Flashback Friday: Hawaiian honeymoon day 4

Our fourth day of honeymoonin’ started like the rest… Beachy keen.  But after soaking up some rays and a few cups of coffee, we headed to the tennis courts for a complimentary hour of professional play horse play.  You see, at this point we were deeply immersed in the US Open…funny how you can get so inspired by seasonal sports.  Sadly, Kim Clijsters’ brilliance doesn’t automatically translate to skill.  At least we were evenly amateur (the first set took up the entire hour because we kept going into tiebreak). Anyways, we returned to the hotel,… Read more >

To gym or not to gym

Thanks to random.org, a winner has been chosen for the Tropical Traditions Gold Label Coconut Oil.  Congrats to Jenna, who said “Happy birthday! I’d use the coconut oil to put on baked sweet potatoes (so good) and in baking!!”  Email me with your address and I’ll be sure the oil gets to you.  I know you’ll put it to good use.  :)  I have another giveaway planned for tomorrow, so set your alarms. As for yesterday, ‘twas another day at orientation… And, thus, another pre-packed lunch… Starting with a salad and leftover pizza. The salad… Read more >

Being an aunt is fun…

Because at the end of the day, you can give the kiddos back to the parents. Alternate title for this post: the four-time-reheated coffee. Seriously.  I don’t think I had two sips in sequence.  It all started bright and early…at 7:30 AM to be exact. We served up breakfast… …but at you can see, the kids were a bit distracted. Ernie has a tendency to do that.  I’d like to say orange skinned puppets aren’t my thing, but they must have some sort of audience… Anyways, once we cleaned up the hash browns, toast, eggs,… Read more >

I can see Canada from my house

It’s true… (Although I’m pretty sure it doesn’t give me much international cred in the political realm…just sayin’) I digress… Since Kyle’s parents live (more or less) on the US/Canada border, we decided to take a day trip up to visit our friends from the North. This beauty, known as Grouse Mountain, is just 15 minutes north of Vancouver, and is open year-round, with Skyrides (seen above) to bring you up the steep 2 mile mountainside overlooking some of the most drop-dead gorgeous views of Vancouver, Washington, and beyond… Seriously, the pictures don’t even do… Read more >

The Wedding and the City

I woke up Saturday morning and went into an immediate panic.  Why you ask?  Two reasons: (1) I drank my way into oblivion the night before my best friends wedding (open bar rehearsal dinner = bad call) and woke up dry heaving; and (2) in my drunken stupor that night, I set my alarm for 8 am PACIFIC time (FYI our limos were supposed to leave the hotel at 9 am EASTERN time).  When it comes to drinking, I’m no spring chicken.  My college days of morning-after rallying are long gone.  So I’m not joking… Read more >
