Sick and .....

okay so there is this funny little blog called Mama's Loosin It!  (I have only read a post or two so read at your own risk) and about a year back she challenged a writer's workshop called Just Plain Sick of It: list ten things you are just plain sick of.  It made me smile so I thought I would take it up myself, except I am going to make them individual posts so you won't be so overwhelmed with negativity!  THEN I am going to do just the opposite and be thankful! 

I, Heather Smith am just plain sick of:

1. Procrastination.  It's killin us over here, man.  I mean we are all doin it.  Haley is askin me when her next break will be every 15 minutes or so, Nolan is puttin off his EMT liscensure issues, Frank is so busy that if he takes a minute to procrastinate he falls asleep and I well, that laundry room is driving me nuts.  I truly hate to iron and so it stacks and stacks and stacks in the laundry room where I "hide" it from myself and the rest of the world.  But I know it's there.  Cathi knows it's there, because I showed it to her on Saturday.  Frank knows it's there because he doesn't have any clean shirts hanging in his closet. And now, I am procrastinating some more by writing about it instead of doing it! All on Flylady's Anti-procrastination day. Oh and to top it all off, Haley came down here and asked if she could have 10 more minutes on her break. oh the irony.

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...
