"Aloha in the Hawaiian language means affection, peace, compassion and mercy".
Even though my lieutenants are not local boys they surrounded me with aloha last week.
If you remember in my first post I am lucky enough to know to naval lieutenants on the island (Ben and Matt).
This past week has been slightly more challenging and exhausting for me. I have been working on the other side of the island which may not seem far but it means I have to wake up a lot earlier than I would like. That month of not working and enjoying slow leisurely mornings on the mainland is kicking my butt now. I have to pass by town (Waikiki) on my way across the island so I opted to take advantage of their central location and crash for a few days. There were a few other factors in this decision but the driving (gas $) was very influential.
I was instantly greeted by my officers with bags full of fresh groceries from the commissary. We all had our designated stations for dinner. I made the salad, Ben made the fish, and Matt the smoothie appetizer (not pictured).
This was the perfect healthy meal for me considering all I had eaten that day was half a banana and half a bag of cheese puffs. The other problem with my car being my office is no matter how committed I am it is very challenging to eat healthy on the road. Maybe I can meet some truckers for lunch and we can start a work out routine.
After dinner Matt went to bed to read and Ben and I watched trashy television.
The next morning I woke up to what is now becoming the traditional Hawaiian rainbow. This one threw in a twist and was a double!
I am still waiting to catch my Tako. It WILL happen and i WILL be a brave girl.
While on the topic of aloha check out my roommates charity to help feed the hungry on the on island.
