Moving on. Life, lately? Busy. And full.
- I have a new favorite breakfast spot. It's a bit of a trek from where we live, but so many variables make the trip well worth it. The view, the ambiance, the food and the generous Kama'aina discount (25%, woot woot!), I'm thinking The Hubs and I need to have brunch in Napili more often!
- See that cup of coffee in that photo? I've officially converted to drinking my coffee black. It's definitely an acquired taste, but I can actually appreciate the flavor. It may have put hair on my chest, but I love me a mean cup of coffee now. And I am totally kidding about the chest hair part.
- Today is one month since I went on an alcohol and sugar fast (hence drinking my coffee black). The alcohol part isn't a problem (even while celebrating a friend's birthday last weekend...at a bar!), but the sugar has been a challenge. I am craving a piece of moist, chocolate cake right now. Or at the very least, a Thin Mint from one of the FOUR, unopened boxes of Girl Scout cookies I bought over a month ago. ::sob::
- The plus side to an alcohol and sugar fast? I'm down 8 pounds. Yay!
- I almost destroyed my laptop and desktop computer yesterday. I spilled an entire cup of hot tea at my desk (I watched with horror as the cup fell over in slow motion...has that ever happened to you?) and was almost too late in scooping the laptop up before the tea found its way into all the crevices. With my dripping laptop in my arms, I watched as a waterfall of tea then dripped down the face of my desktop hard-drive, below. Did I mention I had just bought the tea about five minutes before? Fortunately, both computers are ok, but there is a distinct scent of chai tea at my desk. Fun times.
- Spring is here! That doesn't really change anything for us since we have bright florals and sunshine all year 'round, but I like being able to say that: Spring is here!
- Tax refunds. LOVE.
- Some of you follow me on Instagram and know that I had a pedicure and had my toes painted blue the other day. Just so you know, it looks awful. I don't know what I was thinking. Now I want a pedicure do-over.
Happy Thursday, to you.
grrr, I hate the wrong side of the bed. Hopefully it turned around a bit by now. :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom always said coffee would put hair on my chest...its a sad sad day. *just kidding...maybe.. ;)
Still don't know how you can do the black thing, but more power to you!
I'm all about french tips for the tootsies...saves me from possibly not liking them. But I'm not adventurous either..

Napili Bay has been my front yard since I was a keiki! I'm so glad you guys make the jont to enjoy such an amazing place I've always considered home:)
ReplyDeletei am INTRIGUED by your alcohol-less and sugar-less lifestyle! i am very very impressed. cutting alcohol would be easy for me, since i never drink, but sugar - that's HARD! props to you. :) and congrats.
ReplyDeleteps. love your bullets list.
today i listed some "numbers" about my life these days. sort of similar! :)
Hope your week gets better, Angie! I'm so impressed with your ability to cut out sugar (and drink coffee black - ick!). Yay for losing weight though!
ReplyDeletewow..crazy life. I'm glad someone else is keeping me company in the temporarily stressed out and insane part of life. =P
ReplyDeleteI've had a few of those mornings myself! Hope the rest of your day was better. I think most of us have experienced one of those slow motion accidents with liquid of some kind. However both computers! Wow!
ReplyDeleteI have to say... I admire your ability to drink coffee black. I have tried and tried and failed and failed. But, I think I'm going to try again! Maybe after a few tries, it will stick!
ReplyDeleteAnd I know exaaaaactly what you mean when you say you watched your tea fall over in slow motion. That has happened to me too many times!!
hi angie...first of all i want to thank you for writing such an encouraging email to me, it really brightened up my day. When i was reading this post, the first thing that made me sat up was the thought of your computer dripping in tea...oh mine...must be so horrific. I would be totally devastated. I remembeted my son spilling black ink onto my keyboard and totally ruin it while i was in the midst of rushing out an urgent project. I was in tears ...literally. It's nice knowing you angie and thanks so much for dropping by!

Oooh, I hate when I wake up on the wrong side of the bed...nothing works until it's the next day! Sorry to hear about the computers, but I'm glad they're okay.
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be tough with no sugar - I don't know if I could do it. I think a serious cut back is in order for anyone - including me!
Love reading your blog, congrats on the no alcohol and sugar!
ReplyDeleteI recently stopped adding sugar to my coffee and I have found that a dollop of half & half along with a sprinkling of cinnamon and nutmeg mixes well with the coffee. It also makes it seem a bit sweeter without adding sugar.
