remember that life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out

For anyone that doesn’t know it, Hawaii has an independence movement. This week there was a big issue because Obama was visiting and an american newscaster accused him of taking a vacation in an exotic foreign land. So our legislators pointed out that, yes we are indeed a state. At the same time, there are many groups here that don’t want to be a state, they want to be independent again. So last night, as I was walking downtown, I noticed a large group of law enforcement near the capital. Yes, the King and Queen of Hawaii had taken back the palace again. http://starbulletin.com/2008/08/16/news/story01.html So interesting to live here. So interesting to know that there are people that take action based on their beliefs.

but can I exchange the martini for a single malt whiskey?

born for: for attending dinner shows in magnificently restored 1930s nightclubs, dressed to the nines, and afterwards gambling at the casino until daybreak (which is kind of easy this time of the year in Bohemia – we only get about two hours of darkness…).

Yesterday it was a show of Sinatra songs, excellent food, great company, lots of laughter, lots of fun. This will certainly become a new tradition for us and our dear friends who have their wedding anniversary a week before we do. I’m such a darned lucky girl to have so many wonderful people who speak to my being in my life.

These guys in the snack shop where I have my second job have M&M parties. Actually, its the guy that runs the snack shop and a regular customer. They eat the kind with peanuts. I just like plain. Its really great to have an excuse to buy a bag of candy and offer some to people. Many people like the peanut kind.

I’m still going to start doing Pilates though.

Live life fully! Be happy! Be free! Love.

‘woo hoo, what a ride!’”

I lost a lot of goals when I deleted, but in honour of my old friend GhostLotus this was one I wanted to bring back.

This goes along with the fabulous at 50 goal. I’m bringing them all back. I want to LIVE.

Be A Succulent Wild Woman
Be “One Hot Mama” like Trace Adkins sings about
Honour my inner Goddess
the Sisterhood of the Brazen Hussy

Seems I am collecting these kinds of goals… mayhaps I should forgo the diet and just enjoy my life!
