I am alive..I promise! I got back from Yellowstone last Saturday and things have been crazy since.
I had a GREAT trip.. and will post all about it soon. I also have a ton of client photos to post that didn't make it up before Christmas. I am working on one of the famous SHOE BLOGS now... just gathering the photos. We all know how stressful the holidays are and we all know what stress makes us do. Buy Shoes. Maybe boots. Lots of boots. Maybe winter boots. That is all I can say.
Since I was receiving emails about not blogging.. here is an offering of peace. Proof that I really was away.
I will admit.. I went out early and took photos of myself, with the camera on a tripod, in front of the GORGEOUS Tetons. Yes I did. Some people actually LIVE here and see this EVERYDAY. Those people are insanely lucky and a bit spoiled. I brought my coffee out and just sat there and chilled, drinking my morning coffee and listening to my morning music. It was bliss.
I also have on THREE pair of pants here and probably three shirts. I can take the cold, but only because I wear an insane amount of clothing. So don't go all Jessica Simpson on me... its LAYERS... not high-waisted hideous pants!
I will be blogging a lot this week, playing catch up. :)

As every other year, I celebrated the New Year in Hawaii with friends and family. The trip started off in the dark, literally. Just arriving in town, exhausted after a long flight, and already planning my dinner, the town went dark. All of Honolulu was in the dark. We saw lightening which is very rare there, although the electric company will not confirm what was the cause for a 14 hour blackout. Yes FOURTEEN hours. No filet mignon for the girl on the 15th floor. With Obama in town, the city officials were going nuts making sure he was OK. He is a very calm individual, he declined the many offers of generators and just went to bed early, as did all the rest of Honolulu.
I was lucky this trip to have my parents along. The three of us were content sitting on the beach all day, soaking up the sun and doing a lot of nothing!
Last year, Lori, Sids sister, got me a bracelet from her Chinese Jeweler. It was a crystal which was supposed to balance out my fire. I am year of the rabbit, and Frank, the jeweler, each year maps out the forecast for the upcoming Chinese New Year. Last year was bleak, it actually said I needed to sleep a lot and try to battle through. It was no joke, a very difficult year indeed.
You would think this would be a sunnier year for us rabbits.... right? NO! Its worse. The forecast calls for a lot of stress and worry, poor fortunes, and not so good in the relationship category. Well I could SEE THAT COMING! I told Mcgrew, who is also a rabbit, and she says "just give me the good news"... there was silence. "There has to be SOMETHING good". Um...he says to wear a lot of pastels... like pink... to upift the spirits and help with worry. She owns a lot of pink, this was good news.
I have to avoid the west.. it is where all my bad energy is coming from. I must not disrupt the west walls of my house, and I have to add some fire this year. I need fire.. that is what Frank said. A few of my friends may find it hard to believe, he is adding fire to moi!!!!! Being both a water sign in the Chinese zodiac... and our more common zodiac.. ( a July cancer/crab) no wonder I love to swim so much!
I am not sure what Tony Romo is, but even Frank would not be able to help him. FIRE! Dear Tony you need MORE FIRE!!!!! I cant even discuss the game, Frank told me I needed to work on balancing my stress and learn to relax. HA!
The good news is my friends Dawna and Kori who I also have addicted, are going to have a much better year. Dawna can wear brown again, so she can quit lying and calling it mocha, caramel, espresso... etc. Kori is all happy and in love and well its sickening, but good for her. ALL of my other friends who are the same age as me, you know 29, well buy some extra vino and don't go West my friends!!!!!

I hope everyone had a safe and exciting holiday. My new years resolution is to play my banjo more. I am working on scheduling some lessons, and will try to practice everyday. I want to be able to play five songs, really well, by the end of the year. Yee Haw!!!!!!! Here are some New Year photos, ignore the humid..rained on... hair. We got drenched more than once on NYE.
My mom and I. |
| My annual photo with Roy. The best surfing instructor and a great friend!!! The lei I am wearing is pikake. It smells divine and its IMPOSSIBLE to get them this time of year, but Roys mom, Joyce always manages to find me one. I love her! And I love pikake flower leis. |
| Jenna and I at dinner. Having her there made my entire trip! |
| Me, Jenna, Delle. We really entertained ourselves all night. It was great. |
| Delle and I on take seven or eight.. this was definitely after a few vodka sodas. I mean water with lime.. thats all we drank, water and lime! |
| This was a good idea at 2am on the rainy walk back. Seeing how macworld is about to begin and I am PRAYING for new laptops to be announced, it is appropriate. |
| The last night... Jenna and I. Im missing our nightly martinis and water with lime. :) |
