Hobbies and furniture

I have been trying to figure out "my hobby" for a while now.  I like drinking, but it is giving me a beer belly.  I tried knitting, not very good at it and hello??? I live in Hawaii, not a big need for sweaters and blankets out here.  I bought a sewing machine... um, I need lessons.  I went to the hardware store, bought some wood and a table saw and ended up with a chair while still keeping all my appendages.  I'm good at that!  After much debate, discussion and napping (on my part) the husband and I decided to start rescuing and refinishing furniture.  We have a backyard full of furniture as you can see below.  I am excited to start refinishing these.  Lots more pictures to come, meawhile, what do you think?

Two metal tables and two metal footrests.  All rusty and peely.  These need help!

The rest of the metal patio set with beautiful bones, more rust and peeling.

We need more space!  Under the tarp a table, 4 chairs, and part of a desk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just another Friday night in paradise

My honey man made me sangria tonight...  So delicious, so strong.  We are hanging out, talking to old friends and just generally loving on one another.  I am the luckiest woman in the world to be married to my gorgeous hunk of man husband.  He is so kind and loving to me.  I can't believe how luck I am to have this man in my life!  I am so happy and lucky and blessed.  It only took me 35 years to find him... it was so worth waiting for.

Well then. Years later... Shit, I thought I might blog more than once a year, but damn it, I have been busy. My lover man proposed. I said yes (imagine that). I planned a wedding. We got married twice in the same month (more on that later). And here we are, it is March and I still think he is the bee's knees. The cat's meow. The tango in my, well fuck it.... He rocks my world, I love him, the end. Trying to get preggers, not working out. I am old for getting knocked up. As in 35 going on 36. We want a bunch of kids, but so far nothing. I search the Trying To Conceive forums (TTC), and feel like I am grasping at straws. Want baby, want baby now. I don't want to wait, I don't want to wonder if I am broken or is he broken or is writing on your blog for the first time in months with a wine buzz a good idea. I just want. I read other blogs about women who tried for years and women who tried for hours and wonder. I wonder the following:
Am I half as funny as them?
Will i get pregnant soon?
Yep, that's it, that's all I wonder. Except this...
Am I weird or normal?

Blogging... is it for me?

I thought it might be fun to blog... or it might be one of those things I pick up for a couple hours and never do again. I guess we will find out. I am happily recovering from my IPL photofacial. The best thing you can ever do for your skin! Gets rid of acne, clears up any yucky brown spots, minimizes fine lines, shrinks pores, if it could mix me a cocktail and make me a tasty treat, I would become a dermatologist! I have got to stay out of the sun, or at least wear sunscreen more religiously. Ah well, at least I don't look my age yet. I am turning 35 next week, yikes. Time goes so fast. My sweet lover man is off at work tonight, I miss him when he isn't here. Silly I know, I will see him tomorrow. I just love being with him. I am a lucky girl. I went for a motorcycle ride tonight, first time in the rain. I don't care for being beaten in the face with rain. My honey is nervous about me riding until we lower my new bike (his old bike). But I am trying to get more comfortable riding so we can go all over the island on our own bikes. Although, I do love being cuddled up behind him.
