Christmas

Hello World!

27 January 2011 by kristarella

No, this is not my first WordPress post with the default title, but I’ve been mostly away from the internet for so long, that I feel like I need to say HI! Where was I? Towards the end of last year I was overwhelmed by work, and then I was sick for some time. I […]

Merry Christmas: spot the difference!

25 December 2008 by kristarella

Merry Christmas everyone! There’s a house across the street from us that always has a Christmas lights display. I took a photo 2 years ago and I took another one this year. See if you can spot all the differences! There may or may not be a prize for the person who gets the most. […]

Boxing Day Sales!

27 December 2007 by kristarella

Americans have Black Friday (which I only heard of this year!); in Australia we have Boxing Day sales. Perhaps they’re in America too, but we don’t have Thanksgiving, so there’s no post-Thanksgiving-holiday sales. Actually Boxing Day is a public holiday: only the main city stores are open for the sales. Thank goodness for that — […]

Merry Christmas!

25 December 2007 by kristarella

Here’s wishing you all a Merry Christmas! Hope it’s full of joy and peace, not stress and road rage. 😛 Check it out: even my phone (using the Everchanging theme) knew it was Christmas! Totally cool. 😀 I hope that you also get a chance to pay some mind to what Christmas is about. Sometimes […]

Nail refresh with a 🌈 of subtle ombres, and yummy home made dinner of pepper steak (recipe in high protein cookbook by @helena__sly) and protein cheesecake with berries. With my sense of smell missing there are a lot of things I can't taste, but I could taste most of this 👌🏻#smallwins #sistaco
I have completely lost my sense of smell. Hopefull I have completely lost my sense of smell. Hopefully only temporarily! It is quite surreal knowing there is something strong smelling and not detecting it at all. Last night I burned these almonds and couldn't smell a thing, so I went and smelled the gin and whisky bottles... Nothing! 🦠👃

For the most part it is working pretty well, but I cracked it (in a similar fashion to Mark in the pic) about half an hour ago. It's okay, cry is done, and we're getting on with dinner and bedtime.
