Happy New Year! Do you make a New Year’s Resolution every year? If so, what is it for 2013? Daniel informed me that his resolution is to buy an “island Jeep.” Specifically, a Jeep Wrangler. To this end, in lieu of a fancy New Years night on the town, we went on an eerie excursion … Continue reading

Christmas continued this evening with a trip into downtown Honolulu to the Neal S. Blaisdell Center Concert Hall for a Wicked evening. I have seen this show before, however, it was just as good (if not better) the second time around. Elphaba – the wicked witch – was in exceptional form tonight; I was almost … Continue reading
joy to the world …
… the Lord is come! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Daniel was a good sport about the morning scavenger hunt. In fact, after 50 minutes of looking he still refused clues! Yes, 50 minutes. You can almost taste the sweet satisfaction on dripping from his face as he peers affectionately at … Continue reading
lime pie sunday
I can’t believe I was going to forget! My dad texted me this morning letting me know that ‘Lime Pie Sunday’ had already commenced back home – turns out their world doesn’t just cease to exist when I’m not around. Weird. I must say I’ve been getting a little homesick watching Facebook flash pictures of … Continue reading
The Endless Leftovers.
We kicked off the day in full holiday spirit. Can you tell? That’s my elfin husband doing some online birthday shopping. For some reason, he reminded us of Hermey, the misfit elf that wanted to be a dentist, from Rudolf. Not sure why since Daniel doesn’t have blonde hair and Hermey doesn’t have glasses. Must … Continue reading
Blessed Holiday!

Okay, this time it was just the two of us out enjoying a couple laps around the hood, but we kept a respectable pace as if we were actual bibbed runners. After all the hype leading up … Continue reading
Thanksgiving Eve
Happy Thanksgiving Eve! It’s been quite a busy couple days – I wasn’t able to post anything yesterday because we forgot to pay the internet bill so, yeah, no internet. I swear we’re responsible adults. I suppose I could’ve posted from my phone over some 4Gs, but truthfully, I was tired and not that upset … Continue reading
Secret Recipe & Secret Wars
I stuck to aformentioned the game-plan today and made four loaves of my late Grandmother Harriet’s hand-me-down pumpkin bread. Sorry, I can’t give out the recipe because she would definitely find out. In fact, I’m sure she’s been watching me all day just to make sure I kept her secrets close to home. I am … Continue reading
Stocking Up
Today marks the start of Thanksgiving week. This year, on our first wedded Thanksgiving, Daniel and I are hosting his parents. We are so excited about their first visit to our (rental) home in Arizona! My biggest contribution to Thanksgiving meals in the past has been finishing off the left-over green beans and pumpkin bread. … Continue reading
Saturday Rewind
Where did yesterday go?! I’m rewinding through the day’s events. It was midnight when I wrote this but my internet was being dumb so couldn’t upload it till this morning (Sunday). Anyway, Daniel and I were relaxing with episode after episode of House Hunters and House Hunters International. We had just returned from an evening … Continue reading
