As the World Turns

I love my kids, but their sports commitments are taking over my life. I can hardly remember what it was like not to be on permanent chauffeur duty. I’m sure there are many moms out there who can relate to this. We are a soccer family, and as such spend much of our week at the field for practices and games. When there are no soccer commitments, it moves on to basketball, volleyball and track. And while the sports commitment is a lot, most mothers will know that the laundry commitment is even worse. While it is a lot of work, I would not trade it for anything. There is nothing more thrilling than watching them score a goal or a basket. Their competitive spirits are a joy to see. They are kept fit and healthy, with all the running they do, and hopefully the sports they do will be lifelong interests for them.

I hardly ever watch television, but when it comes to Desperate Housewives, I can’t miss a minute of any episode. The show is really addicting, and keeps you thinking throughout the week, wondering what the next piece of intrigue will be. Desperate Housewives is about several women and their families living in the same neighborhood. As the seasons progress, various difficulties, scandals and events occur with the characters interacting. There is often a big underlying mystery that unfolds as the season progresses, and is revealed in the last episodes of that season. I love Desperate Housewives because it is a story with so many twists and plots woven together with the characters developing and changing over time. Some ideas begin and resolve in one episode. Others in two, three or four episodes and still others take an entire season to play out with a surprising ending. I am always wondering what will happen on the next episode. It is unrealistic to expect the number and type of scandals that appear on this show to occur in real life, but that is exactly what makes this drama exciting and interesting. If the lives and events of the characters were realistic, there would not be near the amount of interest and enjoyment that there is, and yet none of the antics are so far fetched as to be unbelievable. One of the aspects of this show I really enjoy is the comedy. Even though this is a very interesting drama, there is so much to make the viewers laugh. I hardly ever find anything funny in a typical sitcom, and I do not care at all for the canned laughter of a sitcom, but I love the hilarious situations and lines embedded in Desperate Housewives. I get to laugh without someone else telling me what is funny. Often the comedy is subtle, making it all the better and other times it is outright blatant, such as the time Gabrielle pushed a portable potty across a yard in a dress and high heels. I do hope Desperate Housewives continues for many more seasons. Although it is difficult for me to set its Sunday night time aside, I always do, and I am always completely rewarded. Then, I can’t wait until next Sunday to find out what will happen then.

Today I am wearing a blue color slim fit full sleeves shirt there are black color strips over there, the fabric is so comfortable that I love too wear that for hours, with that blue color shirt I am matched a sky blue color “narrow bottom” jeans and put a funky belt, it is light in color and looks very stylish with the clothing. To give my look funkier, I had putted a denim waist coat over the shirt and also canvas shoes which is in combination of black and white color. Also I didn’t to forget to wear Goggle, watch and bracelet to enhance my dressing sense. The goggle which I prefer today is of black shade and looks awesome on my face and the watch I prefer is having a sporty look, not a formal it is black in color will silver dial and digital one. The bracelet I had chosen is of silver metal one, having some stylish jewelry design over that.

Horseback riding has been my hobby since I was a little kid. I started riding at a nearby stable when I was seven years old. I took lessons with a woman names Martha for a few years and learned a lot of the basics. When I was a little older, I started riding with a more advanced trainer, Chris, who I still train with today, With Chris’s help, I began eventing. There are three different main events in eventing- dressage, cross country, and show jumping. Dressage is like ballet on horseback. The horse and rider team performs a predetermined pattern and are judged on the balance and beauty with which it is executed. Cross Country involves jumping a series of obstacles laid out in a course across fields and woods. Show Jumping involves jumping in the show ring and is scored based on time and knock-downs of obstacles. This hobby takes a lot of time. I take a lesson with my trainer every week. I ride my competition horse five additional days per week. I am also working a few horses for other people right now. If I’m not at work, I’m at the barn, but I love every minute of it.

Dogs and humans are considered as friends from along period. The dogs provide us security, loyalty, friendship so we in turn are responsible for giving them good care, shelter, safety to them as reward for what they are doing for us. I am writing down some points that should be taken care of. Bathing your dog is necessary; it helps in keeping out skin infections. At least it should be given bath once in a bath, if it gets too dirty rub of with a towel. Care must be taken that separate dog clothing must be used as for our health. Then an ID can be attached to its collar with our name and address in case if the dog gets lost somebody who finds it can return it. Then the physical check up of the dog should be done regularly by going to a veterinarian .Another important thing is diet, proper balanced diet. If you want your dog to be healthy you must at least follow these points.

Last night I made Beef Stroganoff from scratch. I also made Basil Carrots as a side dish. I wanted a good meal but did not want to take a lot of time. The stroganoff had round steak, mushrooms, onion, and garlic. It had a good flavor. The sauce was made from butter, flour, beef broth, ketchup, and sour cream. I served it over wide egg noodles. Stroganoff is a comfort food to me and so I enjoy it whenever I make it. The basil carrots are an easy recipe that I got from my parents. It has sliced carrots cooked in butter with salt and basil sprinkled over the carrots. It is an excellent way to use carrots. I thought the basil carrots turned out well. They were soft and tender and flavorful even though I cooked them fast on a high temperature. Even though the dinner was thrown together as quickly as possible I think it was delicious overall. These are no-fail recipes!

Last vacation was my honeymoon as I got married very recently. So my last vacation will be one of the most memorable occasions in my life time. We went to a hill station and stayed there for a week’s time. The climate was very pleasant and pleasing. The dew drops on the leaves were so dazzling and there was a light drizzle all the time. The place was so scenic and greenery and especially very romantic. It was an idle place for all newly married couples. The lake was so big and we enjoyed a boating there. The horse ride too was very thrilling. I was so reluctant to get on top of the horse initially but later on somehow managed for a ride. Eating hot corn while sitting at the bank of the river is so wondrous that you will forget yourself. Cycling around the lake was a fun task and there was a tough competition between me and my husband. Finally I won the race. We’re waiting to visit the place once again.

I have been working as a cake decorator for a number of years and it is a very rewarding job. It’s actually not nearly as hard as it looks once you learn the basics. I work now mostly on the custom order cakes that the bakery receives as I’ve been there the longest of any of the decorators. This is kind of the coveted position since it allows one to be more creative. Today I actually made on of the most interesting cakes I’ve ever designed. It was for a 17 year old girl who loved dragons. I promised her mother that I would make something dragon themed and unique for their party. I ended up cutting a sheet cake into the shape of flames on one end and on the other outlining a dragon (transferred from a picture I had printed out). I filled the dragon outline in with a writing gel so that it looked like scales. It’s hard to describe, but it looked pretty impressive and the customer was ecstatic.

Today was a great day for me; of course everyday is a great day for me. I take it in that way. I love my life and Thank you God for this wonderful life. Today I got up only at 9am since I went bed very late after a birthday party with my friend. I did not get my cup of hot coffee from my wife since she had left for office at 8.30am itself. So I prepared it myself, but did not taste as good as the one she makes for me with love. After having a shower went to the dining table to have my break fast. I found a small gift pack for me from my wife. I was very curious and opened it and found a car key with a note. “Honey I did not want to disturb you so I have kept it here, Mercedes Benz the one which you wanted last year” the note said. What a surprise! I was so happy just took the car and met her in her office and asked her take leave as I. I hugged her with joy, she was very happy to see me excited. I thanked her very much for the gift. We went to the beach after a long time but it started drizzling once we got settled. So we had to wind up and we went to a movie. After the movie was over we went for dinner and returned home. It was a wonderful day!!

Last weekend my good friend and I took a trip to our county fair. There we had a lot of fun sampling the different foods offered. I tried a deep friend Oreo for the first time. It was quite delicious, but artery-clogging I’m sure. I also had a snow cone and some cotton candy. The rides were probably the best part of the fair. It’s unfortunate that the tickets are so expensive. I spent almost 20 dollars and went on four rides. Oh well, it was worth it. The Ferris wheel was pretty large for one at a local fair. We also went on the Star Slide, Tilt-o-whirl, and another ride that flipped us upside down. I believe it was called the twister. The animals at the fair were a fun addition as well. We saw a lot of guinea pigs, which we always like since I have a few as pets. The cows weren’t anything special, but we did catch the tail end of the pig auction.
