Funniest Halloween Pics and Toons

I just wanted to share some funny stuff of Halloween. Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday, my sweetie's dad!!!

Today, my sweetie's dad was born. It's his birthday!

Generally, I havent had close relationships with any of my former boyfriend dads, but mostly with their moms. But this time it is different: I really appreciate this gentleman.

Since he studied in Paris, France, we started conversations related to French culture since almost the minute we meet, and we talk a lot (I studied French language because of my work). And although my boyfriend says his dad is not a great talker -specially concerning his work- we usually have never ending conversations about the factory he runs.

I admire this man because his modesty and simple way of life. Even being a man with a great position, he is not a sophisticated person, and never looks anyone over his shoulder (as we say in Chile). He knows his job and he performes it correctly.

I've heard he is a great boss. He sacrifices his vacation for his workers to have theirs. He is fair and  worries about his workers wellness.

I wish him a so very happy birthday from the deepest bottom of my heart!!!

Pink and Aquamarine

I love dressing in pink and aquamarine. Have a nice Wednesday!!!

My honey and I at the House Of Rock :)

My Best Birthday EVER!!!

I sang all night long. Battery (Metallica's Tribute Band) sang Happy Birthday for me!!!

Those guys rock!!!

Tomorrow I'll celebrate my b-day

Tomorrow is the big day. A Metallica's Tribute Chilean band named Battery will play at the House Of Rock & Blues (http://www.houserock.cl/) and I'll be there to celebrate my 35th birthday. It is my dream come true!!!

It may sound silly for most of you, but you got to know that I am just a simple person who is happy with simple things. I really don't need more things or money.

Lets see: I love music. I love rock. I love guitar solos. I love Metallica. I love James Hetfield's voice. I just whisper for that to have a perfect evening.

My closest friends (almost all of them) and my sweetie will be there sharing my joy. I think that is what counts, being surrounded by your dearest ones.

Well, I know I'll miss my friends who cannot make it for several reasons, but mostly because next Monday is going to be a holiday, so many people is getting off Santiago de Chile for 3 entire days. That is georgeous! I can understand they want to go away.

Even though I think I'll have a good time. I'm so excited about it that I doubt I'd be able to sleep tonight!!!

Next Sunday is my Birthday!!!

October 11th, I'll be 35 years old of pure joy, love, emotions, and rock!!!

It's been 35 years of being in this life: my life!!!

I've been a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a niece, a girlfriend, a class mate, a job mate and a rocker in ways that I cannot describe because it is not for me to say.

But I enjoyed every moment of singing, dancing, shouting and laughing.

I'm glad I've been here all these years. I love my age!!!

Witty quote from Cheeky Quotes

Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing.

That is SO right!!! LOL

My Cat - Blue Monday

Go for more great posts of this event kindly hosted by Sally at http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/.

I made this set for my cat to try to eat from the plate. But cats have not opposite thumbs so I gave up the knife and fork lessons.

Anyway, you can appreciate his blue eyes, blue collar, blue bell, and the blue flower in the china.

Have a lovely Blue Monday!!!

London Bear - Show and Tell Friday

 

It's Friday!!! I love Fridays!!!

You can participate in the Show and Tell event by Kelli at http://kellishouse.blogspot.com/   

My show and tell of this week is my keyholder.

A cute little teddy bear that my brother-in-law gave me when he went to Cambridge to study.

This little guy can bend it's arms and legs, just like the big ones. And his shirt definitely tells us he is in love with England.

The colourful background is made with some of my scarfes. I thought it'd look nicer that way.

Well, that's my show and tell item.

Have a great weekend!!!

Elephant Riding in Zimbabwe - Outdoor Wednesday

Susan at A Southern Daydreamer is the gracious hostess for Outdoor Wednesday. Participants post pictures of anything that they might find outdoors. Come join in!

My post for today is an outdoor Elephant Riding in Zimbabwe. As you can tell from the pictures, Elephant Riding is very scary since you are very high (you could touch the trees crowns!) One woman payed for the trip but couldn't do it, and regreted it when all of us came back safely.

After the trip we had the chance to feed the elephant that carried us and caress it.

Have a great Outdoors Wednesday, girls!

Roses in Cross Stitch

I've been so busy stitching roses in a towel that I don't even take the time to take a pic of it. I promise to post one soon.

Have a great day!
