Task List for Saturday

I passed the girls off on one of Anna's friends for the day, so I could get a few things done. Let's see how I did:

1. Move the fridge into the kitchen (after 18 months, it's about time).

Check

2. Install the bar on the kitchen counter.

Check

3. Go to the storage unit and get the piano.

4. And the other piano.

5. And the big blue chair.

Check, check, and check

6. Hang the "Wall-O-Mirrors" in the bathroom.

Check - well, almost. That's half of them

7. Install the microwave vent hood combo over the range.

Oh, well. I need something to do during the week, right?

You did better than me! All I did all weekend was clean up "puke!" :)

I've spent a little while reviewing your life the last few weeks and trying to figure out how to apologize for not recognizing you as THIS DON at the conference. I had no idea Kara was in the hospital either. Wow, I don't know how you keep up, Don. What a lucky group of girls you have to have you in their life. Way to go on all the projects, I so need to catch up on a few myself. I'm curious, is the hard wood floors part of the environmentally friendly house for Kara? They are beautiful

Dude you're on fire! I can't accomplish that much in 1 month, let alone 1 day. In fact read my post on remodel projects here... Oh! And this funny one here.

Everyone - thanks for the comments. It was quite the day.

Candace and Tristi, I look forward to coming to visit. There is too much work for me to do here. I would have no problem ignoring your jobs at your houses and taking a much-needed nap.

Josi, you can blame it on the beard - I understand. I should have taken more initiative to introduce myself. You always seemed to be quite busy, and there were just so many people to see and talk to that it was hard to catch everyone.

Dustin, I have my days - trust me. It was a good day, though.

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

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

The Liar's Game - Post 500

Here it is - the 500th post here at Fifteen Minutes of Delusion. To celebrate, I'm having a contest. You can find the rules here . Post your guesses on this post. And now, on to the game. 1. My lunch with Michael Dorn. For several years, I was the Utah Wing Leader for Angel Flight West, a charity flying organization that donates flights in private aircraft for people who need medical attention. Each October, the Wing Leaders would get together with the board of directors in Long Beach, California, for a Wing Leader Planning Day. The first year I attended, actor and pilot Michael Dorn was on the board. I didn't recognize him at first, but as soon as he spoke, there was no doubt who he was. Kara and I were big Star Trek fans at the time. Although we didn't have any direct interaction, we sat at the same table during lunch. I was pleased to note that he took the onions off of his sandwich, just like me. 2. My flight with Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. One Christmas Kara and
