Grounded?!?!

We had a staff meeting today and before it began we did this icebreaker (I love those things BTW). One of our co-workers wrote down positive attributes and we each had to pick one and then say who had that attribute. Some of them were pretty cool: inspiring, cheerful, dazzling, vivacious, joyful, tenacious, stuff like [...]

Seporah’s Got Groove

So we were all in the car listening to Dave Matthew’s Band. I was getting a little bored and decided to switch the CD over to Hoobastank. In between CDs the radio played for about 2 seconds Katy Perry’s “Hot ‘N Cold.” Seporah immediately said “Dance!” and started movin’ to her own groove. Then the [...]

Another year, another GAR

So it was the Great Aloha Run time of the year again.  Something was different this year though… We took our kids!  We knew it would take a lot of energy what with getting our kids up at 4 am and running 8 miles and all, so we started them off with a good breakfast. [...]

The Legend of the Seeker

I have a confession to make…
I am addicted to a C-rated television show (No our television does not get television stations, not one, not PBS, not FOX, nor NBC, nothing. However, Steven sometimes gets these shows through the internet).
Anyways, the show is called The Legend of the Seeker. It’s based off the book [...]

I’m Actually Quite Blond Underneath These Roots

I haven’t been sleeping well lately. Too stressed to unwind the tight screw I’ve screwed. I realized yesterday from [everyone else’s] laughing that it had caught up with me at work:
You can see the TV in the playroom from the nurse’s station. It was 6am and there was this exercise thing playing on Discovery [...]

In Her Shoes

This post was going to have a quote from the book In Her Shoes by Jennifer Weiner. However, I can’t find my copy anywhere for the direct quote, so “Let me Explain. No no, there is too much. Let me sum up” (5 points for the person who can name that quote). Anyways, in the [...]

Crap.

There is now only one theater on the island that plays Twilight and it’s WAY downtown. This is an issue. The movie doesn’t come out to DVD until March 21st. How exactly am I going to make it 4 whole weeks without watching it.

Maybe She Just Wanted the Colors?

Before I go into the story, you must understand Seporah literally sat on the potty at least once a day for 10 months before she even peed in it once. I had no idea how to make her understand that pee went in the potty. I showed her when I peed, I talked about the [...]

Salmon patties anyone?

Yeah, about every two months I make salmon patties, convinced that this time everyone will like them. Märia has never liked them, and the girls go back and forth on them. Neither ate theirs today. So yeah, there are a bunch of extra salmon patties here if you guys want some. [...]
