Tagged for Four

Nicole tagged me. Let's see what I can come up with...

Four jobs I've had:
  1. Flower shop delivery boy
  2. Tuba player (in a lavalava, no less)
  3. Pineapple picker
  4. Software Engineer
I have pictures of me doing each of these. I'll see if I can track them down.

Four places I've lived:
  1. Omaha, NE
  2. Laie, HI
  3. Austin, TX
  4. Lehi, UT
Four movies I love:
  1. Labyrinth
  2. Forbidden Planet
  3. The Gods Must Be Crazy
  4. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Four movies I'd like to see:
  1. Flyboys
  2. War of the Worlds
  3. Get Smart
  4. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Four favorite foods:
  1. Pizza
  2. Panipopo
  3. Bryers Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream
  4. Gingerbread cookies
Four weird things about me:
  1. I have the Wiggles on my personal playlist. There's a song from a Barbie movie, too.
  2. I regularly sleep in a room that can only be accessed by climbing through the window.
  3. Aloha shirts make up 80% of my wardrobe, even though I've lived on the mainland for 15 years now
  4. All of my shirts have to be lined up in the closet with the buttons on the left.
Four places I'd rather be:
  1. On a cruise with my sweetie
  2. At Disneyland and/or Sea World with my girls
  3. Back in Hawaii
  4. Back in bed
Four people to tag:
This is a tough one. I'm a good lurker, but I don't have many friends with blogs. Nicole just tagged me, and most of the people I've met doing the BIAM have already done this tag. Let's go with:
  1. Charlene
  2. Shirley
  3. Dan
  4. Karralee
OK, Dan and Karra, I know you don't have blogs yet, but maybe this would be a good time to start one. :-)

NOOOOOOOO.... Shirt must be hung up with the button on the RIGHT! What are you thinking? Life is easy if all the light switches turn off pointing down and button to the right. It's the only way.

Sorry. Grab the hangar with the right hand, unbutton with the left, then put it on.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

Besides, this is supposed to be a weird thing, yanno.

Okay, I'm extremely curious about the room that can only be accessed through the window.

And I don't care which way the buttons face -- if the shirt is on the hanger and the shoulder seams are straight, I'm good with life.

Now I want pineapple. I think I have some . . .

It's part of our campaign to be the "Strangest Family In Town."

We have made the master bedroom into a "safe room" which is closed off from the rest of the house. The door is taped shut, and we use the large windows at the back to enter and exit.

We would have put in an outside door (as we had in our Utah house) but the windows have a very low sill, so those work OK.

I think there's a post about it somewhere here...

Canoe-Paddling Polynesian Guys

We have finally hung a picture on the wall here in our house. The fact that this is a blog-worthy event eighteen months after moving in is, I admit, rather pathetic. But it is also very exciting. I finally feel like we are really moving in. Slowly but surely we're picking away at the projects that need to be done, and (for now) avoiding the temptation to take on any new ones. This picture is called Hoe Kama Kani , which means "paddle with the wind." We found this picture at a home show in Honolulu while we were students, and I just fell in love with it. I stood there and stared at the picture for quite some time, but I simply couldn't justify the $140 price. The salesman told us that they had a smaller print available for much less, but they had sold out at the show. We could look at it if we came by the studio the next week. Unfortunately, the little 8x10 just didn't have the same effect as the full size print. So as you can see, we bit the bullet, got the big on

Lyme Disease Awareness: Kara's Story

With May being Lyme Disease Awareness Month, I want to share my “story” in hopes that someone will benefit from it – either by letting you know you are not alone or by helping you or someone you love receive a correct diagnosis. I have divided it into chapters so if you need to take a break, you can easily find where you left off. Truthfully, this is only a small snapshot of what I went through.    Chapter 1: The Beginning Up until 1999, I was an active, busy young woman. I was happily married and had a beautiful daughter and another baby on th e wa y. I loved being a mother. I also liked gardening, enjoyed nature and had fun inventing new recipes in the kitchen. Italian food was my favorite thing to make and, above all, eat! Well, that and sushi.   In December 1998 while I was pregnant with daughter #2, I caught some kind of virus or bacterial infection that was going around which turned into bronchitis. I went on antibiotics for it and afterward, never really felt like “m

Guavalicious Contest Rules

As many of you know, I grew up in Hawaii, in the quaint little village of Laie . Many of you also know that I have been working away at my version of the Great American Novel for the last little while. Due to a bout of homesickness brought on by a cruel Utah winter, my story is set in (surprise) Laie. It was also in Laie that I learned to love the great taste of guava - the same taste I am about to share with a few lucky people in the form of my Guavalicious apple butter. To enter the contest, simply add a comment to this post that completes the following sentence: "A story set in Hawaii simply has to include _____." There are no right or wrong answers. I'm just curious to see what everyone has to say, both "insiders and outsiders". I also think it could be fun to try and use as many of these suggestions as possible. You can make as many as you want, but your name only goes in the hat once. I will add a jar of Guavalicious to the prize pool for every four entr
