Simple Pleasures

So far, I'm enjoying these vacations so much.
Got and gave pretty gifts, spent quality time sleeping and cocooning around and eating way, way too much. (But that's ok, that's why New Years' resolutions exist.)
Also rediscovered the forgotten wonders of wrestling and fighting around until you are all but passed out from exhaustion and laughter.
I still don't know how we'll spend our New Years' Eve though...waiting for an invitation I guess.

Today's first thing that made me laugh...

Click on it if you can't read. This kind of thing makes my day.

A new look!

I figured it was time to change the layout to Silly Kitchen Witch.
I still love the girl with a pearl earring, but I wanted something new. I changed a lot since I started this blog, years ago, so I wanted the blog's look to reflect that.
Hope you like it!

Pre-Holiday workout Motivation

Yes, another Britney post...but it's okay, it's her big week, birthday , new CD and all. (Yes, I did buy it.)

It's positive this time though.
The critics have been harsh with Brit-Brit for the last few years. Let alone calling her an aweful mother, junkie and all around insane, they criticised her about her body that changed after she had her kids.


I have to admit, the hair looks unkempt, but she does have a better body then the vast majority of us ever will ever have even at her worst.

But these before pictures, appart from making women around the world feel better because even Britney Spears can look like that sometimes, are even greater when you see the Afters.

This is Brit from the last few days.

I know, I know...Boobs! But also, love her coat! And she looks awesome! And this a mom's body. Which means anyone can look like that if they put some (a lot) of effort into it.

If only I could get my hands on her trainers and personal chefs, I'd be all set. But more realisticaly, more veggies, less sugar and perhaps a bit of training would do the trick. I learned from last time, that only cutting on the food with no or little excercise don't produce good results. It only gets one flabby and emaciated. Honestly, I could loose only 5 lbs, and gain a bit of muscle tone and that would be excellent.

And why....why do I talk about all that on a public blog is beyond me, this probably should have stayed in my mind.

Congrats my Love!

Last Friday night was my BF's Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer. It was the first time I attended something so...ceremonial. It was a great experience and I felt so proud of him. Hearing his name being called out and watching him go on stage...

After all those years of hard work and studies, he received the Iron Ring the engineers traditionaly wear on their right little finger.

Then his family held a huge dinner party at their house and it felt like Christmas came a few weeks sooner this year.

Bravo mon Amour! T'es le meilleur!
