The Boy has a girlfriend and her name is Lisa.

Lisa is 1 year old but she’s older than The Boy. She has red hair and blue eyes. Her dad’s name is Stoodoo. Her favorite color is white. She doesn’t have any pets.

I don’t know where the idea of Lisa came from, but it seems to make him happy.

PostHeaderIcon I Never Could Get The Hang of Thursdays And I’m Blaming The Stupid Cat

I hate being annoyed awake. I hate when the first words out of my mouth in the morning are negative. It just sets the worst tone for the day. I’m blaming the cat.

Stupid cat.

He is a very sweet and patient cat, but he is a very stupid cat.

This morning, right before my alarm was scheduled to go off, the stupid cat started playing with something loud and crunchy. Batting it around the

PostHeaderIcon My Least Favorite Hula

Everyone hula dancer has her own “go-to” dance. Y’know, the one that if asked to dance hula they would say OK I’ll dance “(insert favorite hula dance here).” And, y’know, I’m guessing everyone has a hula they really don’t like to dance.

Last night towards the end of class Kumu pulled out a  makua lua hoʻohiluhilu kula  (my attempt at translating ‘golden oldie’), Papalina Lahilahi. Then we danced

PostHeaderIcon Book Review – Set Phasers on Par-Tay!

The other day The Boy totally needed to get out of the house. He needed a good run. I asked him where he wanted to go. He promptly said “the playground with the train.” At first I was a bit annoyed because we have to drive to ‘the playground with the train,’ and I wanted to walk him down to Ocean Beach and run him there. After grumbling a little bit I said I’d take him there but being that ‘the

PostHeaderIcon 6 weeks in, 9 pounds out

I had my 6 week check in with my health coach.

The first session I didn’t like my health coach. He made to much eye contact. He would just stare at me, not breaking eye contact, and the worst part, not blinking. Oh it drove me crazy. I thought “how could I continue seeing this guy”. Then he would say things to me like “Food is neither good nor bad. It’s the choices we make that are good or

PostHeaderIcon Andrea’s Gift Guide

I’m almost done with my holiday shopping.
For Christmas I have one more task to do for the presents we’re giving my parents and my in-laws. I’m super excited about their present. I think they’ll really like it. Other than that, I just have to wrap a few things and I’m done. I’m excited to see the The Girl and The Boy when they see what Santa brought them.
I have a few birthday presents to take

PostHeaderIcon All Because of the Elevenses – A True, Yet Pointless Story About My Encounter with Mike Rowe

This morning I wasn’t hungry so I didn’t eat the yogurt I brought to work with me to have for breakfast. Later that morning though, I got a little peckish. I pulled my yogurt out of my backpack and had me some Elevenses.
Indulging in this late morning snack, thus staving off my hunger coupled with the project I had to finish before a 1pm meeting, I didn’t get to lunch until a little after 1:30.

PostHeaderIcon The Health Coach – The Re-MILF-ificaiton of Andrea

About a month ago I started seeing a health coach.

It started like this . . . . . I went to the doctor for a reason that has no bearing on this blog post. At my appointment the doctor decided to give me some blood tests. The results of the blood tests indicated that I might benefit from the help of  a health coach.

Oh, who am I kidding? Any of you who know me know that in the last 7 years I
