I am Grateful for…

02 Dec

316. Having the opportunity to see the Na Pali Coast.

317. Staying in the forest in Kauai (pictures to come).

318. Common Grounds in Kauai- with the best vegan breakfast burrito in Hawaii.

319. Four consecutive days to spend with my friend in paradise (deluxe… as opposed to regular paradise).

320. Thanksgiving dinner: a loaf of french bread with Tofurkey slices (sammiches), a 20oz Blue Moon to split, and some crackers with hummus. All, while sitting on Kapa’a beach (beautiful and quiet), watching the crabs dig their holes and the big waves break.

321. A new and challenging career opportunity.

322. A bright, busy office with bright, busy people.

323. Working walking distance from home.

324. Working seven blocks away from Shad so we can walk to and from work together.

325. Buying a good car from a trustworthy person so we have no excuse to not go exploring.

326. My sister coming to visit in one week for one month.

327. Spending some serious quality time with my sister.

328. Every little thing working out. (I’m sure some things don’t, but I can’t seem to remember what they are.)

329. Friends that continue to make an effort to hang out, even when I slack on being outgoing and friendly (I eventually return the effort), but I really appreciate you pushing me.

330. Finally buying a futon. Futons are awesome.

331. A two bedroom apartment. Two bedroom apartments are awesome.

332. The monk seal that we saw swimming on the south shore of Kauai.

333. Our new plant- she is seriously happy here.

334. Owning snorkel gear.

335. The successful SharePoint team I left behind at the last job. I’m seriously excited that they’re excited about SharePoint.

336. The fact that the car we bought was driven to us for a showing… it was incredibly nice of them.

337. Kindness, in general.

 

Monkeys Making Faces

11 Nov

I’m working on my new decorative painting project. The subject matter is based on a direct request from Shad, who demonstrated the poses that he would like the monkey’s to be in.

Mind you, this is still a work in progress. I will try my best to make these a masterpiece.

Update on my Decorative Art Project

09 Oct

I threw it out. It was terrible.

Instead, I bought these 2 canvases. Although they’re blank, I’ve once again jumped the gun and hung them on the hooks. It will help us (Shad is part of the brainstorming process) visualize what their subject matter should be. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.

Art Update

11 Sep

I bought 3 acrylic paints that were on sale for $0.79 each and a paintbrush for $1.66. My current investment in this project is $4.03 plus tax.

It’s not too exciting yet, but I want to show lots of progress shots… I feel like it will be cool. Last update here.

Update #4

These were the only colors available for $0.79, but I think it worked out okay so far.

Downright Fancy

30 Aug

I mentioned that we were civilized a while back…. no more eating on the floor for these cats!

I forgot to mention that we have crossed the line into fancy territory. First of all, we bought a rug and I stained our dining table…

We also got matching rugs for the office…

Movin’ on Up

04 Aug

We’re civilized now.

Shad and I are the proud new owners of a table, chairs, and two desk sets. FYI, for your imminent move to Hawaii, City Mill is the place to go for inexpensive, yet decent furniture (Thanks for the tip, Rick!).
