Beautiful Morning

Good Morning! Its a BEAUTIFUL Hawaiian morning, I hope it is beautiful wherever you are, and if not then find the beauty in it!!

Today Zade's cousin Emily and her BF Joe are coming to HAWAII! Awesomeness! AND!!!!! Zade comes home tomorrow! Thank goodness, it gets pretty quiet around here without him! Ruby keeps me busy though :) Been enjoying the quiet time to myself a little bit but am SO very glad for him to be home with me!!
Its been rather hot in Hawaii lately, its only 8am and I am sure it is high 70s or 80s already - good thing I got that run in early this morning (and it was still hot!).

Mostly I have been occupying my time with exercise and homework - lots of papers this weekend! I am so excited for the day I have no papers to write (it seems like it will never be here!) I somehow always manage to wait until the last minute to write them (some things never change!).
Short post today...got lots to do to get ready for visitors!! :)

Aloha!

Fell for it!

I CAN'T believe it...I fell for another one of his April Fool's jokes AGAIN...and this time from many many miles away! So I woke up in the middle of the night and read my email on my phone...had an email from Dad (not unusual - he wakes up way before the sun)...BUT he informed the entire family in the email that his mother would be getting MARRIED - whaaaaat? I couldn't even sleep, just wondering about it...since he said he couldn't get any details out of her about who he was/the wedding...OMG I didn't realize it until the moment I was getting out of bed at 7:30 - DUH!!!! April Fools...I mean, he got everyone good! Sheesh!

So I just spent a few hours running around town to various Asian grocery stores (NOT my favorite) looking for Tamarind, trying to make Pad Thai tonight...not able to find the Tamarind but good news is, I think I can whip up something similar that might just work for the Thai food. I have made coconut curry chicken before but this seems quite a bit more challenging...will have to let you know how it turned out!

Nothing too much of interest other than that today...better get started on the recipe though, I am the SLOWEST cook ever (I read and re read the ingredients and the measurements like 400 times before I mix them), at this rate...we should be sitting down to eat around nine or so...NO FOOLIN!
