Okay so maybe I am getting a little too excited about this, but I am accustomed to blogging about stuff that I'm thinking or doing or even sometimes putting things from other sources on the web! Well tonight I was being idle and I googled "leandraluv" and I came across a website that had a blog posting of mine! I was super duper excited to see that and just wanted to share the news with you guys. You can check it out here if you don't believe me!

Have a good night everyone!
Sweet dreams.

Now getting started
Okay so yesterday passed with a blur ... I ended up spending some lazy time in bed, watching tv then reading my romance novel and checking my emails and even doing some 'work' on webanswers. Then my husband came back and was like - how did your work on the TESOL course come along? "What? Are you serious? Nah man Leandra ... I can't believe you didn't do anything all day!" My response, "Oh leave me alone. I promise tomorrow I'll do it" to which I had to hear - "You know how long you promising that?" :-)
Okay so we went out for dinner last night and walked around. Our plan to see Iron Man 2 were foiled so tonight the adventure begins... our first time using the metro in Rio!
This morning I got up, had breakfast with the hubby and then got right down to finishing my romance novel - spoiler alert - the guy gets the girl in the end!
So now I have my 'frango pastels' here to devour for lunch (but what is keeping the cleaning lady?). I don't want to start chomping down on lunch to be disturbed whilst she is making up the bed and cleaning the bathroom! So I decided to blog a little bit and kill some time.... but still no cleaning room service. Come on! It's like 11:39am... doesn't she know that I have work to get done?
Okay so since I promised last night and I already got a mid morning call to find out what I'm doing... I WILL DO an assignment today! I was already threatened jokingly of course - no work - no DINNER!! Now you know I am a gal who loves to eat..so threats like that, I have no choice but to take serious!
Have a great Tuesday people!

Week in Rio de Janeiro
So far for the morning I've read to emails - one from my best friend and the other from a close aunt and both said things along the line of my being a "lucky girl" and "living the life" and those sentiments have me thinking - am I really so lucky? I decided that maybe I should look at the silver lining on the cloud right?
I know I am a lucky girl - I get to travel all over and since I am home I get to do whatever the heck I feel to do. This week in my life I get to spend time in hotel in Rio which means - no cleaning and cooking and no other housework for a week... I CAN'T COMPLAIN. My husband did tell me this morning that he doesn't mind if I was the one going to work every morning and he get's to stay at home ... he swears the apartment would be spotless and I'd get hot meals every day when I get home! I do feel a little bad that every morning he has to go off to work and I'm at home scratching... I asked him if he doesn't want to kill me on a morning when I'm still sleeping...mouth wide open and snoring away whilst he is getting ready for work.. Terrible! I know.. but soon I hope to start doing something productive! Really... I'm being honest :-)
I got up at 6:30am to go have breakfast with my husband who took off to go to work and I wanted to chat with him before he left for the day. Now I am back in the hotel room and I should be geared to start doing some work - I have lots of little things that keep piling up - my TESOL course, my blogging, webanswers and not to mention tons of emails about different things I keep discovering online and I keep labeling the emails all to read later.... I am a great PROCRASTINATOR .. did I ever mention that? I am the #1 at it - not something I should be boasting about I know!
Anyways so here I am listening to music - right now I am loving "Hold Yuh" by Gyptian .. I know right? Hahahaha oh well what can I say? I think I'll check out what's going on television and then I'll get started on my TO DO list. I know some might say - why not go out and explore Rio city? Well I've been here before and I got to visit Ipanema and Copacabana and frankly I am a little scared to venture out into the city by myself one because of my pathetic Portuguese and the other - I am afraid of the crime. I don't want to go get myself in any trouble out there! So I think it's best to stay and tackle some of the 'academic' stuff that I need to get done. Somehow when I was in Paris and Madrid I had no problem venturing out by myself... here I am a little more wary.. maybe it has to do with all the security warnings we got when we arrived in this country!
Well folks,
I am off to go do something productive and I'll keep you guys updated on my 'doings'.
Have a great week people!

Webanswers and GoogleAdsense
Just a little update. Some of you may remember that I started blogging as a means of earning money with Google Adsense, but I've only made like less than $3 with my blog .. but I still continue because I've grown to really like blogging.
Anyways on my quest to earn money through Google Adsense I told you guys about webanswers! Well I joined on January 19th 2010 and guess what.. I am only $0.60 cents away from earning my second hundred! I haven't received a check as yet though but that's because my PIN number didn't arrive until like 3 months after. So I think that webanswers is definitely worth it.. I earn most of my adsense money through that site even though I was on vacation for the entire month of April.. Yay me!!!
So I'll close with that good news for the night.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Easiest Cake Recipe in the World
I have to share this recipe! I got it as an email and I don't know who came up with it or where it originated from so I can't credit the person for sharing this recipe but I still want to share it. It's lunch time here and I just finished eating lunch and started craving something sweet... there was nothing in the kitchen other than sugar and Nesquik chocolate powder that I use to make hot chocolate to drink at night. Then I remembered this email I got a long time ago and I searched my inbox, made the cake and enjoyed it! So here it is. Do enjoy! And thanks to whomever created it!
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE!!
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract and your favourite tipple
1 large coffee mug
Add dry ingredients to your largest mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and mix well. Add the chocolate chips (if using), vanilla extract and a drop or two of your favourite tipple, then mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts (high).
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world? Because now you are only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night! You are going to forward this straight away, aren't you...
Okay so there you go! Do enjoy!
Have a great day.

Dealing with Disappointment
I know life can't always be happy and honky dory. I know that things don't always work out how we want them to and I even know that not everyone is happy ever day of their life but somehow I don't know how to deal with disappointment. Early this year I got a really great offer for something that I wanted to do and then today I found out that now I'm not going to get what I was promised and the terms and conditions of the original offer have drastically changed.
I'm waiting on my husband to come home to get his input into the whole thing and I even emailed my best friend who is living in London at the moment to get her advice but at the end of the day I still can't get this feeling of disappointment to vanish. At times like this I feel to eat a nice slice of chocolate cake or a sinful piece of cheesecake with a glass of delicious Coca-Cola....... and I don't mean Coca-Cola Zero which I am forcing myself to drink (it actually taste good though) as my attempt to not put on the extra calories that is found in just about any and everything on the face of this earth!
So how do you guys deal with disappointment? I think maybe it's time for me to come up with a life plan or something! I am so unsure as to what my future holds! My husband job does not allow for any future plans.. be it in one week time or one year or even five years time! For instance, if we plan a trip.... without any notice and up to the morning when we have to leave for our flight.. there is always the possibility of his company changing our plans! So how are we supposed to plan our future when we don't even know how long we will be here in Brazil or where next we will be? Ooooohh I know I'm taking out my frustrations on my blog but isn't that one of the great things about blogging? Getting to rant and rave about what's on my mind?
Okay so hope you guys are having a better day than I am having.

Happy Mother's Day!
I know I am very late in writing this and this should have been done last night or first thing this morning but I was having such a wonderful rainy Sunday cuddling up with my hubby and watching romantic movies that I neglected to come online and wish all the great mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day!
I hope all of you guys who are lucky to be with their moms on this special day did something (be it a small or grand gesture) to show your mom that you love her. I know not everyone in the world has a good relationship with their moms, some might not even know their moms but remember a mother is not only the person who gave birth to you but someone who played a big part in your upbringing. I know I have lots of aunts who took part in my upbringing and actually the person who played the biggest role in bringing me up was my Uncle ... so I guess you could say he played both a mother and a father role! So Happy Mother's Day to my dear uncle as well who's not answering his phone at them moment :-)
Okay guys back to my lazy wonderful Sunday!
Have a great week this week.

Brazil!!!
Okay guys,
Good morning!! I returned last night after one month of being on vacation (yeah I know - a housewife on vacation - you better believe it!). So on my one month away I did not really do any blogging, webanswers or even assignments for my TESOL course! I know ... I know... what a slacker. Well my first priority today is to actually get this apartment back to a livable state which means I already have a load of clothes washing and now I have to start cleaning.. oh happy day! I wish I knew someone around here who I could hire at least just for today. I much rather unpack my suitcase and see what goodies I bought on my trip but such is life. Also we have to stock up our bare kitchen... so that means grocery shopping.
Well I hope to get back to blogging soon now that I am once more by myself in Brazil. I just need to sort through the 531 emails in my inbox and then I will take it from there. Have a great day today guys.. and drop me a line sometime.
Luv Lee
