VOO DOO DONUTS

Hubs took a man-cation to Portland to see his buddies Matt and Montez. My one request, to please bring me home a donut from the famous Voo Doo Donuts. I've heard about them for ages and have been dying to try one forever! Well, the good hubby that he is, he brought me home three! A plain glazed one, a bacon maple bar, and a Memphis Mafia Bar a.k.a. an apple fritter with chocolate and peanut butter. The maple bacon one was shear heaven, the apple fritter was amazing, and the plain one, I asked him why a plain one? Well, turns out of the three, that was Penny's personal favorite. So alas, like life, it all worked out! The donuts were amaze balls! And Montez said there is even a better donut shop in Portland. Next time I guess! But it will be hard to keep me away from Voo Doo if I go there. It was definitely, one of the best donuts I ever had.
My Yelp Review: I don't live in Portland and have never been inside this place but I heard about the donuts and when hubs went to visit friends last week I asked if he could stop in and bring me home a donut. Well, he brought home a Maple Bacon Bar, a Memphis Mafia Doughnut, and a plain glazed doughnut. He handed me the box and I opened it with excitement to see what he had brought me. I was freaking excited to eat them as they looked wonderful, even after traveling all afternoon on a plane. I took a bite of the Maple Bacon Bar and it was amaze balls!! Then a bite of the Mafia doughnut and it was sooooo good as well. I only had a few more bites because of my darn diabetes but those bites were so worth the spike of sugar that hit my system. Good stuff!

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...

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
