Jello Legs

So today was an adventure, and it left me exhausted! Two of my favorite Ladies here on the island, took me up Koko Head. Of the 5 years I have lived here I haven't been up this crazy thing. It was crazy, all 1,048 stairs! I had a great time though and burned a total of 1,643 calories. Hmm...if I just walk Koko Head twice a week I'll be skinny in no time! :-) Thanks but my legs hurt so bad right now. I would probably do it again if I had to or if someone forced me up. The views are great and I wish I had taken more pictures of us going up and going down. All in all it was a good day!!


<---me, laura, and rachel at the top! This was their second time and my first time. Made it in 52 mins. Not sure if thats good or bad but hey, I made it!

Thanks to Laura for taking the great pictures! :-)

Magical

There are so many things I want to talk about tonight. I have been trying to keep memory of them all throughout the day, here we go....

Washing the couch cushion covers are a once a month ordeal in the Bruno household. These things are a 'you know what' to put back on. Well I get the cushions washed yesterday and finally put them back on today, because I dread doing it, it usually takes a day or two to get them on. Well tonight after Nicole's bath I let her hang out naked. Guess what happens next....yup, she pees on my freshly washed couch cushions. Uggggghhh!!! And it's not just on one, she was sitting on the crack of two cushions so it got on two and leaked down to the actual couch itself. Here we go again!!! I hate washing these things!

So happy my friend is here visiting for a couple weeks, glad she has family here because there is no where for her to sleep in my house. :-) I went to walmart and Honolulu Craft Supply and purchased the stuff for her baby shower centerpiece. It's so cute. It's an oversized goblet vase filled with a bunch of baby items. It's also gonna be a game, the guests have to guess how many items are in the vase....not gonna give the answer away but count carefully!! It's not the best picture, but it will do. Glad I finally figured out how to do pictures on here!!

Next Subject: The Army Commissary

Some of you know I have moved away from my beautiful Marine Corps Commissary that my Navy wife friends and I shop at. I dearly miss seeing my favorite bagger Maria, so...

WOW!!!! Tonight Schofield Commissary was crazy. I just went in for some hamburgers and hot dogs. I saw three families of 5, two families of 7 and the family in front of me had 2 sets of twins and a baby and an older son. Holy Moly!!!! Considering the army is always deployed, these people really know how to make use of their time at home ;-)

And about the commissary....we have one group line, we each line up like ducks in, and wait for the magical women from the electronic box at the font of the line tell us which cashier to go to. Well here's a tip, even if the magical lady hasn't called lane 13 and the conveyer belt is empty, go unload your overfilled shopping cart so we can at least save some time and hopefully keep the line from spilling over to the deli section. Thank you thats all!

Tired Eyes

Another day, another dollar. Spent most of the day with my lovely friend Carmen and her beautiful children.

Nicole did not nap today until the ride home at 4:30, and woke up at 6:00 to Mrs. Katie Brooke at the door for dinner. She was not a happy camper. I am pretty sure I could have put her in her bed and she would have slept through the night.

So tonight was taco thursday and KB joined me. Very nice to have an unbiased opinion on all the drama happening in my life. It's great talking about Navy stuff to an Army wife. Although Navy is better ;-) Really missing my husband tonight so it was great to have a friend come over to chat.

There has been quite a few things going on lately that I am not too happy about and I plan on nipping them in the butt this weekend. I won't mention what, but there definitely needs to be some damage control done soon or everything we have been working on will be non existent per the higher up guys.

I am pretty much typing with my eyes closed so I am thinking it's time to turn off the lights. I really need to learn how to put pictures on here and make words into cool links. Can someone comment down below to tell me how!?!?

Ah my toddler just walked in the room. She says she wants to sleep with mommy tonight. I'll let you know how this goes. :)

Old Friends, New Memories

So I got to see some friends today and tonight that I have not seen in a while. They are my "Mature" friends. I mean "mature" in a good way. Well grounded, slightly older than me, responsible, and women who I look up to and aspire to be. One of these is my go to gal for venting and just plain old girl talk. She is pregnant, with her 4th, yes I said 4th! She has been having a lot of morning sickness issues, poor lady. This afternoon I just wanted to do something nice for her, to help her get back in the grove of things. So I did her grocery shopping. Now this is not the first time I have done her grocery shopping, laughing out loud, once when her and her 3 kids were sick with the flu and her husband was deployed I went for her. I think it's fun. I just enjoy helping others, especially my friends. :-)

Now this evening I attended my first "Scentsy" party with my other "mature" gals. It was quite exciting. I purchased a few things and super excited to get them. I will post pictures once I get them here and they are set up! Hey maybe I will host a Lemongrass/Scentsy party?!

So back to the grocery shopping. I went in for milk and yogurt and spend $85! The yogurt was buy 10 get like $1 off or something. Well I picked up 9 yogurts. Dumb me...so the Lady rang up a 10th yogurt and told me to go get another one when we were done with my order. Guess who forgot to go back to the dairy section...yeah me! So basically I got $1 off of 10 yogurts and came home with 9. Next time I will remember, maybe.

So excited today Nicole counted from 1 to 10 in the car. Usually it's 1,2,6,7,8,9,10. Very exciting! Now if I could just get rid of these diapers!

Good Night and Thanks for following!!!
