Mixplate Monday 10.31.11

Happy Halloween! I can’t wait to get off work, go home and dress Hua & Hinano in their kimonos :) My dogs actually kind of hate wearing clothes of any kind, but I hope they cooperate (they probably won’t). But before any of that, here’s a look at what’s been going on around here lately.

Last Week’s Highlights

  • Played the usual Mixplate Monday
  • Got my office addicted to Kuru Kuru Sushi
  • Shared the rest of my California vacation photos; Check out parts 3 and 4
  • Went to the Makiki Farmer’s Market with Bobert, and ate kalua chicken (delicious!)

Weekend Happenings

  • Worked, ugh.
  • Shared my latest favorite links
  • Watched UFC 137 with my family; Sad about BJ’s loss, even more sad about his retirement. Also, after watching the fight and about a million interviews and clips, I now have a strange fascination with Nick Diaz — and I’m very much looking forward to the GSP-Diaz fight.
  • Watched the UFC Primetime special about Junior Dos Cantos and Cain Velasquez. I honestly thought they were fighting yesterday, and may have told that news to many, many people, haha. Whoops! PS: I’m taking Cigano in this fight.
  • Joined Kelsey’s Netflix party; Watched Child’s Play for the first time in ages and The Lost Boys for the first time ever.
  • Dinner with the fam while Uncle Pat was home for a fishing tournament and Uncle Alika had the day to spend with us
  • Caught up on Dexter. Brother Sam, omg :(

On the Agenda

  • Reading at least one book this week
  • Ordering my 2011 planner
  • Get cracking on my Christmas shopping & wrapping
  • Taking a new class at the Y

As of Today

  • Craving an acai smoothie; I didn’t get up early enough to make one this morning
  • Eating chantilly cake; So not what I should be eating haha!
  • Watching Boardwalk Empire; I hate that it’s on at the same time as Dexter, so I have to choose every Sunday!

I wanna know, what were your recent highlights? And what are you up to?

Cheers!
