We just had a baby!!! No, not the human variety, but a soft, cuddly, doggy that we adopted Sunday at the HI Humane Society. His name is Attikus and he's about 4 years old, very rambunctious, and extremely well-mannered. The only little thing we're going to have to watch out for is how my other furry baby- my kitty Julius- will respond. So far, ( Read more... )

Taylor has once again left me on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to go jet setting around the globe for work. This time she has found herself in Washington D.C. With colleagues from all over the US. Everyone decided to get together for a large social gathering and I think that Taylor and I are not the only two kinky people that hate ( Read more... )

There is a rather large Asian influence here on Oahu. On December 31 I got to witness first hand what a Hawaii New Year is like, fireworks from before dusk to about 2 in the morning. Last Saturday was the Chinese New Year and is evidently quite a fun time down in Chinatown. Co-workers were encouraging me to go down for the festivities, but with ( Read more... )

Taylor and I have been BUSY! The new job has been taking up 10-13 hours a day as I create a new job out of nothing. Plus the house is in chaos as our new kitchen cabinets arrived last week and I still have not even begun to demo the old kitchen. Soon, very soon the condo will be ready for guests we promise. In the meantime yesterday Taylor and I ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday Erin! I hope you have a wonderful day and I miss you! Take care and hope to talk to you soon! lots of kisses from Hawaii!

Many months ago I shipped my belongings from Seattle to Hawaii. The problem was that one of my parcels was not allowed on the plane. I have been asking my family to pick up the package from the shippers for the last couple months and I keep getting excuses. Is there any of my friends in Seattle, or friends of friends that would be willing to pick ( Read more... )

I’ve been telling myself over and over for the last several months that I was going to donate to the NCSF. Of course until the house sold I had two mortgages and the wallet was a little too thin. Then I picked up a card a few weeks back for medical testing at the hospital here in Honolulu. They were trying to determine the effects of dementia ( Read more... )

I know I am not one to post here...it's usually Shay, but I have to say I feel inspired....just look at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9837151/ for a bit of morning inspiration! Harriet Miers withdrew her supreme court nomination Wednesday night! Of course, this doesn't exlude shrub ( Read more... )

The house closed, the check came in the mail yesterday and now it is in my bank waiting to clear. There are just a couple more people/lines of credit to pay off, but I'm technically debt free. (Just don't pay attention to the mortgage Taylor and I now share in paradise). I can't wait to see how turned on Taylor is tonight when she finds out she is ( Read more... )

About two weeks ago Taylor and I went for a hike on the island. I took pictures and it took me two weeks to find the stupid cable thing to finally download them on to the computer. Oahu has two major mountain ranges on the island. We went hiking on the old Pali Highway which once served as the only way natives of the island could transport goods ( Read more... )
