from the best christmas break ever so I'm not really back in blogging mode hence the bookmark but figured I out to say something about the new year before that got stale. Toodles!

Smash has made me nostalgic

Yesterday I decided to stop this nonsense of working during my leave and then complaining of being drained and lethargic when I get back to office so I switched off my phone, switched on the telly and pulled my stash of accumulated series and the remote next to me. I then proceeded to spend the next 16 hours in legit couch potato mode, only shifting to refill on snacks or fluff my pillow! It was bliss! Simple unadulterated me time just the way I like it. I got through three first seasons but this particular post was inspired by Smash!

I love Marilyn Monroe, who doesn't? But the entire 15 episodes I was really rooting for anything other than Katherine McPhee's character to play her! I just couldn't stand that nice girl Cartright thing she had going on! It was sooooo irritating! Please understand I'm not complaining about the writing here. No, the writing was superb! Smash is everything Glee wishes it could be! A legit show about a fictional musical. My issue is with Katherine McPhee's face! She is just too nice-girl looking. (Also this entire paragraph was a tangent from what I'd originally set out to write about. That's how much that Iowa girl nagged me!)

Anyway, all the Marilyn talk made me nostalgic for the old hollywood era so I figured this is as good a time as any to post these love quotes I've had in a folder on my desktop for ages. Enjoy and happy week!
