Darn....my plans were spoiled due to the non-tsunami

Well, the day is almost over. Bummers.  I had a great day planned but had to cancel everything because of a potential tsunami.  I understand that caution and being prepared is the smartest thing to do.  But I can still be sad, right?

What was my big day going to look like?  Here are the highlights:
1. Get up early, go to the store to buy food to make sandwiches.
2. Get my hair cut and colored - (an appointment made 5 weeks ago and is really, really needed)
3. Meet my friends Chris and Emilei and go to Allison's house to give a class on doTerra Essential Oils
4. Have lunch with co workers from PACT & have a class on the oils
5. Laugh and laugh and laugh with all my friends.....oh and enjoy the view from Allison's house
6. Joe was going to take my car for a safety check and oil change
7. Relax and enjoy Saturday night with Joe

It might not sound like much but just being with my girl friends is always a fun experience waiting to happen.  My friend Chris leaves Tuesday night to fly back to Utah.  I can reschedule the essential oils class.  But I will never know the fun I missed out on with PACT friends.  **sigh***

So now I am writing this post and looking forward to seeing the 2nd to last night of the Olympics.

If you are reading this and can understand, then drop me a note.

If you want to host a class on doTerra Essential Oils, let me know and I'm there.  I will have another post soon on my road trip to these oils!!  It's been fast and furious and I don't want to get off this roller coaster ride!!

See you soon,

Stephanie

Baking Bread

If you are passing through or staying awhile to read, check out an article about my friend, Kathy Summers.  She bakes wonderful bread, and for those of you who are LDS, she makes the Sacrament bread for Kailua 1st Ward.  Click on  Island Life at the top of the page, when you get to the Honolulu Advertiser.  Scroll down and to your left, is a picture of bread.  Read and enjoy!

Aloha,

Stephanie

~ ~ ~ Just some observations ~ ~ ~

A simple list of some things I have been thinking about:

• I really don't like twangy guitar music
• If either Cobbie Caillat or Taylor Swift tried out for American Idol, they wouldn't make the top 24
• Even after 50 + years, I wish I had straight hair...and blonde!
• If I had to live on one type of food for the rest of my life, it would be Mexican food
• I like eating out
• Forget kids, just bring on the grandkids
• I like the music from the 80s...
• If sleeping were an Olympic sport, I would have several gold medals in my collection
• When I have stamps, scotch tape and a pair of scissors in my purse, I feel empowered

Ok...that's all for now. I'm certain I will have more observations at a later date.  Come by and check it out!

Aloha,

Stephanie

ANOTHER WINNER~~

Congratulations to Kathryn Morgan, who solved the mystery of my picture.  I took this picture while in the car wash.  I saw my camera on the seat next to me, and just had to take a picture to see what it would look like.  Thanks for taking my Quiz and a new one will be posted shortly.  I just have to think of one...:(:( 

Aloha,

Pairs Skating

Wow...all I can say is wow!!

I love the Olympics!

I am watching the Olympics and love it!  I love the downhill skiing and of course, the figure skating.  But there is so much more to the Olympics than these two sports. I love the scenery of the host city.  I love to hear stories of underdogs who make it to the games, even though they probably won't win a medal.  I love the medal ceremonies. Oh heck, I love it all.


The first Olympics I remember watching was the Summer Games in Mexico City.  The year, 1968.  There was a lot
of controversy but as a naive young girl, it didn't phase me.  What I do remember vividly, was the closing ceremonies.  I just Googled the Mexico Olympics and when scrolling down on the bulleted highlights, this is what I found:

• It was the first games where the closing ceremony was transmitted in color to all the world.

No wonder I liked it!!  It was in color.  My memory doesn't serve me well here.  I don't think I watched it on a color TV, but I don't remember.  That was many, many, and ok, still, many years ago.  But watching the Olympics back in 1968 solidified my love for the games that will last as long as my life.  

So, enjoy watching the Olympics while it's on.  All of us have color TV, and some even have HD.  I don't know if the broadcast is in HD, but it doesn't matter.  Color rocks!!  hahaha...I'm laughing at myself!!

Another hint!
