I’m not feeling as awful this morning as I usually am, lol. Don’t know why, but I’m feeling fresh and ready to take on the world! So let’s do this; Bring it on, Monday!
Last Week’s Highlights
- Played Mixplate Monday
- Lost my love for jump roping. Seriously, guys, it’s HARD! Definitely not as fun and easy as I remembered it was when I was a kid, lol!
- Shared my favorite Martin Luther King Jr. quote in honor of the celebration of his birthday.
- Got in some really good workouts, despite being scolded, twice, for not exactly following YMCA rules haha.
- Went on a photo walk near Cartwright Field
- Tried Sweet Home Cafe for the first time. Khrystyne and I got the tofu broth (delicious) and tons of veggies. And lobster balls, of course.
- Blacked out my site as a part of the SOPA & PIPA strike
- Realized exactly how expensive eating and shopping organic is. Trader Joe’s will probably never open in Hawai`i, let’s keep it real, so I better get used to spending my paycheck at Whole Foods :(
Weekend Happenings
- Got stuck in some of th worst traffic in ages! It took me a half hour to get from Kahala to Makiki, and the freeway was backed up to before the Kapi`olani cut off.
- Watched two rounds of fights: UFC on FX 1 and ProElite Da Spyder vs. Minowaman.
- Dinner at Tanaka Saimin (no sweet potato haupia pie, boo) and Haywire at Dole with Joelle & Jayson and Matt.
- Shared some links to love.
- Went into the office for a few hours. It sucked, but it’s better than giving myself an ulcer stressing out and feeling overwhelmed.
- Walked around the swap meet with my mom and brother. Got some poke with opihi!, li hing mui mango and banana bread. Ooohh, and got some new soaps to try. They’re natural, vegan, mostly organic, and made in Hawai`i! They smell great and I can’t wait to try ‘em.
On the Agenda
- Trying a few new smoothie recipes; I still love my acai, but I gotta change it up every once in a while!
- A lot of scanning at the office (I’m going to try to go as paper-less as possible this year!)
- Another photo walk; Hopefuly I have the time!
As of Today
- Trying bikram yoga. Pray for me, please!
- Drinking lots of water (see above).
- Loving the Drop7 app for my iPhone; Been playing it a lot again lately.

OH, I hate jump roping too, so don’t feel bad for giving up! I don’t blame you at all.
I love Home Sweet Home, when there is no line outside!
How was the ProElite fights? Good? No good?
How was Haywire? I’m thinking about going, but fellow movie bloggers told me that I should just wait for the DVD.
Good luck at Yoga! I know you can do it. I believe in you.

Lol! I don’t wanna hate it ’cause it’s such a good work out! I’ll still try to do it once or twice a week. The PE fights were ok. Nothing that exciting, and I didn’t see anyone in Minowaman speedos! Haywire was good — not great, but good. And long. And thanks about the yoga! Had to reschedule for tomorrow, so we’ll see how it goes!
That sucks that you don’t have many options with regards to stores in HI. However, you get to live on a gorgeous island, so I think it evens out ;o) And good luck on the yoga! I gave it a good try a few years ago, but didn’t follow through. It’s much, much harder than it looks!!

I suppose ;) I do have SO much to be thankful for here! And thanks! Had to reschedule the bikram yoga for tomorrow, so we’ll see if I survive, lol!
