Almost Too Relaxed to Blog

Posted on 25 May, 2014 by Tina

Upon my arrival in Honolulu on Wednesday afternoon, I was feeling out of sorts.  With certain things on my mind, it was debatable whether I would be able to even enjoy this vacation.  Seeing my friend when he picked me up at the airport certainly helped.  The nice weather helped, too.  After checking into my … Continue reading »

Eight Days Until Hawaii

Posted on 13 May, 2014 by Tina

A week from tomorrow, I’ll be on my way to Paradise again.  My Australian friend, B. (we met on my last trip there), booked her flight for the exact same days as mine.  Obviously, we’re gonna’ be hanging out.  My cousin and her husband said that we’ll most likely hit up the Mai Tai Bar … Continue reading »

Bonne Anniversaire, Mon Amour!

Posted on 13 April, 2014 by Tina

Today is the birthday of my ex-husband.  Maybe it was coincidence that I ran into one of his French friends this morning that I rarely see.  Since I bear no ill will towards him in the least, let me amuse you with a few memories of him. I miss him waiting for me after work … Continue reading »

Aghi

Posted on 22 January, 2014 by Tina

Aghi is the Italian word for needles.  The reason I was thinking of that word is because I remember having a conversation with an Italian guy and used the word “needles.”  Can’t remember why.  His response was “Oh, like the Chinese food!”  That made me laugh.  He obviously thought I was referring to “noodles.”  I … Continue reading »

Movie Madness

Posted on 19 January, 2014 by Tina

On my most recent trip to Hawaii, I’d purchased a gift certificate from AMC Theaters for one of my friends there.  Come to find out, there are NO AMC Theaters in the Hawaiian Islands, only Regal and Consolidated.  I’ve never even heard of Consolidated, but those are the main movie theaters in Hawaii.  Thus, I, … Continue reading »

Calgon,Take Me Away!

Posted on 11 January, 2014 by Tina

Do you remember that commercial?  (If you do, you’re showing your age!)  A long soak in some Calgon bath salts definitely takes me away for a limited amount of time, but certainly never far enough away! With the start of the new year and the knowledge that I have an additional THREE more days of … Continue reading »

Bonne Annee, Buon Anno and Happy New Year!

Posted on 1 January, 2014 by Tina

On New Year’s Day, it seems that everyone reflects on the past year.  Mine was a so-so year.  2013 brought someone back into my life, which was the high point for me.  My travels – Paris, Hawaii (twice), Vietnam and Santa Fe – were all good, but I actually enjoyed the trips to Hawaii the … Continue reading »

Bah! Humbug!

Posted on 12 December, 2013 by Tina

The holiday season has been here for awhile, but my holiday spirit disappeared about 10 years ago.  When I lived in L.A., Christmas was my favorite holiday.  I loved shopping, wrapping the presents, selecting and mailing the cards, decorating the tree, listening to Christmas music and watching other’s open their presents.  The tree had to … Continue reading »

Pau

Posted on 11 December, 2013 by Tina

In Hawaiian, pau means the end or to finish.  My mini Hawaiian vacation is over and I’m back in the land of the pale, so it seems appropriate for this post. Without going into any great detail about the trip, let’s break it down like this. Cons:  My arriving flight was delayed, my plan to take … Continue reading »
