Jelena, Don't Give Up Your Day Job

Well, this Monday seems to have gotten away from me a bit.  Todd is home today on a "forced" vacation day (loooong story), but has to make it a 'work from home" day... and then I have had a flurry of work activity as well this morning.  I am certainly not complaining, but having mentally prepared myself for a serious slowdown for my business, it has been a bit disconcerting to have a bunch of things to work on, plus some threats of future work.  Not out of the proverbial wood yet, but maybe things won't be as bad as feared... but who knows!

Also, I am tried a new recipe... a peri-peri chicken marinade/sauce this morning (the marinating chicken is currently in the fridge).  We had this insanely good and spicy Portuguese chicken at a chain ("fast casual") restaurant called Nando's while we were in London in May.  While it has always stayed in the back of my mind, a week or so ago Food Network "Rescue Chef" and Brit - Danny Boome - made it (here's a recipe link - fyi I halved it since it was for a TON of chicken)... so I figured it was time for me to give it a try.   If it even half-way approaches our memories of Nando's I will be very pleased.

Anyhow that's been about it for today... so not much "original" material... but while I was posting pictures of my tennis guys - Roger and Rafa - last week, I also did stumble across these pictures of the current (and year-end) #1 women's tennis player in the world Jelena Jankovic from Serbia.

While I didn't inherit the gay fashion gene (I'll be the first to admit I personally have no fashion sense/style), I do feel somewhat qualified to judge others... and the phrase "hot mess" immediately jumped to mind when I saw these pix of Jelena modeling some clothes she designed herself!

Jelena is a bit of a character... and I do kinda sorta enjoy her on some levels, but yeeesh!

Perhaps Jelena should request an unpaid internship at Venus's design company. Then again, that might not help much.
