Busy, busy, busy.....

It has been a hectic and busy week...Ive been in a class all week, and dealing with family issues at night. I swear I am so exhauseted by the time I get home I end up going to be around 8pm. No, Im not 80 years old as Eric seems to think, just mentally tired. I feel so bad that I havent been able to work out like I want to either...Ever since I hurt my hand a week ago I havent done much in the way of working out....needless to say I feel like crap.

OH, BTW, I found out i have the same blood type as my mom so I passed the first hurdle to becoming her kidney donor. Next week we go to see the transplant coordinator and we are also waiting for the approval from her insurance company for her to go through with the surgery. We shall see....hopefully I pass the battery of tests which are ahead of me.

On another note, Chris is out. Shawn bailed him out and had a few choice words for him as well. I am seriously praying he has learned from all of this.

Sunday Afternoon.

Okay so here I sit on a Sunday afernoon. So much has gone on in the last 2 days. I didnt end up doing anything Friday night...and boy did it feel good. Yesteday I laid around the house and cleaned. Shawn and I got invited to dinner with some friends to Maili's Thai Food in Hawaii Kai....we were on my way when I recieved a phone call from my mom. She said, "come now I just called the cops on Chris." Needless to say Shawn and I turned around and made a b-line for her house which was about 5 minutes away.

By the time we got there, the police were already there and half the neighborhood was standing outside as well. To make a long story short, they took Chris and they told my mom he wouldnt get out until Monday at 4:30. Through all the drama he causes even during my mothers fragile state, I felt really sorry for him. Did he have to let himself fall that far to get arrested? When was he going to learn that my mother is literally his life line and no one else would help him???Like I was taught at a young age, you NEVER bite the hand that feeds you...in this case he was doing it for way too long.

Im kind of sad about the whole situation...he has no where to go and needs to shape up rather quickly, but Im not sure he can man up to the challenge.

Today I had an appointment at the blood bank to donate blood...but I was rejected because of the nasty open wound i have on my hand from eating it while running down a gravel trail! Oh well, maybe next time.

Sunday Afternoon.

The upcoming weekend.....

I have a 3 day weekend and do not know what I am going to do. One t hing I do know though is that I will be hiking up the Makapu Light House when I get off of work. I need the exercise and who cares if I just lost the skin off of my left palm and skinned my knees on that very trail on Tuesday afternoon. Oh well, I just won't run down the hill this time....Ill walk it. I also have to go to my moms house to give her her weekly shot in her arm. After that, I am free game.

Shawn ever so sneakily asks me what my plans are tonite and when I ask him "why" he says he might go out....I think okay, great! Its a perfect opportunity for me to hang out with my friends as well....then I get the"well, Im not sure what I want to do" statement. I am completely irritated by then and encourage him to go out so I can ditch him too.....hahahaha. So, here are my options for tonight...hang out with a girl I know named Venus (and possibly get raped by her in the process) j/k, meet up with Jermaine (I have to do that anyway, I need to pick up his info to do his taxes for him), or call one of my friends that just moved back to Hawaii...Michelle. Not sure what I want to do yet. What I do know is that I need a DRINK...wait, maybe a few!!!

Saturday is the Pepper concert which I really want to go to but unfortunately it is 18 and over....not so bad if I was inmy 20's, but again, I am in my 30's. I still may go...with Shawn or maybe other friends depending on how he acts! Im not sure I really want to go with him...he is not really a partier and already proclaimed I am not drinking if we go....so i figure I can fix that....ill just go without him....hahahaha

Some of the people who keep me SANE!!!

These are some of the people in my life that keep my sanity level at NORMAL!

Picture 1:

Vanessa~ One cool ass chick! I dont know what else to say. I met her in my Freshman year at the University of San Francisco. She lived down the hall in the Hayes-Healy dorms with me. Ever since we met, we have been great friends. She lives in LA, but i try to visit when i can, and she comes to visit me in Hawaii as well. She is also one of the girls I would have in my wedding IF I EVER did get married.

Picture 2:

My cousin Malia~ I dont talk to her very often or even see her that much but she always puts things into perspective for me when it comes to family matters. Also, yes, we are first cousins! Why doesnt anyone believe us?????

Picture 3:

My BFF Jermaine. Ive known him for about 10 years now. I met him while in college and we have been friends ever since. I love him because he never judges me and is always there for me. I may not talk to him for 6 months but when I do, its like we never skipped a beat. I know he is one person I can always call for anything! BTW, he too is in his 30's and not married....hahaha

Pictire 4:

My BFF Nellie. I met her about 2 years ago while working in Washington D.C. We have been friends ever since. She is just one of those girls i "clicked" with (even when she thought I was a bitch when she first met me....dont worry Nellie, I forgive you). Those are extremely hard to come by!!! I still talk to her all the time and if I was to EVER get married, she would be in my wedding.

Random background info......

I’m not sure if I really ever saw myself as they "type" of person who would want to get married but I sort of admire the idea. I know I have had my fair share of ups and downs with the subject. There were a few times in my life where I thought I had found someone I could seriously marry. Now in hindsight, I praise the gods that it never happened. I was either too young, too naive, or just not in the "right" place with myself. Hell, it was probably a combination of all three and then some.

A reality check really came in the form of all things, FACEBOOK! I began receiving friend requests from people I went to high school with and there was one prominent theme~ Everyone seemed to be married and most had a family too! WOW, did I miss the boat on this or something???? Was I so bad at relationships that I wasn’t married, or even close to married, and in my 30's? I know I’m not some kind of outer world mutant who is absolutely disgusting, so what is my problem? I am educated, have a career, and fun to be with (hahaha, so Ive been told). I don’t think im the prettiest girl out there, but I know I am not the ugliest either..... Someone please send me some insight..... I am beginning to think it is the type of guys that I am choosing to be with.

Well, I need to get back to what pays the bills so I will update this blog a little later... Aloha~
