Why don’t YOU take the stairs??

There is a new sign posted by our elevator banks that says, "Why not take the stairs?". I resent this sign. Every time I see it, I come up with several reasons why I don't take the stairs:

1. I'm afraid of getting locked in the stairwell (ok, not really)
   
2. Stairs make my legs ache
   
3. I have no idea where the stairwells lead to and I'm not exactly in the mood to go exploring when it's 5:01 and I'm ready to get the heck out of dodge
   
4. Stairs make my head ache
   
5. Why take the stairs when the elevator is so convenient?
   

My question back to this sign is "Why not mind your own bizniz?"

WHY??

won't these go away!?!

There is no need....

to be at work at 6 am. Yet, this is what I've been doing and what I will be doing all week. It's ok though, it's just 5 days so I think I can handle it. I'm working at one of the stores in Plano which is actually really interesting to me. But I'm sure it's not interesting to you.

I've tried, unsuccessfully, to think of something else to write. However, since nothing is coming to me at the moment, I'm just gonna give up and go take a nap (or work for the next 9 hours).

Maui weddings with David Robinson

Our trip to Maui is sadly coming to an end. We've had a great time doing a lot of nothing, though somehow this has worn me out. It's been great having a semi-local to show us around....secret beaches, half price drinks, comp'd snorkeling trips, etc. Highlights of the trip include: beach hopping from resort to resort, driving out to Hana, hiking to a super secluded beach (and falling on lava rock that cut me up - doh!), meeting new people at bar-b-q's thrown in our honor....the list could go on. The best part was seeing an old friend and catching up.

Today Lance and I hung alone on Wailea beach in front of the Four Seasons resort. We spent the day reading, swimming, drinking, and occasionally napping. We decided to stay out until sunset, and as we were relaxing taking it all in, a wedding party came through. And who was part of that party? David Robinson! We both pretended not to see him, although I was gawking behind my sunglasses. He was literally 5 feet away from me, yet I turned my head away and directed my gaze towards the sunset. Lucky for Lance my camera was out of batteries, otherwise I might have snapped a photo. So there, a vacation trip complete with celebrity appearances. Who could ask for more??

ahhh...

after 10 hours of travel, we're in Maui!! Our flight was supposed to only be 5 1/2 hours from LA, but we sat on the runway for 2 hours. Mechanical issues that they thought were kinda important before we started flying over water. Thanks American Airlines! Good thing I took my ambien, which knocked me out those 2 hours on the runway!

I'm so happy go be here and even happier that my good friend Amanda is a concierge at the Four Seasons. She's hooked us up with dinner reservations tonight.. and now i gotta go because lance is asking me to hurry up!

mahalo!

I heart cupcakes

We are FINALLY all moved into the new house!! It was a hectic / frantic / insane Monday trying to get all the paperwork signed and bending over backwards for our stupid lenders, but it's finally done! Now the arduous task of unpacking all of our crap. I thought I had done a decent job of de-cluttering, but after unpacking my closet last night, I realized I have way more stuff that could have gone to Goodwill. Oh well.

My Mom and my sister came up to help us get unpacked. They are so much better at arranging furniture than I will ever be (i have the attention span of an ant when it comes to stuff like that).

Highlight of the move: mom unpacking the kitchen - gets to my phallic-shaped cupcake tins (don't judge, they were for a bachelor party!), turning the tin over and over (i think she was trying to work out in her head what exactly the shape was), my brother snickering cause he realized immediately what it is, and my sis saying "wow, that's embarrassing". Mom finally snapped and just said "oh, where do you want these??"

OOC

Since most things in my life right now are mostly out of my control (and therefore, out of control), I thought I"d make some changes to something I totally control - my blog! I got tired of the standard template, so I've copied someone else's and am really digging it. Too bad I don't know html, otherwise I'd totally have this thing tricked out.
