Thoughts far away from home

100th post celebration?
Well this isn't my 100th post but that doesn't mean we have to stop the celebration!
(Just enjoy the enthusiasm)

(As I wrote this I thought this was my 100th post.. but the numbers didn't add up, so we're still going to celebrate and for the 100th post it will be something so exuberating you will really want to jump like the men in the picture.. Or a smile would do..)

I can't believe I made it this far! Sure my follower number is low.. but it's not about the followers to me. It used to be but my friend told me some wise advice; she said do things from the heart.. and some other things, but to be honest her advice was too cheesy and in all honesty I was eating a cheese sandwich and it felt like too much cheese for one day. And that's saying something.

When I first started this blog I didn't know what to think! I didn't know what to expect. So much has happened to me and it's nice that I can look back through the archives and laugh. Oh public journals- the exposure expected. 

My brother asked me why I blog if I am not getting anything back from it? Well young brother - you have much to learn. I am apart of a community.. though momentarily my section of the community doesn't get visited often.. that will all change in due time! Patience is a virtue I face everyday (I am the most impatient person you will ever meet). My life is very fast paced and those who can't keep up are left behind. 

But back to the "celebration". This week - or sometime soon in the future I will be blogging about a recipe I attained and well it's been lingering in my mind ever so often that it's left a permanent mark - I feel I should honor it.. somehow? THE GIST IS STAY TUNED.

After numerous calls from the library I finally caved in to pick up that large order of books I had placed on hold. Behold my plans for the rest of the summer (and then some); and to think, not all the books have arrived yet.

This is how I think the conversation will look like between a classmate when school starts:
Fellow Student: "Hello Dea what did you do all summer?"
Me in all of my expertise: "I immersed myself in the waters of education and I swam through till the very end"
"...wtf"

And here's a delicious treat my mother made one night.

And they tasted EVEN better.
