As I listen to Mariah Carey sing O Holy Night its time to bid farewell.
Have a very Merry Christmas, have fun and a restful day (after all the cooking done). Eat a pastelle, ham & some stuffing for me.
Ring in the New Year in style and don't make any resolutions you can't stick to. Have a good time with family & friends and enjoy the season. We all know what comes next...
I'm off to Disney World Caribbean beach Resort for Christmas & New Year and will be back on the 3rd Jan. I suspect I'll have alot of catching up to do when I return.
from me to you Good Night!

Silver Mudders
Anyone played with them in recent years? I wanted to find out what their route is mainly. I have emailed them today, I'll see how fast I get a reply.
Browsing Triniscene
Babysitting = more time for computing. One child entertains the other.
Anyway back to the topic. I was initially searching for other j'ouvert stuff and I started browsing some of the galleries. First off, big up to the Trini girls most of which are rocking some real hot clothes(reminding me just how much I need to update my wardrobe before I start hitting fete in Feb). But I ain't understanding the men choices. Cause some women that looking real pretty have a real ugly man that hanging on to them. But who is me. Let me shut up with that before I get boff.
Once I started I had to trawl through some of the other galleries.Its me being fas from all the way over here seeing what old faces are up to.
Zan head big dread, cause I know he have two matchstick legs under them big jeans so his head to me looking real big I keep laughing anytime I see him. Like the ras though. Machel have some nice zip ups I'll give him that I wanna know where he shopping. Browsing the triniscene galleries is also a good means of checking out the local ahm *cough* *cough* 'talent' lol but that is few and far between. Hard pickings boy.
Moving along the dancers in Zen have skills, hot clothes and nice boots too. Well at least 2 of them, the other one need feeding though somebody help her.
ok so note to self: new tops, new shoes & pointy ankle boots, crop pants.
now I have to do another post about what I originally wanted to do

Holiday!!!
I'm on holiday officially. School is still on here till Tuesday. the diet went out the window considerably. But I don't really care right now. I'll fret when I get back in January.
Next Sunday we'll be off to airport early o'clock. We're flying through Detroit on Northwestern?? Never heard of this airline. wasn't expensive though. Detroit might be really cold, possibly snow I'm not sure. Would be fun if it did snow properly.
Looking foward to vacation now.
and Caisoqueens blog made me miss Trini boy. It was a real sweet blog. I think it captured the soul of any Trini abroad.
My hair is cut short now as of yesterday. It just falls under my ears I love it. Last night was a good night out. Chinese xmas meal. was 5 degrees though. ARRGGHH! we were in the restaurant from 8 till midnightish. Really lovely food.
Today's Chinese was good as well. Its hard eating the same kinda food 2 days in a row. Did my wifey bit for the day. Got rid of the boys and I'm home alone now - RESULT! I'm really really sleepy. I'm talking to my friend & mom on msn at same time.
ITs coming up on 5 o'clock and pitch black outside humph.
I still love Destra, any fete she at, I'll try and be there yes. she have me hooked!

Tribe's latest email
I'm sure everbody had a good read. Its good that foreigners could pay towards their costume instead of having to to pay the bulk at collection. Very important I will be looking into the system they're using. I don't have the name in mind now will correct when I get home. I figure its prob similar to paypal I just want to be sure there'll be no charges for doing the transactions on my bank account first (highly doubt anyway)
Tribe not Red Ants holding the Christmas party 22nd Dec as we've all read. Nice lil christmas get together for the masqueraders. Theyre are more or less one in the same running in the same camp but I got the idea it was going to be under the Red ants more than Tribe.
No word on venue for Bliss.
Nice of them to keep intouch awww

2 weeks
2 weeks till Florida, 2 weeks till xmas.
I real sleepy maybe I'll catch some z's in a minute. My mother in law is here and i'm just kinda hiding out upstairs biding time lol. Made some lovely tortilla wraps when I came back from church this morning. Been a really good day so far. My son was in a Nativity play at his sunday club. Came home put on the christmas music while making lunch. I now is just time for some sleep dread.
Finishing work this Fri and I will go back on Jan 9th. getting my nails did on thurs for Sat night. Sat cutting hair and ting ting HAH! Need a nice top though.
Blizzard beach looks to be closed for the period I'll be in Disney :-( But on the upside the malls should be open till late. one less park to see, more time I could go shopping.
Have a good weekend. Enjoy the sunshine & warmth for those who are getting it.

Carnival Gossip
Now these are just lil bits I picked up while I touched base with Trini this morning. How much of it will come to pass i ain't know, I just sharing anyway.
1. Bliss for 2007 may be in Moka - uncofirmed. they've checked out the area but not sure if they want to use it.
2. Red Ants should be doing a party for Christmas - (if on the day itself or just around Christmas I prob should have gotten more details on )
3. Route - bands should be using the same routes throught town etc, but instead of going to QPs as we know, it might be a matter of going round the QPS, which I have to say doesn't sound like a bad idea. Where they leave off from there is another issue. Ideas being thrown around still, band leaders are still undecided. - Cipriani boulevard, St Clair ave to end up by Roxy, Maraval Road - all which lead off from savannah way. So they should just be having judging points on the road, like how they do on Ariapta ave, downtown etc by the sounds of things.
4. The idea of having make up people on Mon & tues was brought up but is prob not very feasable considering the amount of time and amt of people as well. So highly unlikely. Although my fingers are still crossed for it. :-(
And in general converse the idea of planning & organisation was brought up. In respect to all the up and coming carnival bands (yuh know everybody bringing out a band these days - the more the merrier BUT...)
Carnival Mon & Tues on de road:
Where Tribe tend to be customer focused and listen to the opinions of the masqueraders and learn from past mistakes on how to improve on things. Other bands esp newbies may not realise the amt of preparation it really takes for them to get to that level. New bands want to follow fashion and be 'it' but not really taking into consideration what it takes to get there. When carnival come round they not up o scratch & shit hit the fan. Now I'm not saying that its all bad, I'm sure its good for most of the masqueraders. But good, is not good enough and good in comparison to the likes of Tribe may mean mediocre. This is the consensus from Carnival insider not mine, but I can agree.
Giving people the experience you advertise is hard work and they have to be putting it all in from now. When is Feb? I know that Dream team sticking on certain things, so if they want to really establish themselves and succeed on de road - heads up, eyes open.
I wish ALL the bands the best of course. Carnival is the Greatest Show on Earth not so? Emphasis on Show. The idea is to have alot of bands on the road showcasing their theme, as many as possible to make it interesting. And when new bands do it well,it establishes them for years to come and hence more choice for us the players brought foward.
I just want to make it clear that I am not some pro Tribe fanatic ranting away lambasting other bands (which I haven't). I'm just saying that its Feb soon, we already have the 'pleasure' of the no stage/route drama. Incase of any hiccups with the latter, the bands should make a real effort to come good so that things go as smoothly as possible Mon & tues as they should do anyway. Make it count!

Its the most wonderful time of the year
Ding dong ding dong. Its Dec Hurrah!
I'm loving the season but definately need to me out more to be able to sing while I shop. Wish they had a nice christmasy template I could use.
I love all the old hyms you'd hear in church for christmas. I'd get goosebumps and get all soppy. Band Aid do they know its Christmas could make me cry anyday. How i miss carol service.
I'm going to be watching my son in his school Christmas play tomorrow night should be quite good.
Updates:
Bought my second round of Dove intensive I think its recently started to work.
Going out for meal tonight with kickboxing crew, 10 of us. Someone's offered to pick me up for a change so I don't have to drive either. You know when you always getting laboured with pickups and drop offs. I have to say it is a priority to know that people get home safely when its late at night or if its too cold out to be waiting on taxis or buses.
Went to a Virgin V party this Sat gone. They have some lovely jewellry but very price for just cotume stuff really. I'm not very good with make up and buying it. I do't do the war paint often, mostly when I'm going out and not every time either. That's still the part of me that needs to learn how to be a grown up lady.
The construction of the conservatory has FINALLY flipping started. Whoopee ding! Hopefully it'll be finished in a couple of weeks.
Next Sat & Sun I have 2 meals to go to both at chinese restaurants. I ain't know how the belly go deal with that one.
Seasons greetings to all
