Day in the Life

Thanks for the idea, Cathi.
On Wednesdays, we get ready to dive into our day at about 6:00am. But if your name was Frank, this morning began a lot earlier than that with a coughing fit. He was out the door by about 5:30am.

Nolan is really off and running without any help from Mom. But Haley needs a little nudging around 6:30 so she has the maximum amount of time to dawdle through her morning. Her routine includes feeding her rabbit, herself, dressing and practicing a bit on the piano.

At 7:15 Sammy arrives and we set him up to watch a video. At 8:00am I take Haley and Sammy to school and get ready to start my fun. Housecleaning! Although I do manage to throw a few fun things in too!

At 2:30 I pick Haley up with a snack and we had directly to her piano lesson. Next we hit the pool for a six week waterpolo clinic from 4-5:30. Haley comes home with Nolan from the pool and grabs a quick bite. She runs a brush through her hair throws off the wet suit and heads out the door with Dad or Mom to the church. She is dropped off at 6:00 for choir and Missionettes and is not picked up until 8:30. (Although it is possible that she won't make it to church tonight. When I picked her up today, I discovered she was loosing her voice).

Nolan grabs his bite and heads off to Mock Trial practice or volunteering at Congressman Denham's office.

Frank usually heads back to the office and I run some errands or have some quite time.

As soon as we're home we have a little snack and hit the hay. It's a busy day but I like to have all the runaround on one day. The key is to remember it's all negotiable!

A Super Bowl Love Story

In late August 1996, I attended a bridal shower tea for my sister in law to be, Melanie Hull.  Her Aunt Shirley had created a beautiful party out on the back lawn, flowers and china and everyone in girly dresses. But most lovely of all was Melanie. I fell in love with her dress. It was my dream dress. Floral print. Georgette. Flowy. Bell/Cape Sleeve. Tea Length. Perfect Tea dress. I “pinned” it in my mind. That’s what we had to do back then. I knew that if I ever married – and hopefully that dashing Frank – that was the dress I wanted for my bridesmaids.  Furthermore… I had always hoped that if I could, I would provide the dresses for my bridesmaids. I had been in a couple of weddings and the expense was always difficult. It seemed like kind of a boobie prize to me. Hey, my dearest friends in the world, please be in my wedding so I can shove you over the precipice and into debt. Oh and make sure you check out my bridal registry! In January 1997, I was pretty h...

Weekend Treasure

  Here are some stock photos of the love seat, chair and ottoman we purchased on Saturday at the auction.  These pictures don't really do the set justice.  But we have determined that the retail price for these now discontinued pieces was $1899.  We topped out our auction at $500.00, so after sales tax and the 15% auction fee, we did pretty well.. paying approximately 1/3 of retail. As an added bonus, they were sold to us as "durahide" which means fake.  Frank and I used to say that Nogahide should have been named NOTaHide.  But after looking them up, they are 60% leather.. the parts that don't matter -the back, are not.  BONUS!  They are now all safely home and put away... where you say?  Where could you possibly have put all these lovely pieces of furniture? Oh, I forgot to mention that they are for the cabin.  The hope is that mice will be thoroughly repelled by the very idea of gnawing on cowhide.  And besides that, they ...

The Fourth

The Fourth didn't feel much like the Fourth here in Hawaii.  We were very surprised!  New Years Eve is a huge time of fireworks all around the beaches and everywhere you go.  But the Fourth, not so much.  We could have gone to one of three large fireworks shows on the islands, but we didn't feel like fighting traffic and people.  We opted for a drive around the island to explore new sights and places.  We drove through Hale'iwa town and investigated some kayaking rental places for later in the week.  We headed on up the island and around to the Turtle Bay area.  Years ago, my folks were blessed to be able to use a condo over in this area and always came home talking about the shrimp trucks.  If you know, or knew my folks, you probably know they aren't really "taco truck" sort of people.  However, we stopped at fumi's and picked up 2 pounds of fresh uncooked shrimp.  Never frozen, people! Heads, tentacles, and eyeballs still i...
