35 And Pregnant

Do you think MTV is interested in marketing this t.v. show? 16 and Pregnant is working so well for them...how about a look at the flip side of the coin?! You know, when you are actually old enough to go out with friends but oh, guess what, you are too tired. Why? Because you are 35 and pregnant. For my birthday outing with the gals, it was all I could do not to fall asleep in my risotto! I survived though. Good friends, great presents (pictured above and below), and wonderful food. The night started at Tango (which I usually enjoy more, but the service was VERY slow on Saturday---I'm 35 and pregnant, feed me fast!).
Tango risotto, fresh bread, and a Shirley Temple served in a martini glass...then off to Karaoke (after a weird detour, parking debacle, and realizing I should not follow those who had two glasses of wine at dinner). Bon Jovi, Abba, Vanilla Ice, Sir Mix-a-Lot, and Madonna just to name a few of the choice artists we sang so beautifully to (MTV would be proud).Two hours goes by fast (especially when you are half an hour late). Thirty-five is not so bad after all, but I must admit, I look forward to my next birthday of not being pregnant, where I can indulge in something other than singing badly and Salt-n-Vinegar potato chips...coffee, wine, beer, something!

Mililani Exploration: Kipapa Stream Trail

Image
Learn something new everyday. Today, I learned there is a lovely neighborhood park in walking distance from my house...and a fabulous hiking trail just behind that!  Today we were finally able to go on a hike---without driving (well, sort of...more on that later). We simply geared up, walked out of our house and to a trail we'd never explored before. Adventure Saturday! Today's hike was 2.2 miles (one way) on a partially old paved road, winding around the back woods of Mililani, down to Kipapa Stream, back up to...Costco in Waipio. Say what? We truly had not planned on arriving on the oustskirts of a farm that is directly across from our local Costco. Hiking truly lands you in the most unexpected places.   Along our route we encountered dirt bikers, a small band of pre-teen scooter riders, a couple of farm hands in a truck, a very intimidating junkyard dog, zero other hikers, and a friendly Starbucks Barista.  That's right, after our Saturday surprise hiking adventure, we f

Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail

Lost in Paradise is how I would describe yesterday's beach/forest trail that led us past crabs climbing on rocks, mongoose dashing across the trail, horses around the stables, a lone Pillbox, and finally to an iconic Banyan Tree famous for recurring roles in the television series "Lost" and an appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My mother-in-law was on island visiting for a week, so Marina, Sarah, and I took her on a hiking adventure...followed up by a thirst quenching Bacon Basil Bloody Mary.  I have previously explored trails with my mother-in-law.  We have trekked through mud and mosquitos at Manoa Falls, walked up a windy Makapu'u, huffed up Hau'ula Loop, strolled the North Shore's Waimea Falls and Kahuku Point.  So, this visit was no different.  We found ourselves hiking pals again for two separate trails this trip, the Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail being the best of the two. This trail begins in the far corner of the Turt

Shameless Plug...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?
