Aloha

Almost.  The MEGA flight today.  I'm excited and nervous (as I am before every big trip).

Packing went well.  I decided on a last minute return ("cool" jeans I bought that were just too cool for me -- unfinished hem, etc).  Walking back to the car I passed the GAP with a big sale and the perfect 10-hour plane ride outfit in the window.  SOLD.  I was hung up on what to wear on the plane.  I wanted comfortable, BUT nice AND it had to work with my heavy period day, etc.  This fits the bill perfectly.  Made me very happy! (We have no washer in the unit -- weird for a timeshare -- so I need to bring a bunch of clothes.)

I had a hard time falling asleep last night -- not surprised.  Then tons of strange dreams.  I have lots of time to sleep today lol.

Up early for a home lift day.  Quick total body workout.  The rest day was good yesterday -- just walked the dog :)  I'm going to miss that sweet boy.

My nails are happy, happy to be back to my favorite style.  It's more expensive, but you get what you pay for ... and it should last longer.  I guess I'm a fancy girl.  (And I'm now cleaning my own house, so I consider it payment lol.)

My hair is less happy.  I like the shorter length, but the color is still too dark.  It doesn't look lighter at all.  It's brown hair with blonde highlights.  I want blonde hair.  UGH.  Why is it so hard?  Not bleach-blonde -- just regular old blonde.  I'm paying for mousey brown hair.  I took a picture of a girl on TV yesterday who had the look I want.  We'll see for next time.  I was excited for a "new" look and it's a bit of a bummer.

Anyway ...

By tonight (tomorrow EST) I will have views of one of the most beautiful places on earth.  How blessed am I?  My intention for the trip is to RELAX, love the VARIETY, live in the moment, BREATHE in the beauty and LOVE my hubby.  Not a bad way to spend a week.  See you on the return.  Later gators.  Aloha.
