Yardies a home and a farrin (Part 20)

ROFL @ Tre's yoga story.

Competitive tai chi??

That, and me having to get used to the fact that there's no more real "me" time when I get home from work anymore. Before, I could come home and unwind a little bit, let my mind rest and get myself back together before I moved on to the next task, but no more. Now, because my husband is there by himself all day, he demands all of my attention when I get home. And while most days I don't mind, on a couple of occasions lately I told him that I needed some time to relax first, and I think it hurt his feelings. I just keep trying to remember to be patient, and to remember that this won't last forever.

Been (and still am) there.

Steven wasn't liking my internet time when I'd get home, so I started staying a few minutes later at work if I wanted to catch up online.

Nat get Steven into the computer then he won't have a problem with you when you are on it. I think Hubby is on the computer more than I am now. He is the FB KING!

Does anyone know how to make a Jamican fruit cake??? I think fruit cake is just nasty but my man likes it and I am going to attempt and make one for him once he is here so I better start trying now.

You know how many ingrediants in fruit cake? I would find an international store and buy it. Way too much work.

And, I think you have to let it sit a while for the rum to ferment or whatever it does, right?

Mi mada mek dem.

I made one just a couple of weeks ago for my hubby's bday!

It didnt look as black and they say you only get that color with grace browning, which I didnt have, but it gets pretty dark due to creaming and burning the brown sugar.

For the cake to taste pretty authentic, you do need to let the fruits soak about a week

I soaked mine in red label wine adn then actually used the rum when i made the cake..but I think it would be better using rum for both!

Nat---Tai Chi...in its original forms, was originally only practiced by Shaolin monks who were trained for the art of war. The series of movements (all based on various animal signs) were specific attack movements, and only the best monks were trained. Although the movements look graceful, each one is a deadly move. To understanding the real reason behind each movement it is better to train at a kung fu school that specializes in wu shu or something similar. That's what I did when I was in Maryland. To train competitively it's about the execution of the techniques in the form alone (forms) or against an opponent (push hands). I had national ranking back in '03 or '04 I believe in my push hands. I love that kinda stuff. Loved to learn about the animal movements, the weapons, the forms, all of that...

Well, while I'm waiting for DADA to get to business () I'll give you a brief update on how hubby and I are adjusting. First let me say that I truly am thanking God that I finally have my husband here. I know he is my blessing, my king, and I look forward to doing so much with him as time goes on. With that being said, it's beginning to get a little more tense around the house. My husband has been here since 11/1, and unfortunately we still haven't received his greencard in the mail yet, so he still hasn't been able to go out and look for work. We know for a fact that there are a few places hiring within walking distance (I live a mile and half from a major shopping center in the area), but it feels like we're stuck in regards to applying since there's no telling when the card will come in. Unfortunately because he's stuck at the house most of the day, he's become incredibly antsy. And before you guys say anything, I'm trying to put myself in his shoes. This is a man that is used to working and taking care of his entire family, and now, he is able to contribute very little financially to the household, and this is definitely taking its toll on him. He does help out in alot of other ways (cooking, cleaning, taking care of Kingston, laundry, etc) but he told me that he gets tired of seeing me walk out of the door every morning to go to work, and he isn't able to do so I do my best to convince him that hopefully it won't be much longer, and it breaks my heart to come home and see him just looking at me with sad eyes because he feels like he's not doing enough. So, that's the major stuff we're trying to work through. That, and me having to get used to the fact that there's no more real "me" time when I get home from work anymore. Before, I could come home and unwind a little bit, let my mind rest and get myself back together before I moved on to the next task, but no more. Now, because my husband is there by himself all day, he demands all of my attention when I get home. And while most days I don't mind, on a couple of occasions lately I told him that I needed some time to relax first, and I think it hurt his feelings. I just keep trying to remember to be patient, and to remember that this won't last forever. Aside from that, he really seems to like the NC area. He went bowling for the first time last night, and ended up having a good time (will post some pics on FB). Of course we've gone out to shopping centers, gone to movies, out to the bars, enjoyed friends, and have gone out to listen to some good live reggae music. We hope to be able to do much more when he starts working. He hasn't complained of missing home much, and has been able to talk to his mother and brothers on a fairly consistent basis. I also make sure that he calls his family in NY at least once or twice a week, and right now we're hoping to plan a trip there in the spring Long story short, there have been a couple of bumps...but he hasn't blown up any appliances, there's been no blood shed, and there are enuff sexy parties a gwaan to make everyting irie! We're anxiously looking forward to the arrival of the GC though so we can keep moving forward with school and work. Good luck to everyone whose hubbys/so's are coming soon or just got here.

Mamjew: You had me cracking up with that "hot toddy"..my mama used to make those for me and my sister as we got older and we weren't feeling well (I'm sure there's a law against that! ). She would heat up some honey and lemon on the stove, and mix it with some brandy. Wrap us up in blankets, and everything from the rooter to the tooter was coming out of us!

my auntie did that for me when I was in SC... dems the best way to get rid of whateva ailes ya!
