Wednesday Morning

Well, things are starting to wrap up here. TODAY, I have to ship stuff back to Oklahoma so that it’s there when I get back. It’s amazing how much stuff I’ve amassed. I think I will be buying boxes at the UPS store around the corner. Yesterday, we had two fascinating speakers in class. The…

Monday Afternoon

OK, so at least I started out blogging with the best intentions. I haven’t kept up with this as well as I hoped it would. Every time I turn around, there is something else going on, something new to learn, someone saying we have to go try this restaraunt or see that show. Last Friday…

sunday morning

Actually, Sunday afternoon. I just walked over to Trader Joe’s, a grocery store with a Hawaiian theme. Everything is “Joe’s” brand, from produce to meat and dairy, and it’s all healthy, organic food. I picked up some almond butter (like peanut butter, but better for you), a loaf of high fiber bread, and some low…
