How I did it
How to make more money
It took me
5 months
It made me
tired


How to help Sister Golden Hair's Journal travel the world, collect some profoundness, and gather some whimsy
It took me
4 months
It made me
very happy


How to turn my entire front yard into a garden full of vegetables, shrubs and flowers and abolish the ludicrous, outdated and wasteful idea of having a big lawn.
It made me
Very proud.

Bread in Hawaii 3 minutes ago

The price of bread in Hawaii has just gotten so high that I have to consider a bread machine. A loaf of the cheapie kid bread is almost $4. Real bread is over $6. My friend that knows everything and I had a great discussion about it the other day. He has made about 100 loaves of bread with his machine in the last year. He has calculated it out to be approximately $1 per loaf, ingredients and power included. Its roughly $2 if you factor in the cost of the machine. His was $140. And he even knows how much time it takes for him to clean the machine and prepare for the next batch. He is my best friend and I am so lucky that he knows these things. Healthy bread in an unhealthy world. Seems reasonable.

Insane Sarah Palin and why I now sleep with my iPhone 14 minutes ago

Awoke this morning to monsoon rains, gentle tradewinds blowing through my windows, and the sound of an email update being delivered to my email on my iPhone. I rolled over to the pillow next to me and opened my twitter feed to find a tiny url link to a great blog by wonkette. http://wonkette.com/409650/insane-sarah-palin-late-at-night-on-july-4-threatens-to-sue-entire-internet-via-twitter The story is surreal, and it makes you glad we live in the land of the free. Yes, Sarah, you have lost your mind and we are all so glad you are not a heartbeat away from running our country. The comments hit me right in my heart. I love this country. I love the world. I love blogging and twitter and all things digital. Thats why I sleep with my iPhone.
