Joululahjan käyttöönotto

Testivuorossa kinkunjämistä taiottua pastakastiketta maustettuna joululahjaksi saamallani pastakastikemausteseoksella.

Mausteseos on testattu on eriomaiseksi todettu.

 Loistva lahja, kiitos Miselmi-tädille.

Pastakastike itsessään oli varsin yksinkertainen

 muutama siivu joulukinkun jämiä kuutioituna - lisätään hiukan oliiviöljyä pannuun ja kinkkukuutiot kuullottumaan - tomattimurskaa tölkistä ja muutama murskattu valkosipulinkynsi joukkoon - loraus kermaa - kaksi hyppysellistä joululahjaksi saatua mausteseosta - annetaan hautua ja nautitaan täysjyvä fusillien kera.

Tämäpäiväisen lounaan juju siis piili yksinomaan lahjaksi saamassani mausteseoksessa.

Tried and Tested - loistava lahja.

Eilisen ruokatestailuna oli ohrajauhoilla suurustettua luumukiisseliä.

Hetken pelkäsin katastrofia - kiisseli ei aluksi näyttänyt jähmettyvän. Erottaisivat varmaankin marttakehosta, mikäli kiisseli olisi jäänyt hyytymäti. Jokaisen martan perustaitoihin kai kuuluu oikeaoppinen kiisselinvalmistus.

Käsillä on totaalinen Writers Block - hetki jolloin ei osaa kirjoittaa sanaakaan oikeaa asiaa.

Rakkaudella,

Christmas Party at Daycare

Angelic Sounds of the Laughing kids 

Christmas Songs singed from the bottom of the heart

Tears in my eyes

Excitement

Love in the air

That is what a Daycare Christmas party is made of.

I feel so honored I was able to be there to witness that all today.

part of me feels a bit guilty of appearing to the party, since I am at sick leave.

put I did not run around the Xmas tree and I tried not to hug and kiss anyone to not spread any bugs.

I felt kinda OK today, and I wanted to witness this party so much.

So I went there.

please, feel free to judge me for mis- use of sick days - I made a choice and fully stand behind it.

mostly at this point it seems that  I need a forgiveness only from my self for this miss-use  matter

After all, they are only little so short time.

a good party  includes inspiring dance moves

Lääkitys kohdillaan

Parahin Flunssa,

tällä hetkellä minulla ei ole tarjota Teille vapaita tapaamisaikoja kanssani.

On pakko siitää tapaamistamme tuonne joulupyhien tienoolle.

Pahoitteluni etukäteen, mikäli tästä aiheutuu Teille ylimääräistä vaivaa.

Juuri nyt et vaan kertakaikkiaan sovi aikatauluihini.

Rakkaudella,

Sallamari

 

Hit me with your best shot

It is time for Q&A.

You ask, I answer.

Drop and email or write you question on comment box.

Q&A post will appear just before Jule.

ps. if you ask about my knitting pattern, the answer is no. Only 'cause I don't have them.

*****

On kysymyspostauksen aika.

Saatte kysyä ja minä vastaan.

Laita sähköpostia ja tipauta kysymys kommenttiosastoon.

ps. en vastaa neuleohjeita käsitteleviin kysymyksiin. Yksinkertaisesti vai siksi, etten ymmärrä niistä mitään.

A sudden bold and unexpected question doth many times surprise a man and lay him open.

With Love,

Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week

Im so tired at the moment, that I have nothing useful in my mind.

Have been a busy weekend - cleaning, shopping, decorating and cherry on the top; some political activities.

Everything in political field is open at this moment, can't tell any news yet.

What else, well physically Im not feeling my best at the moment.

My skin dislikes winter. 

Itchy red spots appears here and there in my skin all so sudden. This is not the first time something like this happens. And my face is covered with spots and zits. I look like a bloody teenager.

Hair is falling.

All this makes me wanna cry. Why o why? What am I doing wrong this time?

deep inside, I know the answer - I should focus to balance my diet better

that might be the key

Still feeling pretty shit.

Even I am used to be ugly in Winters.

this makes me just hate dislike Winter a tiny bit more.

-11 degree celcius says thermometer today.

Inside my house is nice and cozy.

I put our Christmas socks on yesterday.

'winkwink' mr Sandy Claws, Im prepared.

Front door also got a wreath - its made out of caribou moss.

It is handmade, not totally by me this time. I bought a good blank wreath fixed it with ribbon.

Have you noticed, I added a poll on the left side on the blog.

Im asking my blog readers opinion about language choices.

Please, share you thoughts with me.

I also like to know opinions about some Q&A type of post, whould that be something?

and what about making a Xmas raffle, I could give away maybe something self made.

Any other topic you would like me to post?

Please share your thoughts with me.

With Love,

Sallamari

Ugly Duckling

Rumapäivä.

Ajatuksen tasolla tahtoisin tallustella loppupäivän paperipussi päässä.

Onneksi tämä on totta vain sisäisessä maailmassani.

Lucky You, jotka katsotte elämää pääni ulkopuolella.

stressiä, näppylöitä, tukka huonosti

movember viikset

rähmäiset silmät

edes juuri huolletut ripset eivät piristä ilmettä

juuri ripsien vuoksihan olen tänään liikkeellä liki meikittä

BLAAAAH.

TGIF.

kohta pääsen kotiin.

akkuni kaipaavat latausta.

For someone who likes tattoos, the most precious thing is bare skin.

So this post is dedicated to present my tattoos.

Lovely Bel asked me kindly share some pics of my tattoos, so here we go.

Altogether I have now days more than 20 too many tattoos to count individually.

Once I counted that I have sat far more than 80 hours under tattoo guns. 

(and I liked most of those hours)

But to be honest. If I had never ever taken the first tattoo, I would be totally bare skinned today.

I got my first one under a crisis (in a very bad moment and so on). It is was a one simple water drop - presenting purity and simple things that keeps you alive. (oh, what a drama queen I was on those days). It is all covered up now, hiding under a nautical star.

There is plenty of funny things and stories behind my tattoos. And Im proud to have pretty pics drawn to me by very talented people. Well, there is pics on me drawn by not so talented (or motivated ) artist too.

All the pics below belong to me.
Due to some filing related challenges, I had to borrow MY pics from websites :)

Very early state of my tattoos - around my wedding day
only bits and pieces here and there

my shoulder pics - old Stone Age gave painting from Finland : an elg headed boat

Eddie the Giraffe with some bubbles and dragonfly
(and there is the start that hides my first tattoo underneath it)

Trinity Know Brand
(it is really a scar, branded scar,  outlined with black ink)
And Forver - that one is my declaration for undying love

Sad but true, me and that other Forver are not in speaking terms anymore.
lucky us  love never dies - it only changes it appearance

This is how my back looks  at its current state

Beginning of my  funny colored tattoos -collection

After that more and more color has been added

from be front I look something like this

and this is how my left arm looks like today

After the left arm, we started with right arm

And today my right arm looks like this

Not all of my tattoos are shown here. 

Some of them are currently on so bad shape ( poor (like literally on those days, poor and broke, but had to get a tattoo) unlucky me - note to self : cheap price shit result) that even I do not want to look at them. So Im not showing them to you.

All My lovely Multicolored Artsy Tattoos (aka the flamingo, pony and the colors on my back) are made by Lovely Katariina.

I feel very honored to carry her beautiful work around with  me.

Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent; like tattoos and marriage

Mitä se sun terapia oikeastaan on - So what is the Therapy after all

Minulle terapia on ullakon siivousta.

Yläkerran sisutusta ja uudelleen organisointia.

Pään sisäisten asioiden uudelleen järjestelyä.

Terapeutti on se sisustussuunnittelija.

Remonttireiskana joutuu häärimään itse.

Raakaa työtä - ei taikuutta ja maagisia loitsuja.

Sori.

Loistava terapiaistunto tänään.

siirreltiin pöytiä - piirretiin ihmisiä ympärilläni

istuttiin selät vastakkain ja kuunneltiin maailman sanomaa musiikista

Olen kiitollinen ja täynnä hyvää oloa.

olo vaihtuu anteeksipyytelystä onnellisuuden ihmetykseen.

Ullakko on hiukan paremmassa järjestyksessä.

*****

For me, therapy is making some major cleaning work to loft section.

Extreme make-over for ones brainy sector.

Re-organization for  Your Internal Affairs

Therapist plays the part for interior designer.

and Yours Truly will be the manpower - the one that makes everything happen.

Hard work - no magic and mystery spells.

Sorry.

I had a generous therapy session today.

table got moved - I drew my a map of my relationships

we sat back to back and listened messages trough lyrics

Attic is a bit better order and feeling more organized again.

Song with a message for me today - I want to share it with you

Päivän viesti - tämä nousi esille tänään. Tahdon jakaa musiikillisen sanoman kanssanne.

With Love,

Sallamari

Happy B-day

I wanna say happy B-day to you, my love.

and thank you for loving me.

Now, I'm gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I'm gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I 

 (yeah, I know, no rain today - can see the clear sky, but it does not mean that I have stopped loving. The rain will come again. Trust me. I know what Im talking about.)

with Love,

Sallamari

You don't need to change the world; you need to change yourself

Such a terrific night last night at Fetish Club.

I met a lady who wowed me.

Lovely  Danni from Germany.

If I would be person, who falls in love invertible and easily, I would be so in love with her already.

There is something about her.

A connection.

We talked about walls - and about breaking them.

Freedom.

She said - one by one they eventually come down.

and you be braver and braver - more complacent - each day.

That night was one of The Nights of my life.

Full of laughter, fun and joy.

first step to tear down some walls that are begging to be broke down.

that are keeping me inside.

there is a World behind my wall.

(sorry for quoting your song title Tokio Hotel, well it is a pretty good title, nice way to say things about boundaries. - and well we can almost find a joke here, german and Tokio Hotel. Got that?)

Today I am letting a wall to go down.

I just bought a gym card for myself 

(havent done that in years - it says in my wall that I hate gyms)

and now Im off to Zumba.

(gonna have so much laugh today)

Im happy that our paths crossed Danni.

It was ment to, I know.

And Im looking forward to meet you again.

(back of my mind I know we gonna have a blast when we meet)

shhhhh. dont tell enyone. I so could fall  for lovely lady from Germany.

this info is just between you and me.

And yes, old grumpy me had so much fun yesterday.

So please, shush, we do not want anyone to know that either.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Im off to Zumba.

With love,

Sallamari

FYI - For Your Inspiration

Lainaisitko mulle hetkeksi mutsias hei

Sisällä kuplii paha olo.

Juntti Punaniska ei jaksa marinaa.

Eikä mulla ole äitiä kenelle soittaa purkaa pahaa oloa.

Olen BFF  vajaa - kukaan ei kipua kanssani sohvannurkkaan kuuntelemaan mikä tänään kiukuttaa.

Terapeutille ei juuri nyt ole varaa maksaa - kiitos ylläripylläri laskujen.

ja sen etten osaa säästää.

itkettää - ahdistaa - vituttaa

AHMIN

ja oksennan

so here we go again

paluu tilanteeseen nolla

pieni häiriö arkirytmiin ja mä hajoan totaalisesti.

mä en siis ilmeisesti kestä elämää.

mieli laukka ympyrää - suu vaatii pullaa.

 mä vihaan pullaa.

mä en oo koskaan pitänyt siitä.

siksi se onkin paras rangaistus

syösyösyösyösyösyösyösyösyösyösyö

rintaa puristaa ja musta tuntuu että mä kuolen.

tukehdun hitaasti.

karkkia

kakkua 

pullaa

jäätelöä 

leipää

nuudeleita

leipää-leipää-leipää

koska sitä on vaikeinta oksentaa

ja mä koitan edes näennäisesti olla kunnollinen.

mutta ei ole mun syy jos yskittää niin että oksentaa.

kerran.

kaksi.

koko päivän.

viikon.

 mä juoksen lujempaa, mä en joudu pysähtymään.

sillä pysähtyneenä mä olen hyödytön.

kaikki näkee mun läpi.

miten turha mä olen.

tarpeeton.

pelkkä hidaste.

haitta.

rasite.

tekis tuokin jotakin hyödyllistä.

ja lakkaisi olemasta tuollainen.

ei se osaa.

karusellihevonen - pyörii niin iloisena ympyrään, palatakseen takaisin lähtöpaikalleen.

kehältä ei pääse pois.

minkki pääsee vapauteen - minä, siis karusellihevonen, olen tuomittu pysymään pyörimässä.
kukaan ei pysäytä

kukaan ei pelasta.
 ei pääse vapauteen.

eikä ketään kiinnosta.

kiitos kuvasta, ken ikinä sen tekikään - lainasin tuon salaa netistä kun en tänään parempaa kykene.

en osaa keskittyä - en pysty olemaan paikoillani

pitää liikkua - tehdä - olla

koko ajan.

ei saa pysähtyä

sillä jos pysähtyy, jotakin kamalaa voi tapahtua

sillä tavalla kun jollekkin tapahtuu kamalaa jos ei koputa oveen kolmesti

tai pyörähdä oikean kautta ympäri risteyksessä.

minä ymmärrän.

kykeneekö hämmentyneen hymyn taakse näkemään

mä inhoan  kotia

se on ruma ja epäsiisti - ei suoraa Gloriasta leikatun näköinen

 niinkuin pitäisi olla 

mä inhoa  vartaloa.

se ei kelpaa EGL kuvatoon

 niinkuin pitäisi olla 

ja mä inhoan  tukkaa

koska se ei ole Lana Del Rayn tukka

paksu ja kiiltävä

HM mainoskamaa

 niinkuin pitäisi olla 

mä vihaan syvästi olematonta seksielämää

ja olen kateellinen siitä miten muut voivat olla tasapainoisia ja onnellisen seksuaalisia

mä en osaa

voi 

pysty 

kykene

eikä sillä että kukaan sellaista mun kanssa haluaisi

 niinkuin pitäisi 

mä olen kateellinen.

niin ei saisi olla

pitäisi olla

positiivinen 

täydellinen

harmooninen

aina iloinen

naurava

onnellinen

leikkisä 

seksikäs

viehättävä

ihana

eikä tälläiänen.

viallinen

inhimillinen

tasapainoton

hetken mietin, kuka tekstissäni puhuu täänään?

 miksi ääniä minussa on  monta.

yksikin riittäisi.

sillä pärjäisi.

sen kanssa jaksaisi.

olisipa edes se äiti.
se  joka jaksaisi, kuuntelisi ja lohduttaisi.
jep. mulla on tänään ikävä äitiä.
itketäänpä nyt sille sitten vielä tähän päälle

Rakkaudella,

Sallamari
