Project 365 Week 6 Layout




So--Week 6, we're halfway through February, good grief, Mary! Do you remember in elementary school how it seemed like an eternity until Christmas, Easter and Summer vacations arrived? As an adult, I feel like I blink and the week is over.

At least this is a short week, so I'm not hallucinating ;0). Umm, my gastroenterologist (new doctor,  liking him a LOT--email me if you want more info about him) has me on new meds for the stomach issues. It's too early to say if I like it yet. The possible side effects include, trembling of the hands, restless leg syndrome, dry mouth, etc...so far so good. 

We went to the beach today for beach day with the gang, and the weather was chilly, and then it started raining so we packed up and came home. As usual, good friends and good food, so no complaints there.  

Hope y'all had a great Valentine's Day. I was gifted with flowers and other goodies by my wonderful family, and we had dinner at home, shrimp and scallops in garlic cream sauce, which I think I'll recycle somehow into pasta sauce for tomorrow's dinner =0).

Everyone but me is snug in bed, so I'd better get going.

Have a great week!
Hugs,

Project 365 Week 5 Layout




Wow, February already! Time is flying by this year. Whew, it's been a busy week!

Tennis, Hula, Tennis, tennis, tennis. We're getting back into the swing of things for the Spring tennis season. Tay's team will be moving up an age level AND a playing level, so they'll all be playing 14s (3.0). Craig and Guy are coaching, along with the addition of Coach Bruce, who teaches class during the week. We're excited for them. They will have an uphill battle, as at this age level, things are more competitive. 

We also got to see Craig's side of the family--The Hardesty side on Saturday at a baby luau for Rhoda's grandson, Aukai. That was nice, we hardly ever get to see them ;0).

So what are y'all planning for Valentine's Day? We're going to have dinner at home, not sure what yet, Brooke suggested shrimp scampi (or fondue), I'm not in  the mood...but I don't know what I'm in the mood for. Any suggestions? 

Have a good week!

Inauguration Day Layout





I forgot about this layout, and I was so excited about it! The pictures are not mine, but ones I got from the Yahoo picture gallery of the Inauguration. The picture of the cupcakes is mine, as close to the inauguration as I was going to get.

In a way, I wish we were there to see history made, and part of me is super relieved that we weren't there, the size of the crowd would've FREAKED me out, big time!

I LOVE the picture of him doing the shaka, it's great to know that Barack Obama remembers where he's from. I did hear that he did it when the Punahou band arrived, and that was very cool of him to do. I also love that he seems to be such a family man.

I converted my cupcake toppers to fridge magnets, so, if any of you would like a magnet, I have some extra, let me know--I'm saying this to all 4 readers of our blog ;0). Hahahaha--I can still hear Charliz saying to the McCain supporters in the Fourth of July Kailua Parade "move it along, Obama '08, Obama '08"

Project 365 Week 4 Layout





So here's Week 4, I feel like I'm falling behind already. I managed to get this layout done in less than an hour, which kind of  surprised me! I guess those Photoshop classes ARE paying off. I'm finding that of the Adobe applications that I have, I like Photoshop the best. I'm getting used to InDesign--forcing myself to use it rather than MS Publisher (did I tell you how people in my class looked when I admitted to using MS Pub? Looks of horror and condemnation! *GASP*)

Anyway, I am planning to take more Photoshop classes in April, does anyone want to join me? ;0). I have to say, I'm loving Adobe CS4, probably because I've learned more about it. So far, I've taken Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator classes. Illustrator hasn't been my favorite, but I need to do more with it, so we can become 'friends'. Hahahahaha

Have a great week!
