My week in review...

Buying...

Velvetspun yarn in Carnation to knit back-up bunnies for my niece. I knitted her a bunny blanket buddy when she was born and she carries it everywhere with her. I’m knitting two extra bunnies for her just in case something happens to the original.

Eating...

Blue crab cakes with grilled asparagus and lemon-caper spaghettini from California Pizza Kitchen.

Reading...

The Fortune Cookie Chronicles by Jennifer 8. Lee. Reading this book is making me crave Chinese food!

Watching...

Greek on ABC Family. This show has the best one-liners and references to pop culture.

My week in review...

Buying...

A privacy filter for my laptop screen so that the people in the aisle next to me on the airplane can’t see what I am viewing on my laptop. That way I can pretend to be a secret agent spy!

Eating...

Li hing mui shave ice topped with condensed milk from Waiola Shave Ice II in Kapahulu. Nothing is better on a hot day to cool you off!

Reading...

Picked up a copy of Coastal Living magazine at the airport newspaper stand to flip through on the plane and maybe get some decorating inspiration for our home.

My week in review...

Buying...

Hula Girl Coffee in Vanilla Macadamia Nut and Chocolate Macadamia Nut flavors to take back to Seattle as omiyage.

Eating...

Zippy’s Chili with rice, cheese, and onions. I have to eat this at least once when I come home to Hawaii. The frozen version that they sell in the stores on the mainland is just not the same. Image courtesy of zippys.com.

Reading...

The Honolulu Advertiser in hard copy format rather than online, which is usually how I read this newspaper. I wish it was more economical to have this newspaper delivered to me daily in Seattle.

Watching...

Vintage episodes of Soko ga Shiritai on KIKU-TV. My husband loves this show. I wonder if anyone sells DVDs of past episodes? I would love to have DVDs of this show to watch back in Seattle.

My week in review...

Buying...

A new HP laptop... seriously, I didn’t need a new one... especially since we just bought a new desktop computer, but I just had to have one. No more electronics shopping for me for a while... I am turning into such as gadget geek! Image courtesy of hp.com.

Eating...

Chicken Marsala and Mushrooms at the Cheesecake Factory... Yum!

Reading...

Clay Art for All Seasons. I have wanted to take classes at the DECO Clay Art Academy in Honolulu for a while... and now even more so, since my Mom sent me this book to drool over. I am hoping to stop by and take a class while I am on vacation in Hawaii this month. Image courtesy of decoclay.com.

Watching...

Watching As The World Turns every day after work is definitely one of my guiltiest pleasures. I have watched this show ever since I was a little girl because my Mom is also addicted to this long-running soap opera. I have literally grown up watching this show! Image courtesy of cbs.com.
