Aloha Means Sadness

Seriously. Once again, I’m going into the personal here, but I’m not gonna lie: I’m kinda sad today and my usually happy face is a little chipmunk-esque from the tears I shed this morning. Why? Because my sis left this morning to embark on her exciting adventure –and move– to Hawaii.

Yes, that Hawaii. Of course, I am very excited for her to begin her career as a PA (and super excited to have a derm sister that can do all sorts of fun things with my face AND fix my premature wrinkling issues!), and I am absolutely going to love visiting her in Oahu…. but I am going to miss my sister. Hawaii is so far away and I can’t just hop in the car and arrive at her door a few minutes later. This realization hit me as I hugged her goodbye before I left for work this morning. Sure, we have our sister squabbles and we both have memories of slap fights when we were little kids. I mean, what sisters didn’t do that stuff?! But as the years have gone by, I think we have become as close as sisters can be. Sigh. But not to worry — I dare say we have some exciting Hawaiian adventures planned for this winter, so stay tuned!!

In other news, my mom did something for me today that cheered me up in a way that only a mother could do:

Yes, that’s right — she found my pumpkin!! If you remember from my post awhile back, I was in a huge crisis because my local grocery store was out of pumpkin for the season. Now, I’ve heard some local natural grocery stores have some, but I hadn’t had the time to search it out. Luckily, my mom is awesome and grabbed 2 cans for me when she saw some at Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, I have a personal ban against Wal-Mart so I can’t go in the store to buy any myself….but I am more than willing to accept these babies! Pumpkin oatmeal muffins, here I come!!!!

Last but not least, I need your help!!  I am going to listen to your words of wisdom, and I would like to change the name of the blog. I’d like something not so generic, unoriginal, and non-descript, and I want to change before I convert anything else over. In your opinion, what would be good title for my blog? Are they any words that you think encompass the essence of my blog; words that I should include in my new title? I would seriously appreciate the help here, and am looking for ANY and ALL ideas!!!!
