bubble and squeak

Good advice

Says We Are All One


Being happy is good!

I'm pretty happy at home,
And pretty happy here,
And pretty happy lately all the way around.

I ate some chocolate covered blueberries last night.
With a cheery glass of Almond Champagne.
I am in the "Wine Country" part of California,
and they are known for the almond champagne.
Oh - I ended up calling them "blurberries"
- I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I ate more this week-
More than in the last 5 years altogether!

I Wicked-ized myself today to be green for sure.

So yeah, getting out and about, trying new things,
trying to do it all without being anxious.
I was a wee little bit anxious the other day,
But I calmed myself down.
Because I knew there was nothing to fear.

The need to be in control all the time is 
not a strength..... 
kind of like being angry is not a "power"

So much to learn - it's all good!
Hope you are doing great today
Happy happy joy joy!

*Extra Points* if you know what "bubble and squeak" 
is - without googling it, of course, eh?

  2. You look great in green and pink. :)

    No need to be anxious. Life is one big adventure. And like a roller coaster, there are ups and downs but it's a good ride.

  7. But you're the super GOOD witch, we all know that. :)

    I want a t-shirt that says NO SNIVELING. I can hang it up next to the one that says: NO CRAP CARBS!

    I'm a Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap lover. My eczema means I can't always use it, but in summertime, that peppermint blast is so refreshing. I need it come August to make me feel alive and less wilted. :)

  8. MMMMMMM chocolate covered blurberries!! hehehe...I want to try them! I plan on splurging a wee bit myself over the next few days, but not all wonky wild and outta control either.
    I like you HAPPY and also in pink and green. Reminds me, when I was in high school someone said that pink & green was the "preppy" color combo and purple and green was the punk color combo. To this day, deep purple and army green is a favorite combo! Keep having a blast!

  10. My husband was born in England and his parents came to Canada when he was little. We use to eat bubble and squeak and I'm not sure it is the same as you are thinking. We use to have this on Monday nights as Sunday we always had Roast Beef. It was potatoes and cabbage fried together and sometimes he added an egg (toad in the hole) or bacon if we didn't have roast beef. It was so good, my mum use to call it hash but not in the Wood household.......:-)Hugs

  13. I don't even know what sniveling means let alone the bubble thing. But I do know I am glad to see you happy and enjoying yourself. I had a little epiphany after reading that bit about being in control. Wise words, my friend. That has been part of my problem forever. It's a good thing to learn.

  18. My Aussie friend says "bubble and squeak"
    is a generic term for "left-overs...."
    "Odds and Sods......"
    Random Bits from here and there.
    Kinda like this post was a hodgepodge of randomness!
