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!
