This made me laugh today:-)

B-day update
The lottery tickets were a big success:-)
She won a minimal amount on one instant lottery stub and we'll see next week if the other turn over anything (fingers and toes crossed).
No exciting news today. Met a friend for coffee, turned in paperwork at my part-time job (so hopefully I'll have some money next week), registered for a Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English exam in December and had a tutoring session with a 6th grader I work with.
Tomorrow I have a free day, so I'll be relaxing, doing some housework and baking a cake for my Mom's birthday celebration on Saturday (nothing big, just barbecue and cake with family). I also have to make some calls about possible work and a course I'd like to take.
Anyone here do Distance Learning? I might give it a try and would love to hear some first person experiences.
Love, Sofy

No money B-day
Today is my Mom's 52nd birthday:-) Happy B-day Mom!
I'm lucky and have a great Mom, so I want to get her a nice present. The problem is, I'm unemployed and broke. So, how to give someone a present they'll like and enjoy without spending any (or VERY little) money?
I thought about making something myself, but I have few usable skills for that. Then I looked at discounts to see if I could get her some clothes, but remembered in time that she hated the last sweater/shirt combo I got her.
In the end, considering my limited skills and funds, I've decided to get her an array of lottery tickets and bake a cake and cook lunch (stay tuned for the recipes -I expect there will be plenty of those here, since baking is one of the things I do well and like doing). I'll let you know tomorrow how it went and I'll be sure to let you know if we win the lottery:-)

On the road...
As I said, I love traveling. One of my best trips was a two-week cycling trip to The Netherlands I was on 2 years ago. Pics form that memorable experience:

Name
Meet the inspiration behind my blog name:
I had a few names planed and then when I was creating an account none of them seemed to fit. So, I used a tried and tested method of combining my pet's name and my mother's maiden name (which is long and complicated, so I used just the first three letters). Luckily, the result made sense and Lara's jam was born:-)
The beginning
Well, here I am...posting my first ever blog post!
First let me introduce myself:
I'm 27, of the female gender, interested in books, traveling, my family, friends, dog (not necessarily in that order).
I'm NOT a native English speaker (so fell free to correct any and all mistakes you find in my posts), morning person or a long-winded writer.
Oh, and I'm a procrastinator. Yes, I've admitted it, my deep, dark secret. So, I apologize in advance if I slack off on my posts from time to time, but I will make an effort to post something every day (even if it's only a picture or a link I liked).
