All Gone!

Yesterday, marked the first day of our kitchen remodel. Gone are the 3 small rooms that spilled together to form our kitchen/washer/dryer/buffet/dining area. Our contractor said he works fast but I had no idea he could completely rip apart cabinets, and tear down walls in one day! I told the foreman last night that I just couldn't believe all the work they had done! Besides firming up our design and buying all of our new appliances, we have picked out our cabinet style (white shaker) and a grey-black floor tile. Today is electrical day. So all of our lights and outlets will be installed when we go home tonight. While they are there we are having them install two recessed lights in our living room to shine on the Hawaii bamboo forrest picture. It's very exciting to see our home change once again, as I believe this is now the second remodeling since the house was built in 1939. Here is a picture of what our new kitchen area looks like as of last night. There is so much space I can't hardly believe it!
We have our make shift kitchen set up in our dining room. We did a ton of laundry and made some dishes (probably not as many as we should have). It feels like we are camping out in the living room as that is where we spend all of our time now. The doors to the backyard are cut off so it makes taking Moses out a little difficult but so far its an adventure. An expensive adventure but hey, that is why we work hard in life to enjoy nice things. Hopefully, my nice kitchen is just around the corner!

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

How Was Your Weekend?

Does a Monday morning ever go by without someone asking you how your weekend was? I got to work and was bombarded with the question and this week I didn't have a thing to say. Didn't feel good the whole weekend so we did nothing except managed to go grocery shopping, make a trip to Target and watch several epsiodes of Quantum Leap and Battlestar Gallactica. I found that when you don't have anything to say it's good to have at least a change in your appearance to deflect the pitty looks for not having done anything on your weekend. Luckily, I had a new hair cut and color job so I was able to skip the fact that I didn't have any exciting plans to report. Last week I awoke with that I can't this hair anymore attitude and booked an appointment. I went back to bright blonde as opposed to darker blonde with brown streaks I had for the wedding. It was refreshing to go get your hair done after spending the weekend in pain. Luckily for me, the new hair color must hav...
