Mary, I hope that you & your cats have a more enjoyable (& settled) New Year than Christmas!

Irina, I know - Mothers are a worry aren't they?

Irina, I totally undestand what you've been going through your mother. Nowadays, at my home, I have 2 moms: my mom and my second mom, which are my aunt but she helped my mom to raised me and my sisters/brother. Both: mom and mom2 have some health problems, nothing serious, but demand careful and they are so stubborn...

I'm so busy right now that I almost don't have much free time to read all the posts here. Every year on the eve of New Year on Copacabana Beach always has many New Year's Eve parties, whether on the beach to watch the fireworks, either on the sidewalk with music shows. And as I live across the beach, my family, which is nothing small, resolved to combine party here at home. It's cool but a lot of work to do. Today I am already preparing 3 desserts: lemon tart, chocolate mousse and peitinho de mulatta, tomorrow I have yet to make two more. If anyone has any suggestions quick and easy to do, please tell me. My sister is going to produce the entries, my father drinks and my other sister will bring the rest of the things like balloons, hats, more food and etc. they will in principle thirty-five people here at home just to look the fireworks and all... Sometimes a great party becomes a real headache and that's how I feel.

oh Iza, i totally understand you, right now I'm preparing the New Year's menu for about 20 people....I'm too busy to share recepies now

have fun tonight, all of you!

ohhhhhhhh Iza it must be a fantastic new Year's party I understand that you can have a headache but I think it's worth it

iza, to be the one organizing the party i shard but the partu sounds fun. i hope you have fun !!!

It was really a fantastic party! We danced until 5:30 am ...Lots of greats moments with family and friends. The food was very good, lots of snacks, cold food(because here is very hot: 34ºC at night), drinks, merengue, chocolates, tartes and etc. Shortly after everyone left, I decided vacuuming cleaner the whole house. I know it sounds , but I do not like to stay with the dirty house and wait for it be clear. Once there by 7:00 am, I took a shower and went to the beach for a swim with my dear Ravena, because I think it brings lucky to start the new year on the beach recharging the energy . On the other hand, I spent all yesterdasy afternoon sleeping and I'm still tired, but it was very worthwhile! The refrigerator is so full of goodies, I think I gain a few pounds ...

GOOD LUCKY TO ALL MY BJDG FRIENDS AT THE NEW YEAR!

Wow!! That sounds gorgeous Iza! I am glad to hear that you had great time I hope your new year will be as good as that night
I wish happy new year to all my BJDG friends, again!

Hi guys, I'm probably forgotten here and I feel really awful that I haven't written anything constructive for sooo long (can't even remember when was the last time, about half a year ago...?). And I can't blame university or anything else for that - though I'm having a pretty tough time, I'm starting to think that my course of studies is too demanding for my laziness and unwillingness to study hard . It's just I have somehow drifted away from the skating world - I don't even know when that happened - which was probably caused by my continuing problems with actually getting to see some skating live (and for THAT I can blame university and life of a poor student in Warsaw ). But it's not that I have actually forgotten about this sport - it was enough to watch a video of Isa and Oliver from Courchevel and all the magic of this sport striked back
Anyway, I'm really hoping to give figure skating some more time (maybe not precisely now, as from next week I'm starting fourteen days of constant exams), and BJDG of course too



C.

P.S. Has the thread about movies disappeared or am I getting blind...?

It is a pleasure of seeing again Carol to you! Studies move many members away, but it is comprehensible, lol, as job!

- its good to see you back with us again, we do understand the problems of no skating & too much work - hope the exams go well!!

Nice to see u again, Carol!
Good luck with your studies!

Im sorry for disappearing, dear ladies, but I have had really busy days lately! Im working, working, working and working - its a bit exhausting but also really enjoyable as I have ideas and I feel creative but sometimes its also tiresome, because sometimes I cant write as I want myself to write etc...

Anyway, I still have to write two articles before Europeans (one will be probably written only in Tallinn...), tomorrow Im leaving, of course having all the stress before travelling... I hope everything will be fine...

I'm always glad to see you here Titi & don't worry, we know that you (as the Bosslady!!) have huge responsibilties these days! Just try not to overdo it & take care of yourself

I also really like our Euros banner!! I assume it is Saori's work? Its lovely.....
