So it has been a long week! I started work last Thursday and it went really good. There is a lot for me to learn still, but I think it will all be okay. I worked Friday also and then had the weekend off to spend with Charles. We were invited to a crab boil on Saturday night by some people from his boat. It was really good, just not like back home. Nothing like back home!
Sunday afternoon we drove out to the Northwest Point of Oahu where the road ends (literally)! The boys wanted to snorkel and see what it was like out there. It was pretty, but the water was just too cold and choppy for me. Like I said before, the sorroundings have to be almost perfect for me to get in the water. So I laid on the beach again...which I don't mind. It was really hot that day though. I have decided that I want to invest in a beach chair with the little shade thing attached so I won't be soooo hot. I think that would be a smart investment since we go to the beach so much and we live in Hawaii.
On Monday, Charles had to go back to work duty. I set out for some errands and I wanted to search for a kitchen table. We don't have one, so we always are eating on the sofa and Bourbon is at that same level. I need a table. The one I really want is at Pier 1 and is too expensive, so I was trying to find something cheaper. I had an urge to stop at the local thrift store...my gut was just telling me that I needed to. And boy, am I glad I did! I found an old kitchen table for just $15 dollars! I bought it...I figured "who could go wrong?" I am going to need to paint it, but I think I can handle that just fine. I have to figure out how to get it home though. Salvation Army doesn't deliver. I think it may fit in Kristen's jeep, but not sure yet. We shall see... I recovered and repainted the chairs that I found and I will post some pics later. Then I took a much hated trip to the commissary where I saved another $23 dollars in coupons! I can't imagine going shopping without coupons. Its like giving away free money. I will never shop without them. My bill was about $150 for groceries, and with the coupons it went down to about $126. Wow! What a savings! And that pretty much completes my Monday.
Now it is Tuesday morning and I am blogging. Blog, Blog, Blog. I'm still in bed, just blogging...Supposed to be checking out the new scrapbook store in Kahala today with bestie. I am kind of excited...I always like to find new ones!
Charles' boat has been delayed again. I will let everyone know when he will be going back out to sea. It may be a while. For now, he is happy being home. Except when he has to go to work! But I don't think anyone likes to go to work. They are having some issues with some folks on the boat, so I think that they are trying to get it all resolved. I love having him here with me, but the laundry pile does grow to gargantuan size and there is always a mess left wherever he goes. Ahh! The joys of living with the opposite sex. Mind boggling to me. Everything has a place...SO PUT IT THERE!
Stay tuned...I will try to post more soon.
