Patriotistm, schmatriotism
I recently received an e-mail talking about the “Eid” (a Muslim holiday) postage stamp and how we Americans should boycott it because apparently ALL Muslims are terrorists. To use such a stamp to mail a letter would be unpatriotic. Hmmmm….. Then what about the Catholics? Should we not boycott stamps with any of the Popes or Madonna & child on it as well? You know because of...

The filler post
A few changes have been happening around here that I’m not ready to share with the general public yet because I haven’t shared it will all of my special people yet (Mom & Dad you already know what it is). Anyway, I’m quite a busy bee with these changes and projects I’m working on and just plain ole trying to get my life in order so I leave you with a filler post. A list...

[Sigh of relief]
I’m not sure that I want to state that I’ll be changing the format of what I do here but some changes will be made. I won’t get too into things but last week made me realize that I was missing out on something. That something is my photography. While editing some old and new photos last week I realized that I had forgotten how much I love to do this - take photos, edit, and...

More smiley factors
First you were in the belly. So it was me plus you in the belly. And things were good. Very good.Then you came out. And it was you and me (plus I still I have the belly). And now you are you (well you’ve always been you but when you’re old enough to read this you’ll know what I mean). So independent. So spirited and focused. I am convinced that you may be as fiery as Max from...

Dating Mission #3 and an update
My 3rd dating mission is to look at what is in front of me. Growing up I’ve always thought about what I’ll be doing in the future or sometimes I would tangle myself on thoughts of my past. Actually, I still do. So my goal is to look at what’s in front of me at this moment and appreciate it instead of coming up with an escape plan or thinking “if only had I...

The Shameless Cheerleader
I’m totally shameless when it comes to something I’m passionate about or just really, really support. Seriously, if I don’t like something I’m not afraid to tell people or quit it. Ask my parents. Ask them how many times I’ve called them to say that I hate a job and am quitting because I don’t believe in their ethics or values or Hawai’i state drivers. ...

Meandering Bohemian Stuff
An old high school crush buddy just did a great post about “The Story of Stuff.” But first let me give you some info on this fella. He is the blog author of “Meandering Bohemian” and at his blog he writes posts about Zen life, minimalist lifestyle, art, politics, etc. Anything and everything about what it takes to be a meandering bohemian. Also, he’ll be the first...

Deal breaker?
Before Tina Fey decided to make, “deal breaker” funny on 30 Rock I had been hearing that term bounced around for quite some time when it comes to dating. Some people’s deal breakers could be that a dude doesn’t wear socks with his sneakers or that a dude wears sucks with his sandals. To me that’s just a fashion faux pas. Last night I was discussing my online dating...

Pushing the date(s)
So Melysa and I came to the consensus that it would be wiser for us to write about our dating…whatevers in November since we’re….sort of lacking in that area right now. I’ll still be giving myself dating missions and if any of you want to send me on one then feel free. Seriously. I dare you to give me an outrageous yet legal “mission/task.”

The Office made me cry.
Apparently when one enters motherhood they turn into a sap I never used to cry during a movie or sappy song. But I was a good crier - I cry when I am really sad or frusturated but never during a film, play, or concert. Well maybe I cried when Dan Boeckner’s sweat got on my face at the Wolf Parade concert in Oslo but those were tears of joy! Yum. I just grossed someone out. Anyway, when I...

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
Again, I’m off for the weekend! Saturday I’ll be doing some things around the house before I drop off the Bambino at Nana Patty’s house so that I may enjoy a day to myself! So you can pretty much bet that I’ll be completing two dating missions in one day - date with myself and Honolulu. Finally, I get to do some prancing around the city like the old days but I’ll...

Dating Mission #2 - Date your city
Though I hate to use Sex and the City as foundation for this step I must because it’s a good one. In season 4 there’s an episode where Sarah Jessica Parker’s character, Carrie Bradshaw, dates her city - New York City. She goes to a movie by herself, tries to visit a museum, and meets a cute fella, even gets rained on in the process. NYC is a great city to date on a regular...

Not alone.
People have their low points, some lower than others - that’s why looney bins were created. I’ve had a few really low points in my life and by low I mean completely selfish metldowns that happened because I wasn’t being honest with myself. Though one meltdown was due to the feeling of complete and utter abandonment. My first horrible meltdown was in a car ride to a friend’s...

Texting is Evil!
Texting is one of the worst things that people do in this world. Seriously, I cannot stand text messages! Ask my old coworkers about my, “Do not text me unless if you’re dying” rule. It’s an insane thing to do in my opinion. I’m an old fashioned pick up the phone and speak kind of gal. The only instance that I do text is when I was going into labor and wanted to...

Our 1st Mama & Bambino day since we moved here...
Guess where we went! The Honolulu Zoo!!! Growing up my dad used to take me to the San Diego Zoo almost every weekend. Or at least it felt like that because we went…A LOT! It’s a huge zoo - you’ve gotta go in trips or else you might miss something. Anyway, when I was thinking of places to go and things to do for our day together I had a hard time justifying to just going to the...

Weekend sign off
This weekend I plan to do some hefty cleaning around the house - that’s Saturday. On Sunday I plan on just having a Bambino & Mama day since we never really get to have those. I’m packing us a small cooler of treats and necessities and hittin’ the road. The decision came from realizing that we spend everyday and weekend with people. We never have a day for just us - to bond...

Dating Mission #1 - Date Thy Self
When I was simply a single gal I used to pride on outings with my best friend, myself. While I lived in Norway I would take off and get lost in the city - it was the best way to discover the little nooks and crannies of a new place. It was also a great way to meet the local people and just dive into the culture. I loved it. During my time in Philadelphia I would take off to a different town in...

This is my 200th post!!!
I thought this was a cute little helmet - perhaps the Bambino could be a Wild Thing? So for my 200th post (I feel like I should have a glass of champagne and a yummy plate of sushi by my side) I am dedicating it to the search for the perfect Halloween costume for the Bambino. Last year since he was basically a newborn I just dressed him up in the beanie (Boo!) and booties (cute Skulls) that his...

October - The stuff you wouldn't want your parents...
Some of you may know that October is not only the month to celebrate the fun dress up holiday of Halloween but also the month where people get to enjoy the “O” factor. Now, I won’t be talking about my sex life this month because I’d like for my parents to continue reading this blog because I’ll still have updates about the Bambino. BUT I will be writing about my...
